Here our (w/MirjamN) last blog for 2019! A Call to Arms: Leverage these Evidence-Informed Standards for Teacher Education. Pretty please! 3starlearningexperiences.wordpress.com/2019/12/23/a-c…

Just been in my fb art group - apparently teaching kids about perspective kills their creativity? #Idontthinkso

Knowledge-rich art: We have to teach children to draw knowledgerich.art.blog/2019/12/24/kno…

This is very interesting. You dont see many blogs by art teachers from the knowledge rich end of things, so I'm looking forward to reading more of Antonia's articles.

Great blog post, and great thread of tweets in response to this

It's the same with jazz improvisation. You've got to know your scales, modes and chord progressions to be able to consciously, and convincingly, depart from these rules. There's even a list of 'standards' - the jazz canon - that you're expected to know. Really chimes w/ this blog

So many art lessons seem to have children drawing from photographs - this is really worrying! The real world doesn't behave like a photo - when you move your head you get parallax and you understand the form of things much better - this needs to be taught!

An interesting read, especially from an Arts perspective.

Love this! Shared with my DD. More please! This is long overdue! We can appreciate the academic order of curriculum, but...the theoretical world can often ignore that it is Art & Design that exclusively makes life bearable. IMHO Art is the foundation of knowledge💐

This is so, so good. What a beautiful example of a deeply knowledgable teacher breaking down a final performance into its building blocks, teaching these explicitly, and providing continuous guidance to pupils, all as a way of unlocking true awe and wonder. Brilliant stuff.

These are excellent.

So interesting to see the components of explicit instruction in a subject like Art.

I love this blog. I wish we did more of this kind of sharing, explicitly laying out how we teach a subject, it's fascinating.

This is a brilliant approach.
