Meaningful Objects

Art and Design at KS2

Focusing on still life compositions by Giorgio Morandi, this session explores how the artist arranges objects, uses colour, and selects techniques to construct narratives and evoke emotion. Students will be guided to observe how these artistic choices affect the viewer and contribute to the stories the works tell.

Following the discussion, pupils will take part in a hands-on activity, experimenting with their own still life compositions. Using a selection of everyday objects, they will create arrangements that tell a story, and then reproduce their compositions on paper through drawing or collage.
