Thinking Deeply about Primary Education

Finding time in busy timetables for high-quality art lessons

Listen Later

Episode 213: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by secondary art teacher Andrea Welsh to explore the importance of art education and how to ensure high-quality art lessons despite the pressures of a packed timetable.

We discuss:

  • Why art is often overlooked and how it contributes to students’ education and development.
  • The four key features of an effective art lesson.
  • What teachers can do to improve their own artistic skills, even if they don’t consider themselves “good at art.”

    • Whether you’re an art specialist or a generalist looking to strengthen your approach to art teaching, this episode is packed with insights and practical strategies.
