Art Discovery Boxes are resource loan boxes for schools, intended to bring learning to life! They aim to provide teaching ideas and learning inspiration through modern art. Each box supports exploration of a different theme (see below). They can be used across the key stages.
Each box contains: printed teaching and learning resources, an easel, an A2 artwork for display, handling objects, a selection of other artworks, and some linked fiction books. There is a lesson plan in each box to facilitate use, as well as a range of activity suggestions to dip in and out of. Electronic copies of resources, including supporting Powerpoints, are emailed to schools in advance (see below for links). Boxes are delivered and collected. Loans are for a two week period and absolutely free to Swindon schools!
For more information, or to book a box, email maparker@swindon.gov.uk
