PS S4.2 Interior Perspectives TEACHER RESOURCE

Interior Perspectives is an engaging and versatile teacher resource that integrates technical art skills with creative expression, supporting both artistic and academic growth in students. Designed to align with the NSW Visual Arts Syllabus, this resource empowers educators to teach one-point perspective drawing while connecting visual art with key learning areas such as numeracy and literacy.

Key Features:

• Link to Numeracy: Explore the world of perspective drawing with one-point perspective techniques that teach students spatial awareness and measurement, reinforcing mathematical concepts.

• English Integration: Students will apply their creative writing skills by visualising narrative pieces, using their art to bring stories to life. This cross-curricular approach strengthens both artistic and literacy skills.

• TEEL Paragraphs & Super 6 Literacy Strategies: The workbook guides students in writing structured TEEL (Topic sentence, Evidence, Explanation, Link) paragraphs, supporting their written reflections on their artwork. It also incorporates the Super 6 literacy strategies to enhance comprehension and critical thinking skills, helping students engage deeply with both their artistic process and written analysis.

• NESA Verbs & Learning Frameworks: Aligned with NESA verbs and curriculum expectations, this resource supports the development of critical thinking and reflective practice, encouraging students to engage with their art in a purposeful, structured manner.

• ICT Integration & Video Tutorials: The resource includes access to ICT video tutorials that allow students to learn at their own pace. These tutorials guide students through each step of the process—from one-point perspective drawing to watercolour techniques, empowering them to work independently while building confidence in their artistic abilities.

• Learning Intentions & Success Criteria: Each section of the workbook is clearly defined with learning intentions and success criteria, ensuring that both students and teachers have a clear understanding of what is to be achieved. This supports effective assessment and reflection on student progress.

• Gradual Release of Responsibility Model: The resource incorporates the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model, starting with direct teacher instruction and gradually moving towards student independence. This scaffolded approach ensures that students build confidence and mastery of the skills at their own pace.

Designed for both experienced art teachers and those new to the field, Interior Perspectives equips educators with practical tools, resources, and strategies to make visual arts a transformative experience for students. With its blend of creative skill-building, literacy development, and structured learning, this resource offers a comprehensive approach to teaching art that nurtures both technical ability and creative growth.
