Why this why now
In previous units pupils drew on contemporary cultural references and developed and were introduced to graphic design contexts. In this unit they explore concepts of culture generating and culture making, applying knowledge from the previous unit. They will develop many of the independent art skills of researching, thinking and idea development needed in key stage 3. Teachers will act as facilitators rather than instructors to enable pupils to realise their own, independent ideas, rather than prescribing or dictating outcomes.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Ability to find, locate and filter information using an internet search
- Understanding of own artistic tastes & preferences
- Ability to sustain and develop a piece of art over several sessions
