Portfolio Careers in the Visual Arts
Artists from Wales: Interpreting Art
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.
Drawing Masterclass
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.

Tua'r Tywyllwch: Philip Jones Griffiths (1999)
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.

Philip Jones Griffiths: Ffotograffydd Rhyfel Fietnam (2016)
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.
