What is it?

4. What do anarchists protest about?
5. Look at the Cinderella crash artwork (the ‘paparazzi’ photographers are plastic models) – what do you think the artist was trying to say/ protest about? Why?
A. That Disneyland is too expensive to get into
B. That normal theme parks are boring

D. That princess carriages should be safer

-War
- Death

-Depressing


What is the role of art in encouraging us to think in different ways about society?

One way art can help people to think differently about society is by doing art work with a meaning like banksy. For example Banksy made a model of a crashed Cinderella carriage to represent princess Diana. Because of this society have wandered why media always want the money instead of trying to help people. Therefore this helps society think differently on media.

London 2012 Olympics

What do they do? - gymnast, swimmer, long jumper and heptathlon 

Who are they? - Olympic athletes  

Where are they? - A photo shoot promoting the new kit 

What are there names? - Jessica Ennis, Ellie simmonds, Louis Smith and 


What did the London Olympics promise to do?
- Inspire more young people into sport
What has actually happened since the Olympic games?
- number of 16 to 25-year-olds playing sport has gone down since the Games.
Why is this a concern?
-Amid heightened concern over a long-term increase in childhood obesity and the public-health 
implications of increasingly sedentary lifestyles
Name 2 positive impacts of the Olympic games.
- growth was being driven by an increase in informal exercise such as running, cycling
 and going to the gym.
more than two million adults were now riding bikes at least once a week. 
How many more disabled people are playing sport at least once a week now?

What does BME stand for?

What is the UK's 'hidden killer'?
The World Athletics Championships is a second chance to do what?

To what extent do you agree that the London Olympics was successful in encouraging more people to do sport?

I agree that the London Olympics was successful and encouraging because the number of people who are involved in cycling involved "more than two million adults were now riding bikes at least once a week" This is showing that now after the Olympics in some sports like cycling there are more people involved and keeping active. Because of this I think it has been successful and encouraging for people to take part in sport. However in some sports the number of people involved has decreased since the London Olympics like football. This is one reason I think that the London Olympics has been successful for people getting involved and taking part in sport.

Otto Dix 
- Depressing 
- Death 
- Dark 

What is the role of art in commemorating the war?

I think art can commemorate the war is a dark and emotional way because as shown in the art work of 'blood swept lands' there was a commemoration of all the solders who lost their lives fighting for us. There was 888,246 poppies created to represent all the solders who died. Therefore it gave off a emotional feeling of how many people actually died fighting for us.
