How do you debate the value of art with students? Why is one painting worth millions and another only a few hundred pounds? What different factors influence price? What is blue-chip art? During this lesson, students will debate their initial thoughts, be introduced to a range of factors which influence price, learn about interesting artworks that have achieved ridiculous prices, and then, using this knowledge, debate the value of a range of artworks. This download includes:
