A lesson designed to help children understand and appreciate digital art, with a focus on digital painting. The lesson begins with a short video from artist Michael Noll, giving a short history on digital art. The children then get to play a guessing game to see if they can guess whether the artwork was created using paint or a computer. It then allows the children to study the work of famous artist Piet Mondrian, giving them the chance to create their own digital artwork, using paint. It ends by exploring career options within this sector, with useful videos from real-life digital artists, discussing their careers and the journeys they had getting there. This lesson covers multiple cross-curricular aims, including: Computing, Art, History and Careers. We advise for the lesson to be completed over an hour and a half, for example during an afternoon.
