Goodwill
Art folders resource Art, Craft, Design, Technology, RE and
cross-curricular teaching. They access knowledge and understanding of the
field loosely called visual culture. Through postcards of art and
artefacts, and teaching guides, they develop visual literacy. This is a
vital skill in the 21st century — as the ‘creative
industries’ become wealth producers.
A
flexible resource
For students of any age, examining well-chosen postcards will stimulate
interest in art, craft and design. Collections
can be arranged in any order for viewing and discussion.
Individual paintings, sculptures and artefacts provoke widely
differing responses, which encourage communication skills and help to
inspire practical work.
Covering
a global spectrum, Goodwill’s catalogue lists 80 different subjects.
Each polypropylene loose-leaf folder contains easy-to-read teaching notes
and 25 postcards assembled from museums, galleries and publishers. The
postcards are inserted in 4-card plastic sheets, for convenient use and
easy storage. They can be studied in the display sheets, removed and used
singly, or blown-up on a colour printer (for classroom use only).
The
teaching notes — written in collaboration with art educationists
and other specialists — consist of succinct yet comprehensive background
reading, informative captions for each card and suggested points for
discussion and classroom projects. The
length of the notes varies from 12-page Starter Sets to 32-page RE sets.
Texts are copyright but may be photocopied for classroom use.

suggestions for practical work taken from the imagery … the ideas are full of energy.’ Times
