Welcome to Goodwill Art

Plant Life

This set addresses the diverse ways in which artists, architects, designers and craftspeople are inspired by plants. Throughout history trees, flowers, fruit and seeds have engaged the human imagination, prompted travel, generated scientific research, provided food, medicine and beauty products. It will encourage pupils to enjoy art works, understand how they have been inspired and stimulate research for their own practical work.
