Themes and Projects in Art and Design

This study provides students and teachers of art and design with a selection of themes for projects and ideas for development, which aim to emphasize the most significant aspects of the GCSE examination for Art and Design - active learning, resource-based learning and self-directed study. Project themes throughout the book have been selected to represent different aspects of the work undertaken by art and design departments. Examples combine practical work with theoretical and contextual studies which are designed to encourage the development of more independent learning on the part of the student. The areas of study listed under each project allow the the student to work at his or her own level and each is intended to be a basis for personal research and interpretation.
