Grade 11 & 12 Term 3 Theme

Theme: Nursery Story

This is a theme based on children's stories and nursery rhymes which you will interpret to carry an underlying message.  The term children's stories refers to nursery rhymes, fairy-tales and legends.  Stay away from Disney and cartoon network animations and stick to the more traditional, storybook ancient stories.  See your teacher for clarification of your topic/fairytale choice if you are still unsure.

Task 1:

Research one of the following artists 

Research Rosemarie Marriott or Bronwen Vaughan-Evans 

create an infographic on one or two of their works.

  • Find out from the website what this sculpture/painting is about - its meaning & the symbolism of the images.
  • Explain the effect of the materials & techniques on this meaning.
  • How could the arrangement of the individual pieces affect the meaning?
  • What mood / emotion do you get from this work?
  • Compare the two levels of meaning. i.e. for the child and for the adult.
