Flags
What do you see in this picture? What do you think it is about, what does it mean, why did someone create this art?
This image was created by Fliss who is an artist at Fledgling Education.
What do you notice about the patterns on the schools? Do you recognise any of the patterns?
Fliss used flags to make up the walls and windows in her schools.
What is a flag?
Why do you think she used flags to make the walls of her school?
Why didn't Fliss just use one flag?
Fliss says, "I live my life in colour and this image is a celebration of that spirit. Can we continue to accept difference for the strength that it brings? It doesn’t have to divide us. Can we carry on shaping a future where every colour and culture has a place?”
What does "Where every colour and culture has a place" mean?
Do you recognise any of the flags? (the flags are Pakistan, Poland, Russia, GB, Romania, India, Germany, China)
Does it matter which flags Fliss used?
Are flags important? What are flags used for today? (mention the lionesses wining the Women's World Cup over summer and which flags you saw then)
If we were going to make our own picture like this to represent our own school, which flags could we use?
How many flags should we include?
What do we want to show about our school? (use this blank template to create your own)
What do we say at our school about people from different countries?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British value is this about?
