A careers resource from Hwb  for learners in Key Stage 3 onwards highlighting what it means to have a portfolio career in the visual arts. Showcasing 15 videos that demonstrate opportunities in the visual arts, including art in healthcare, education, public art, exhibiting and working within galleries.

A strategy to help students of all ages to interpret art. These artworks are from the National Library of Wales' collection and the resource is on Hwb.

Support for Art and Design teachers and lecturers on raising learners' drawing skills based on GCSEs, AS and A-levels in particular but may also be of interest to staff teaching vocational courses at levels 2 and 3.

The package provides useful practical examples showing all the different types of drawing that can be integrated into work plans. As with writing, drawing has many different purposes, and it is important that students are aware of them and convinced of the value of acquiring appropriate skills that will enable them to develop their creative ideas and communicate them visually, in whatever discipline they are studying. The resource pack also includes ten examples of work units that ensure that drawing, particularly observational drawing based on original sources (not photographs), is at the heart of foundation course work plans.

The aim of the 'Celf a Dylunio ar y Map’ is to offer a unique opportunity for Welsh-medium Art and Design students to come together in one place to share and discuss their work and to benefit from the experience of artists and others who work in the industry.  The theme of the festival was 'Reinterpreting Tradition'.  The below video gives a flavour of the festival.

Ffilm ddogfen sy'n dilyn y ffotograffydd Philip Jones Griffiths, y cyn fferyllydd o dref Rhuddlan a fagodd enw rhyngwladol i'w hun fel cofnodydd erchyllterau Rhyfel Fietnam. Mae'r rhaglen yn ei dilyn o Vancouver i Fietnam, ac yn ôl i ailymweld â rhai o'r manau a welodd am y tro cyntaf adeg Rhyfel Fietnam yn y 1970au. Ceir cyfle i ddeall y weledigaeth unigryw o ryfel ac anghyfiawnderau'r byd a greodd rai luniau mwyaf grymus yr 20fed ganrif. Fulmar West, 1999.

Hanner canrif yn ôl, ym 1966, aeth y ffotograffydd o Ruddlan, Philip Jones Griffiths, i Fietnam am y tro cyntaf. Byddai'r profiad yn llywio ei yrfa. Tynnodd Griffiths luniau dirdynnol o effaith ddinistriol rhyfel, nid yn unig ar Fietnamiaid diniwed, ond hefyd ar y milwyr. Newidiodd ei lyfr o luniau du a gwyn, VIETNAM INC. ym 1971, ein dealltwriaeth am byth o'r gwrthdaro gwaedlyd. Gyda chyfweliadau gan y rhai oedd agosaf ato; teulu a ffrindiau a chyd-weithwyr yn cynnwys John Pilger, Don McCullin a'r Athro Noam Chomsky, mae'r rhaglen ddogfen arbennig hon yn bwrw golwg ar fywyd y dyngarwr, a'r etifeddiaeth a adawodd ar ei ôl. Yn glasuron y byd ffotonewyddiaduraeth, mae ei luniau mor bwerus heddiw ag erioed. Rondo, 2016.
