Inspirational art and design resource:
Sacred Art: stone and glass – the work of Bodley and Kempe
Sacred Art: stone and glass – the work of Bodley and Kempe is an exciting new primary age learning CD-ROM which uses Victorian churches as a starting point to inspire curriculum-based work in art and design.
Brimming with a wealth of stimulating imagery, this practical teaching resource also links with RE and the Victorians at key stage 2. Compatible with an interactive whiteboard, the CD offers a wide range of QCA-style activity suggestions and readymade schemes of work as well as resources for teachers to create their own lesson plans.
Sacred Art will help teachers to make the most of a class visit to a local Victorian church, including the many fine examples in the care of the Trust.
Sacred Art was created by CCT to commemorate George Frederick Bodley and Charles Eamer Kempe, two key figures of the Gothic Revival, on the centenary of their deaths.
