My name is Wendy Hobbs and I am an artist who has spent several years working as an HLTA. I was responsible for the art provision across the whole school, covering the full primary range, working closely with teachers to provide PPA cover to blend with their teaching. I am currently home educating my Yr6 child and many of the worksheets have been developed as part of the work we are doing.
Are there any that would enhance your school or home classroom experience?

Primary school art worksheet to use at the end of a lesson as children start to finish their work. We refer to it as Free Draw, but it still provides guidance and structure whilst allowing the children to use their imagination.
Pupils fill in the circles with detailed drawings of items that are circular in shape, e.g. pizza, dough nut, eyeball, apple, etc. Sheets can be stuck into pupils sketch books and added to at each session as time allows.
The task is fun but encourages observation, lateral thinking and drawing skills. Suitable for all levels of ability.
Also useful in a unit on 2D shapes.
One of those random things that can be needed in a primary school at Christmas!
Print onto card and either, attach base of camel’s face to a headband made from a ring of card so it doesn’t cover the child���s face, or attach to a stick so it can be held up when needed.
Hopefully this might save someone some time!
