The resources below aim to encourage pupils and teachers to explore and talk about different aspects of the visual arts.
It is important that all pupils encounter a diverse range of artists, craftspeople and designers, enabling them to see themselves reflected, discover new perspectives and feel inspired in their own creative work.
AccessArt Talking Points are curated art education resources that help teachers and pupils across all key stages explore artists, artworks and creative practices. They develop creative and critical thinking, build oracy skills and encourage curiosity and confidence in looking at, thinking about and discussing art, craft and design. They also help pupils make meaningful connections with their own ideas and artwork.
