Publisher's Synopsis
This book is intended for both teacher and student and meets the new emphasis of the GCSE Art and Design syllabus. It gives a broad context to practical work through observation, thinking and appreciation of the culture and movements which make up the worlds of art and design.;"Art Work" arose from the BBC television series of the same name, first transmitted in Spring 1989. The book is divided into six sections - going about it, seeing and believing, design for living, imagination, where do we go from here and research. These sections correspond with some of the major concerns of artists and designers. This work aims to bring a methodical approach to all aspects of practical work, including drawing, painting, communication graphics, textile design, photography, sculpture, historical study and multi-cultural art.;The book contains case studies examining the approach of young, professional artists and designers and offers ideas for coursework projects or research. Students are directed beyond the classroom to museums, galleries and the environment at large. The book will be a useful resource for teachers especially those who are unfamiliar or new to the teaching of art and design, and teacher's notes are also available from the BBC to accompany the television series of the same name.
