START Magazine

START was an exciting and stimulating magazine for teachers of pre-school and primary art, craft and design published between 2003 and 2010 when it was replaced by AD Magazine. START was full of ideas and resources intended to support classroom practice - it was therefore decided to archive all back copies on this website. They are accessible to all NSEAD members and AD Magazine subscribers.
 
 

International Journal of Art & Design Education

Prior to 2000 known as the Journal of Art & Design Education, iJADE provides an international forum for the dissemination of ideas, practical developments, and research findings in art and design education. The Journal is a primary source for independently refereed articles about art and design education at all levels.

The Journal reflects and welcomes a wide range of theoretical and practical approaches especially those that debate the social and cultural values which inform art and design education, offer illustrated case studies, analyse and exemplify specific art, craft and design practices in all sectors of education, and that critically engage with the past, present and future of art and design education.

Occasional Papers and Films

These pages list occasional papers and videos produced by or of interest to NSEAD members. Recent subjects range from advocacy and assessment in art and design to using Plaster of Paris safely.

Goodwill Art

It’s not difficult to download art images on-line, but reliable educational material to help teachers to put them in context is less easy to come by. Goodwill Art’s well-proven resource is a labour-saving, easy-to-use teaching folder containing postcards, background notes and classroom activities. There are teacher's packs on scores of subjects — many of them cross-curricular.
