In An Artist's Eyes, follow Jo as he journeys through the world of
colour and creativity in an empowering story of confidence and
imagination. Jo is a little boy who desperately wants to 'see like
an artist'. He tries as hard as he can to see the things the way Mo
the artist does, and when he starts to use his imagination, he
realises that the things he can dream up are completely unique.
From the autumn oranges of the forest floor to pink and lilac
pigeons in flight, Mo teaches Jo to trust his own eyes, and to see
like an artist. This is a magical story about the power of
imagination and discovering that our individual perspectives make
us all artists, and no two artist's eyes are the same.
The ability to produce fluent, legible handwriting with ease is
something that affects attainment in most areas of the curriculum,
yet many children continue to struggle with this vital skill. Based
on holistic principles, this programme offers a different approach,
developing the muscles of the hand - so that children gain the
necessary control to produce letter forms - alongside the
perceptual skills required to orientate and organize letter and
words. The programme is effective for mainstream children aged 4-6
years, children with developmental co-ordination disorders and
older children with mild to moderate learning difficulties. Over
400 carefuly graded exercises and activities develop hand-eye
co-ordination, form constancy, spatial organization, figure-ground
discrimination, orientation and laterality. The package consists of
two pupil workbooks and a teacher's handbook.
