Reading

Read these four stories from First News and answer the questions.

Art: Banksy

Banksy is one of my favourite artists because I like the graffiti style and I like the fact that he makes a statement about current issues in society through his art work. He is also controversial and not everybody approves of his street art.

Task: read this information about Bansky and answer the questions on each page. Then, design your own piece of artwork in the style of Banksy on this sheet or on a piece of paper at home.

I would really like it if you could email me your drawings, so I can see your ideas.
