Zart Art Portable Art & Classroom Programme

Hints and Tips

Here are some vital points to keep your art programme moving this year...

Book Week Tips:

  • Involve the whole school in Book Week by assigning a shortlisted book per grade.
  • During Book Week have a book character parade where students and teachers come dressed as one of the characters in this year’s books.
  • Name, date and title your work, preferably on the back of the artwork.
  • Display the artworks with the Picture Book the work is based on. Let the audience know what the book is about, using the students’ words.
  • Ask the students’ to write about the book and what they liked or disliked about it.
  • Send images of the artwork to the Publisher. Hopefully they will pass them on to the author and illustrator of the book.
  • Don’t copy the illustrators work but use it as inspiration for your own artwork.
  • Book Week is about encouraging students to read; to learn about new books; to share favourite writers and illustrators; to look again at old favourite books in maybe a different way; to take time to be alone and just read. Share with the students your favourite books and why you loved them.
  • Invite an author or illustrator to speak to your students leading up to or during Book Week.
