Why this why now
It is important for pupils to understand that artists influence all of the images and ideas they see in film, TV and computer games. Many artists and animators working in the film industry started by making simple drawings, models and animations such as these. Modern technology means it is very accessible for pupils to do this too.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Prior experience of investigating & analysing artists work to formulate personal opinions
- Ability to express thoughts & ideas on topical subjects through sketches & written notes
- Appropriate level of fine motor skills needed to manipulate materials
- Experience of using digital media to create content
