“Dear Mrs Haynes
I couldn't believe it! The Magic Lantern has been a pleasure to see. It was wonderful. My favourite picture was the one with the icicles by Andy Goldsworthy. That was over the moon. I hope you come again because the presentation was awesome. ” From Ismail Aswat, pupil at Uplands Primary School, Leicester. Teachers also say that they learn a great deal about paintings and about their pupils:
"I was amazed to see one child who usually struggles to concentrate and to make comments, continually with his hand up, making perceptive observations and totally engaged throughout!" Lambeth.
"I was surprised the children could find so much detail in the pictures. I underestimated their ability to study art." Barnet Teachers learn how to exploit the material for follow-on ideas:
"Jo's visit was a great success with superb outcomes. She used her good subject knowledge to explain the paintings to the children and her enthusiasm and knowledge and good teaching were apparent. Working with Jo gave me confidence to tackle follow-up lessons the next day. The children enjoyed arranging their own still lifes and have produced some wonderful work." Greenwich.
I never thought adult pictures could be fun. I have never bothered to look at them before. I’m going to ask my dad to see how much he knows about why an artist has painted a picture the way he has !‘
