An art project based around Iron Age Torc designs. The slides take the student on a journey looking at the designs of torcs from the Snettisham Hoard, found in Norfolk.

A great way to link history and art and develop an appreciation of prehistoric artistic skills. Please be aware that the slides have been created in microsoft 365. If you are using a previous version of powerpoint you may not be able to see the fonts properly but the information and images will be on the slides, you might just need to rearrange a little.
