The Whale

John M. Jacobus

"The third edition of Modern Art, now revised and expanded, narrates one of the great stories of our time - how European and American vanguard culture created modernist art by heeding the call "to make it new." Modern Art captures the sense of intellectual and aesthetic ferment through the close integration of its authoritative text and nearly nine hundred well-chosen illustrations. Right up through the present day, coverage ranges across a broad spectrum of visual arts, from painting, sculpture, and photography to conceptual forms, installation and video art, and architecture."--BOOK JACKET.

This is the story of one school's successful journey to a 'life after levels'. Together, the Headteacher and staff at one successful school took on the challenge: Where do we begin? What is the best assessment system for our school and our children? How do we make the most of assessment opportunities in the classroom? How do we create an assessment policy from scratch and implement it in the school? How do we evaluate it, re-shape it and talk about it to parents, the wider school community and our colleagues in primary education? Through exploring one school’s story, this text supports teachers and schools in a time of uncertainty, confusion and choice to make the most of the new opportunity to assess children without the restrictions of levels. "The removal of Levels has given all professionals involved in education a unique opportunity to rediscover what we value in this key aspect of teaching and learning...and it is an opportunity that we must grab with both hands. I want this book to provide a time for reflection for teachers and school leaders to re-adjust their thinking on assessment and to get excited about it." - Sam Hunter -

Francis Bacon is a painter whose reputation, legendary at the time of his death in 1992, continues to grow. Recent biographies, a movie based on his life, and now the announcement of recently discovered, until now unseen Bacon paintings, have all focused public attention on an artist generally regarded as among the greatest of the latter half of the 20th century. This deluxe publication, printed with the highest quality reproductions on premium paper, catalogues an exhibition at the Tony Shafrazzi Gallery in New York that many Bacon experts feel is among the most important ever -- in no small part because of the until now unseen works, which are included here for the first time.
