I am about to teach English to a university class of art students in Poland. Specific need analysis and syllabus are still ahead of me, for now however I am trying to find a course book combining art related topics with standard EFL materials I have not succeeded yet. I would also love to get in touch with teachers dealing with similar classes as well as would welcome any hints as to useful internet or any resources. Thanks.

Hello.
I am currently in South Korea Teaching Visual Arts in English for specific purposes.
If you need some ideas, let me know what materials you have to work with or I can forward a list of some sites.
You can also find some of the projects from my students while I was teaching an Art workshop during my postgraduate for inspiration...

I too would welcome any hints or advice. I am trying to teach an older Fine Art student to talk about her work. She can write very well but fumbles her spoken English. So far we've just discussed her work or read articles that I've found on the internet together. I've considered giving her helpful lists of verbs and adjective vocabulary, but I don't know how effective that is. I've got no training or support for teaching conversation. What should I do?

This might be too high level unless you adapt them, but there are connected things in:
(Old) Headway Advanced
Writing Games
Distinction (Advanced)
Museums and galleries also sometimes have specific resources for EFL students, and if not the educational stuff for kids is usually adaptable

You could also give them or ask them to give you a tour or virtual tour of a gallery
