Eileen Cooper

Aims

Students should gain an understanding of:

  • How paintings can often be used to tell a story. (Narrative is a rich element in art – from religious paintings to contemporary comic strip or video and film.)
  • How paintings can be used to express feelings and moods.
  • How colours and shapes are often used symbolically and in an abstract way.
