ClicknColour


 * __Resource:__** []

ClickNcolour is a website created by artist Debbie Neal who has also worked as a teacher’s aide in a special education classroom. Through her experience she found the need for ‘colouring in’ formats that are appropriate for older students. This allows students to exhibit creativity and can also be seen as a calming activity. This resource can either be printed or downloaded to an ipad.

Older students with special needs however could be used in upper primary levels.

In the classroom I would use the colouring sheets as a calming activity if the student became unsettled. In saying that, the resource could also be used as a reward system for completing other work in the classroom. Another activity that could result from this resource would be exploration in shape and colour identification. I would then use the final product to include in a portfolio or a gift to present to the parents.

Brumleve (n.d.) believes there are emotional and physical benefits of individuals with disabilities or learning difficulties participating in art activities. By creating pieces of art individuals are able to communicate their self expression, providing others with a glimpse into their world. This provides others the opportunity to understand the point of view of the individual with a disability or learning difficulty.
