Conceptual Art - KS4 Discussion Lesson with Research Page

This resource is for a KS4 (14-16) lesson on conceptual art that introduces students to the concept of conceptual art and allows for discussion around this topic. The lesson ends with a research page task. This lesson could also be adapted and used for a KS5 art lesson as part of a larger scheme of work.

This lesson was initially created for a Y7 induction day, but has been revamped for KS4 . The lesson is for a 50 minute session but could be expanded over two lessons to spend time on research and creating research pages.
