QCA
About this unit

In this unit, pupils explore ideas and feelings about an event in their own life as the starting point for image making. They analyse paintings, prints, photographs and digital images, including examples of photojournalism, to learn how visual qualities can be manipulated to evoke strong reactions and to represent ideas, beliefs and values. They make connections between eighteenth- and nineteenth-century paintings and contemporary visual culture.

This unit is expected to take 10-15 hours.
