This PowerPoint and lesson is designed to contextualise the Industrial Revolution, and set the scene for the changes it brought about. It outlines what life was like in England in the early 1700’s before the Industrial Revolution. It spends some time examining how the lower classes lived and worked at this time. We look at how some new inventions started to change life for these people, and how towns and cities rapidly grew alongside canals and railways. Children are shown how these changes had both positive and negative impacts and brought about vast contrasts for people living in the countryside and those in the cities. Challenge the children to predict the impact of the changes through a series of carefully structured prompts. Finally we look at the impact on social class the Industrial Revolution had, and how a new class – the middle class – sprang up as a result. A great lesson to set the scene before tackling the Industrial Revolution in more detail.

This Unit of work on Symbolism in Art is suitable for both KS2 and KS3. There is a wealth of information and resources laid out in chronological order – simply decide on how long you wish to spend on each aspect of the topic. During the project we look at: What are Symbols: We look at what symbols are and how they are used in art. Pupils then analyse Holbein’s ‘The Ambassadors’ and investigate the symbols found within the painting. Many fascinating and intriguing stories are hidden within this painting. Unpick the stories by interpreting the symbols. Sketching & Drawing: The children are challenged to invent their own symbols for a number of abstract nouns. Investigating Colour: The children learn that colours can be used as symbols too. Using colours as symbols is introduced through a matching game, then applied to their own symbols. Telling Stories with Symbols: Pupils use symbols and colours to illustrate a story from their own life. Resources: Great PowerPoint packed with dozens of clear, visual information that leads the children through the topic. Print of a set of resources and information sheets for the children – including a small booklet packed with examples of signs and symbols.

This lesson is best suited for KS2 children. The lesson is organised into a number of parts and can be taught in one go or split into units. All information, organisation and examples are included in the PowerPoint slides which guide you through the lesson/s. The additional resources you need can be downloaded as pdf’s and printed off. The structure of the lesson is as follows: Powerpoint slide show introducing surrealism and prominent surrealist artists. Children select 5 ideas cards - these need printing off and arranging in sets. They are colour coded to make it easier. Children must select one card randomly from each set, keeping them in the correct order. This provides them with a title for their surrealist art work. Print off a set of Clue Cards for the class – these cards have examples of illustrations and images for some of the more obscure subjects – ensuring no one will get stuck. Print off a selection of heads – the children then sketch their ideas in and around the head in order to create their piece of art work. Select media that suits you – I have found pencils, fine liners and watercolour paints work well for this activity. Cut out and mount the finished pieces with their titles for a quirky and humorous display!
