This short video by Banksy is a great addition to Shine Bright 2de SnapFile 8 Will you get Banksy-ed?. Like the prank studied in the file, when a Banksy work that had just been sold at auction disappeared into a shredder at the bottom of the frame, it questions the art market and what is considered "art". It was the street-artist's reaction to not being invited to the Venice Biennale, but also a comment on the large cruise ships that dominate the picturesque city and pollute its lagoon in the name of "cultural" tourism.
We've designed this resource to be "distance-learning friendly". The worksheet on analysing the video and expressing opinions can be done by pupils at home. You may need to keep the oral interaction and film-shot analysis suggestions for when schools open again.
