Narrative in Art


Next term in grade 7 students will be looking at Narrative in art.

In other words how art is used to tell stories or communicate information. We will look at a variety of artists including Raphael Abecassis a well known Jewish artist who uses his art to recount tales from the bible.

Students can check out some of his work and find more information on this artist by clicking on the links below.

the picture we see in grade 7 is very colorful and creative. The picture is a bit strange but very intersting in details.
