Spring 1 

Art & Design - L.S.Lowry

The children will have the opportunity to explore the life and work of Lowry and to learn about the industrial landscape that provided the subject of many of his paintings. Each lesson in the unit focuses on improving a key skill in art and design; comparing works of art, colour mixing, perspective, drawing figures and drawing buildings. At the end of the unit children will have used their knowledge and skills to create a multimedia collage in the style of the artist.
