Rationale and context for the lesson This two-part lesson is part of a sequence of ten listed at the end of this plan. The sessions shown in detail here are lessons 2 and 3 in the sequence. They form part of the QCA scheme of work, unit 8a, Objects and viewpoints. In this unit pupils explore familiar objects from different viewpoints as the starting point for their work. The work is intended to develop pupils’ ability to analyse and talk about how artists can change the way in which we represent the world. The ICT element allows pupils to explore this by combining line drawings taken from different perspectives. Techniques such as fill and edit for manipulating graphics are used to enhance this exploration. The first lesson requires pupils to select artists’ work from a specific website, with the aim of helping them to analyse and talk about how artists use images to change the way the world is represented.

Pupils should be able to: ? search the Internet; ? select suitable images for clipping and saving; ? use a range of ICT tools in wordprocessing and image-manipulation programs. What ICT will the teacher need to be able to use? Teachers will need to be able to: ? search the Internet for pictures and information, using search engines; ? clip and save screen images, using tools in a paint program; ? import them into a wordprocessed document and save the document at regular intervals; ? use an image-manipulation program.
