Description

Pupils will explore environmental issues, creating work inspired by artists who promote a love for nature and raise awareness of human impact on the planet. These lessons encourage critical thinking and self-expression, fostering an understanding of how art and design can advocate for change.

This unit deepens pupils' knowledge of the presence and importance of nature in art, craft, and design. Building on their existing skills, pupils will explore the natural world and its role in shaping our lives and environmental issues.
