Portfolio Careers in the Visual Arts

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.

Byd o Liw: Y Rhyfel Mawr (2008)
Yn y rhaglen hon a fydd yn cofio'r Rhyfel Mawr 90 mlynedd ar ôl iddi orffen, mae Osi yn edrych ar gynfas eang o fudiadau celf y cyfnod a ddarluniodd ryfel mewn ffordd gwbl newydd a chwyldroadol. Cyn y Rhyfel Mawr, roedd arlunwyr yn dueddol o ramantu rhyfeloedd a milwyr trwy ddarluniau a oedd yn aml iawn wedi'u comisiynu.Ond mae arlunwyr y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf yn dangos dioddefaint a chreulondeb rhyfel mewn ffyrdd uniongyrchol a blaengar. Fe ddylanwadodd y rhyfel yn drwm ar gynnwys lluniau. Mae'r rhaglen yn dangos sut y gwnaeth yr arlunwyr yma ddarlunio rhyfel fel rhywbeth creulon ac annynol er gwaethaf pwysau o lywodraethau gwledydd fel Prydain, Ffrainc a'r Almaen i arlunwyr bortreadu rhyfel fel rhywbeth nobl, aruchel i hybu propaganda rhyfel. Gan ffilmio ar feysydd y gad yn Ffrainc a Fflandrys, cawn weld sut y gwnaeth profiadau tywyll rhyfel ddylanwadu ar arlunwyr Ewropeaidd fel Otto Dix, Picasso, Stanley Spencer, David Jones a Frank Brangwyn.
