Do you want to inspire the next generation of artists??
We all love art. Whether it’s the graceful lines of Greek sculptures, the rich detail of Renaissance portraits, or the bold colours of modern Pop Art, everyone has their favourite style. The difficult part is finding out what art you as an individual like. This can be even harder for students as they might not be aware of all different styles of art, or may think that art isn’t “cool”. With a BBC Teach’s new KS2 Art and Design: The Superpower of Looking in partnership with Art UK. It contains a colelction of short films for primary school students (KS2) showing people looking afresh at well-known works of art and explores how they use the skill of looking in their own lives and careers. On the BBC Teach webite they have got 5 short clips from some famous faces looking deeper into some popular paintings. What’s more, Art UK has created a range of fantastic lesson resources to accompany the videos, which you can easily access below: As the humble author of this blog post, I personally enjoyed the video featuring Ade Adepitan, who explores Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear. The accompanying lesson plans from Art UK are equally brilliant, offering a deeper dive into the painting and its significance. Why not explore this wonderful resource with your students and see what hidden art enthusiast lies within them?
