Frame It 4

Like the other Frame It activities, this is a quick and easy activity that can help connect pupils to the photographic ideas at the heart of the Tate Year 3 Project. It can be done on its own, or all Frame It activities can be grouped together to create a deeper exploration of how each of us ‘sees’ the world around us. Without the variation (see next page), this activity will take 20-30 minutes.

Learning outcomes

  • I can explore perspective, observation and identity

  • I can think about how everyone can see the same thing differently
