3. How do you want to be remembered?
During this topic we will be studying artists and designers from a number of time periods. We will try to create artwork based on the styles of a number of painters; create sculptures from a variety of materials and we will also be making cars in our Design and Technology lessons.
We will also look at how ICT can help us to research, perform and record creative information; how to record and perform our own work and how gestures and movement are an important art form.
We’ll also be finding out how different art forms and different cultures and countries influence each other and look at the links between Art and history/geography.
