Introduction

QCA Art & Design Unit 1A :    Self-Portraits
(Link to: Standards Site)

There is currently one project available for Unit 1A. It was developed during 2003 in association with Stoke Damerel Primary School, Plymouth. Thanks are due to Angela Williams (Art & Design Co-ordinator), Anne Carroll (Maths Co-ordinator) and Michele Loaring for their interest and enthusiasm in the production of this project.



The activities developed with Stoke Damerel Primary School include sketching, painting and digital photography. Other projects may wish to broaden both the skills developed and medium used by the children.
