What You Say about AccessArt

• “I love the site and it gives me a fresh perspective after teaching art for 20 years it’s easy to get into ruts of doing too much of the same stuff. There was one sculpture of birds that I incorporated into my curriculum this year and they are beautiful.”

• “The posts on Facebook that I quickly read and it triggers a little idea I can add to my lessons the next week bring art into all subjects. One such post was about making a little sketchbook. So I did! I made 70 from a paper for out year cohort to use whilst out on a field trip exploring our local area for our local history topic. No worksheets. ..just sketching.”

• “Really good to know there’s a community out there as when you are almost always leading
  projects alone. Great, thank you.”

• “What i particularly like are the warm up exercises for drawing that you share with us –
  particularly good at putting the kids at ease with the drawing process – and the projects can be followed easily.”
