Description

Pupils will explore the theme of familiy in art and how ideals of what a family is has changed over time. The unit builds on both the history of familial connections in art aswell as exploring contemporary forms of family. Pupils will explore the theme family through 3d forms.

This unit encourages pupils to consider the notion of the family in all of its diversity. This will encourage a deeper reflection and analysis of the various nuances within this theme at a time when pupils increasingly seek to articulate diverse experiences. This complexity of thought will be needed as they move into their exam years and will be supported creatively through more symbolic forms of communication as well as being inspired by more sculptural forms of practice.
