**The Artist's Toolkit** [|www.artsconnected.org/toolkit] Artists use visual elements and principles like line, colour and shape as tools to build works of art. The Artist's Toolkit helps students learn about these concepts in a variety of ways. **[|Explore the Toolkit]** with animations and interactive modules. See **[|Artists in Action]** as they create compositions using the visual elements and principles. Delve into the heavily illustrated **[|Encyclopedia]** to learn more about the elements and principles.

Create a Noisy Painting [|www.nationalgallery.org.uk]The National Gallery website is full of wonderful resources. One activity I came across this week was Noisy Paintings. Pupils can choose a painting, and then add many different sounds to it. The finished noisy paintings could then be used as a stimulus for creative writing or emailed to a teacher, along with a description the pupil has written about their creation.
