Description

In this unit, pupils explore how maps can be used in a different way by artists, to tell stories about who we are and where we’ve been. They will create their own personal maps, think about identity, places and people that are imporant to them and journeys they make.

Pupils have already studied the work of artists and makers, in this unit they deepen their understanding of how artists work in studio spaces and where they get their ideas from. Pupils use their own ideas and experiences to make their own map paintings.

  1. Maps as art
  2. Personal geography
  3. Places and migration
  4. Abstract expression
  5. Layering and mixed-media
