Another new link has been added, this time to the Visual Arts Data Services (VADS), which is a gateway to digital images for use in arts education.
Based at the University College for the Creative Arts in Farnham, the VADS have over 100,000 images on line that are freely available and copyright-cleared for use in teaching and learning in the UK. Their images cover almost everything you can think of including: ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, textiles, architectural drawings, public monuments, religious buildings, urban design, fashion design, graphic design, industrial design, interior design, product & packaging design, drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and photography. This means that they will be useful not only in art lessons but also in D&T, History and RE. For example, through the VADS, you can gain access to over 7000 war posters from the collection of the Imperial War Museum. Check it out - you'll be spoilt for choice.

Golden Time
I've added a new link, which will take you to a page with free activities and ideas for golden time. A lot of them are arts and crafts based and have been divided up into those suitable for Foundation and Key Stage 1 and those for Upper Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. I think its well worth a visit!
