These cards have been developed by artist, art educator and early childhood professional Melissa Underwood for Inspired EC and we are so excited about them – they are highly visual and informative.  

 

These cards have been designed to support educators artistic skills, sensibility, arts pedagogy and inspire discussion, ideas and creative and reflective thinking.

They provide a brief overview of artistic developmental theories and approaches, basic art mediums with intentional teaching strategies, DIY tips, reflective prompts and practical exercises for educators to explore either on their own or in groups.
