Learning outcomes
Visual arts, levels 3–4
Understanding the arts in context
During our pre-visit exercises we will develop our ideas and understanding about the kinds of technology used by different people, e.g. children and adults, and how paintings can be created and experienced.
Developing ideas
During our pre-visit exercises we will develop our ideas and understanding about the kinds of technology used by different people, e.g. children and adults, and how paintings can be created and experienced.
Developing practical knowledge
During our visit we will use colour, shape, pattern, scale and other art-making tools to create an abstract painting that represents the kinds of technology we use.
Communicating and interpreting
During this school programme we will share our ideas and thoughts about the art we see and make. We will listen to how others have created their art.
Mathematics
Geometry and measurement
During our pre-visit exercise we will explore how measurement plays an important part in making an abstract painting. We will use methods of measuring to help create close representations of the objects we are drawing.
Technology
Nature of technology: characteristics of technology
During our pre-visit exercise we will explore how technology has developed from generation to generation. We will also explore how technology has influenced art and the way we make it.
