Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "The Art Gallery Handbook" is an invaluable new resource for teachers that will generate stimulating lesson-plans and help schools extract the maximum value from gallery visits. Produced in collaboration with Tate's renowned education departments, this book offers exciting and creative ideas for activities both in and out of the gallery setting, all of which have been tried and tested. Until now there has been nothing available to assist teachers and pupils in engaging with works of art. Not only does the "Handbook" do this, it also specifically addresses the National Curriculum requirements for critical and contextual approaches to art, offering everything from a behind-the-scenes look at how work is selected and presented to contributions from contemporary artists about what a gallery means to them. Cross-curricular approaches and activities are outlined, in particular with such National Curriculum subjects as History and Citizenship, while links with the Literacy strategy are also highlighted. Illustrated throughout with lively and colourful practical examples, "The Art Gallery Handbook" has been developed with teacher groups and the QCA, and will provide a wealth of new ideas for teachers of art to age groups from Key stage 1 through to Key Stage 5, and will have a particular appeal for the non-specialist at Key Stages 1 and 2. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 'Charman writes with intelligence and generosity, and sprinkles her history with details that are enraging, provocative and, frequently, amusing' New StatesmanMotherhood is a political state. Helen Charman makes a radical case for what liberated mothering could be, and tells the story of what motherhood has been, from the 1970s to the 2010s.When we talk about motherhood and politics together, we usually talk about isolated moments - the policing of breastfeeding, or the cost of childcare. But this is not enough: we need to understand motherhood itself as an inherently political state, one that has the potential to pose a serious challenge to the status quo.In Mother State, Helen Charman uses this provocative insight to write a new history of Britain and Northern Ireland. Beginning with Women's Liberation and ending with austerity, the book follows mothers' fights for an alternative future. Alongside the mother figures that loom large in British culture, from Margaret Thatcher to Kat Slater, we meet communities of lesbian squatters, anti-nuclear campaigners, the wives of striking miners and teenage mothers protesting housing cuts: groups who believed that if you want to nourish your children, you have to nourish the world around them, too.Here we see a world where motherhood is not a restrictive identity but a state of possibility. 'Mother' ceases to be an individual responsibility, and becomes an expansive collective term to organise under, for people of any gender, with or without children of their own. It begins with an understanding: that to mother is a political act.…
