Subject : Art & Design
Topic : Art history, Critical and contextual studies
Keywords : Charles Burton, Rhondda group, Representational art, Conceptual art
Notes : This clip can be used to develop an awareness of the emergence of groups of artists - of how these groups of art students discussed, argued and commented on each others work. Pupils could be arranged into groups to engage in their own critical discussion of either their own work or that of other artists, or pupils could discuss the merits of representational art versus conceptual art. Pupils could research other art movements and groups of highly motivated young artists who emerged in the 20th century.
