V&A Virtual Classroom: Secondary - 20th Century Design (Autumn 2021)

This virtual session delivered by a designer-educator will allow students to explore key 20th century design movements: Art Deco, Modernism and Postmodernism and develop research and visual literacy skills.

Suitable for KS3, 4 & 5, students will analyse, document and interpret 20th Century design objects from the Museum’s collection. Students will be encouraged to work outside their comfort zone and allow spontaneity to play a part in the drawing process. The activities are a form of ideas generation, encouraging the students to view their sketchbooks as a place to experiment and develop individual designs.

Available: Selected Fridays
Timing: 60 minutes
Cost: £50
Capacity: 1 class per session (maximum 25 students)
Online: hosted on Zoom
Suitable for KS3 & 4 Art & Design and Design & Technology

V&A Virtual Classroom sessions are only open to UK schools. International schools can sign up to our e-newsletter for more information on upcoming programmes. Regrettably we will have to cancel any sessions that have been booked by non-UK schools and the sessions will be made available online for other schools to book.

As we have a limited number of sessions and would like to give as many schools as possible an opportunity to engage in our virtual programme, we request that you book a maximum of two sessions per term for Primary or Secondary. Regrettably, any sessions booked above the maximum number will have to be cancelled and the sessions will be made available online for other schools to book.
