Short video clip (1 min.) with commentary on one of Boticelli's best-known paintings. Rather sad-sounding music is used in soundtrack.
KS3/4 idea: The sad-sounding music has been chosen to reinforce the messages in the commentary. But just suppose the commentary was about youth and beauty. Can pupils compose or improvise an alternative soundtrack that would reinforce that different message? Turn down the existing soundtrack and play your new one along with the clip to judge it's success.
