Introduction to Banksy lesson resources

This resource is a PowerPoint that includes:

• a presentation on the artist Banksy, with aims/objectives, appropriate information, imagery and YouTube video links.
• a 10 question worksheet which students can use to actively engage with the presentation.
• 5 higher order thinking questions to challenege students to reflect critically on the work of Banksy.
• a set of keywords with definitions specific to Banksy.

The aim of this resource is to introduce students to the work of anonymous street-artist Banksy. This lesson should build their understanding of his style, themes and impact on popular culture.

This resource is designed to be used for a single lesson, however could be adapted over multiple. It is created and used by myself for KS3 art lessons, but could equally be presented to KS4 students.
