Art in Motion

Cross-curricula at KS2

Concentrating on the works by Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini and Umberto Boccioni learners will have the chance to discover the various approaches that these artists employed to illustrate visually continuous movement.

The discussion will assist pupils to think of the range of approaches used by the different artists with a particular focus on Divisionist’s short, uniform brush strokes of pure complementary colours and the fractured spaces, repetitive images and swirling patterns in Futurist studies. Students will then create their own flip book, making drawings based on works from the permanent collection. They will learn how to combine images in order to portray movement.
