Busylizzie Art provided a day of Art Skills training for trainee primary school teachers yesterday and it was hands on all day – compiling a sketchbook of notes and practical activities, adding to it their own examples from the practical activities….

These soon-to-be teachers learned about the progression of skills necessary to develop confident artists first-hand, experiencing mark-making and colour-mixing activities for Early Years through to organisation of materials and understanding how the use of colour can create space in a picture…

These are just a few of the large scale trees that were created in the early part of the day….

After a rewarding day for Busylizzie Art, sharing art skills,  some of the trainees gave up their own time to paint stars for #constellationsav and Stand Against Violence and what a beautiful job they did!!!
