Art can be a chaotic subject to teach, but teaching 'messy art' can also be adventurous and ambitious, and above all, hugely rewarding, with the right approach. In this programme, Art Coordinator Peter Sanders team teaches a Year 1 class on the subject of dark and light using charcoal and chalk with class teacher Sharon Owen from Berger Primary School, east London. The programme follows them through all the stages from planning the lesson and preparing the classroom to the lesson itself, and offers useful ideas for managing messy materials.
