Research learning materials for children and design three sample pages for an alphabet book to be used by children with impaired vision. Your designs should exploit imagery in relief and/or have a tactile quality. 2 The Bauhaus Founded in Germany in 1919, the Bauhaus school of art introduced radical ideas which still influence many aspects of contemporary design. Bauhaus designers developed a distinctive typographic style characterised by the use of sans serif typefaces, over-sized numerals, and horizontal and vertical rules (bars). Look at examples of Bauhaus typography and from your studies design promotional material or inventive packaging for a Bauhaus-style tubular chair called Breuer-Metall 25. 3 Illustration Figures of speech are often used for emphasis and can suggest powerful, amusing or disturbing visual images. Choose a figure of speech, such as hes got eyes in the back of his head, which could be used for the title of a new book. Look at relevant examples of book illustration and produce your own work that would be suitable for the cover of the book.3 G/H150493/Jun06/3203/T 4 North Africa The rich colours and patterns of North Africa have been inspirational to many artists, including Henri Matisse and Wyndham Lewis.
