Inspirational ideas for art and design using reclaimed materials.

When considering design work, the most important starting point is to learn to look. The aim of this book is to encourage children to look and 'see' in order to develop an awareness of pattern, shape, colour and texture in the local environment and to use this enhanced awareness to develop their artwork.--Introduction.

Design and technology provides creative play activites for teaching new concepts and skills in design and technology. The themes contain original and exciting ideas within four areas: malleable materials, textiles, modelling and construction. Activities use a variety of resources to produce simple, yet effective artwork and design suitable for three to fives.

Antigone's Daughters? provides the first detailed discussion in English of six well-known Portuguese women writers, working across a wide range of genres: Florbela Espanca (1894-1930), Irene Lisboa (1892-1958), Agustina Bessa Lu's, (1923- ), Nat_lia Correia (1923-93), HZlia Correia (1949 -) and L'dia Jorge (1946 - ). Together they cover the span of the 20th century and afford historical insights into the complex gender politics of achieving institutional acceptance and validation in the Portuguese national canon at different points in the 20th century. Although a patrilinear evolutionary model visibly structures national literary history in Portugal to the present day, women writers and critics have not generally sought to replace this with a matrilinear feminist counter-history. The unifying metaphor that the authors adopt here for the purpose of discussing Portuguese women's ambivalent response to female genealogy is the classical figure of Antigone, who paradoxically sacrifices her own genealogical continuity in the name of defending family and kinship, while resisting the patriarchal pragmatics of state-building. Should women writers, faced with the absence of a female tradition, posit a woman-centred place outside the jurisdiction of male genealogy, however strategically essentialist that place may be, or should they primarily eschew fixed sexual identity to act as unnameable saboteurs, undoing the law of patriarchal tradition from within?

Environmental themes are popular across several subjects. This book offers ideas to develop these themes through art and design technology. It aims to demonstrate how reusable resources can be used, includes outdoor and indoor spaces, wall hangings, and, free standing sculpture.

Provides a variety of ideas for inspiring children's artwork through the use of natural materials. Includes using found materials, environmental inspirations, art using recycled materials, and public art.

Hands on French provides a creative, cross-curricular approach to teaching French through games, activities and display. The teaching ideas focus on developing children's confidence in expressing themselves in a foreign language. The activities cover vocabulary, conversation models and simple grammar. Chapters include Myself and The Town.

This text provides a range of activities that develop children's skills and confidence in the subject. Each activity encourages children to plan, carry out and evaluate their work. Themes are organised around the six core areas of design and technology, including structures and joining, creative cooking and electrical power.
