Discovering retrofuturistic art themes
This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through an exploration of retrofuturistic artwork from the 1950s and 60s. The video encourages discussion around how the space race inspired artists and designers, helping learners analyse the purpose behind visual choices and identify recurring themes such as robotics and space travel.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). As the first lesson in the Making connections: Imagining the future unit, it introduces cultural and historical influences on artistic expression, fostering critical thinking and creative engagement.
