This project can be used for the AQA GCSE Fine Art "Human Being " exam unit.

This is a project I delivered a couple of years ago to my BTEC L3 Art and Design students. I was inspired to create and deliver a project that empowered my students and gave them the opportunity to create their own visual narratives on a theme that is sensitive to most (especially young people), and extremely relevant today - Body Image. This brief is suitable for, and links to the AQA Fine Art “Human Beings” title.

This is a project that requires the teacher to be sensitive to young people’s views, thoughts and personal experiences. I would recommend that you deliver this knowing you have good relationships with your students and that you are open to tackling difficult topics with care.

This resource is a great way to help you get started with the theme if you are stuck for ideas.

• Body Image project brief - powerpoint. Including artists to research, social, economic, cultural and political links, historical and current day views on the theme, and exemplar work by past students.
• Visual mindmap, a questionnaire for students to start considering their own personal views on body image- pdf.
