2S - Art: Lamps and Lanterns, Lesson 1

Lesson: Art and design

This week, we began our new Art topic, Lamps and Lanterns.

To begin with, we learned about the life of Florence Nightingale, how she changed nursing and improved the cleanliness in hospitals and why she was known as 'The Lady of the Lamp'.

We then studied lamps and lanterns from different points in History as well as from different cultures. We chose three pictures of lamps/lanterns, labelled them in terms of their colour, shape, size, materials and then sketched them on the topic title page of our Art sketchbooks.
