The Discovery Zone has a special activity areacalled Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds wherechildren can create their very own Beatlesinspired artwork.

This is linked directly to the movement in artknown as Pop Art. In the 50s and 60s there wasa revolution not just in music but in fashion andart as well. Pop Art began in the late 50s andencapsulated everyday objects in an artistic way.At the same time advertising was becoming an

art form in itself. Pop Art took it one step furtherand enhanced the artistic elements to becomemotifs which appeared over and over again.

In the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds area,children can learn about works of artists suchas Roy Lichtenstein (large comic strips), AndyWarhol (soup tins, dollar bill and celebrities ofthe time), Robert Indiana (advertising signs),David Hockney (swimming pools) and the workof sculptor Claes Oldenburg (fast food).

Looking at John Lennons work and being givenspecific art terms and what they mean, childrencan then describe Lennons work and then

develop and create their own piece of work inhis style. The children can use the DiscoveryZone art space to build upon their literacy skillsthrough the use of specific art vocabulary.They will also gain confidence in working withothers and communication skills.

The learners are then able to make links withwhat is happening on the art scene at the sametime as the rise of the Beatles and gain some

knowledge of art history.

POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIALINFLUENCES 1940-1950: ACHRONOLOGICAL TIME LINE OF EVENTS

The Beatles were all born during the SecondWorld War.

Ringo Starr ........................................ 7th July 1940John Lennon ............................... 9th October 1940Paul McCartney ..............................18th June 1942George Harrison ......................25th February 1943

The Second World War

The Second World War began in September1939. In 1940 and 1941 Liverpool sufferedhundreds of raids by German bombers. Thisbecame known as the Blitz, which is short forBlitzkrieg (lightening war).

Liverpool was heavily targeted as it was a majorshipping port and naval base. It was also hometo the Western Approaches Command, a strategicbase for planning the Battle of the Atlantic. AfterLondon, Liverpool was the worst hit area in the

country.

EvacuationIn the summer of 1939, from the day thatGermany invaded Poland, more than 1.5 millionwomen and children from Britains cities andports were evacuated to stay with families livingin the safer countryside areas.

RationingRationing was introduced in January 1940 asthe war had caused a shortage of suppliers,especially food. When the war ended in1945 people looked forward to a better life butthings did not improve immediately.

The war had been very expensive for theGovernment to fund and there was terrible

bomb damage all over the country. Britainhad borrowed millions of pounds for food andmaterials and now owed huge amounts ofmoney to the USA. Rationing continued longafter the war was over and by 1948 rations werelower than they had been during the war.

Food rationing finally came to an end in 1954,9 years after the Second World War had ended.

Post-War Reconstruction

One of the first important changes after thewar was a change of Government. The all-partyCoalition Government led by Winston Churchillwas swept aside in the 1945 General Election.The Labour Party was voted into power witha policy of social and economic reconstruction.Ordinary people were once again optimisticafter the dark days of the Second World War.

POLITICAL, ECONOMIC ANDSOCIAL INFLUENCES1940 - 1950: LOCAL STUDY

The Welfare StateIn 1942 a civil servant called William Beveragewrote a report about poverty in which he saidBritain faced 5 giant evils:

DISEASE There was no free medical treatment.Many people could not afford to see a Doctor ifthey were ill.

WANT Many people were poor often throughillness or unemployment.

IGNORANCE Most children left school at orbefore the age of 14.

SQUALOR There was not enough councilhousing available and many people were livingin slum conditions without running water.

IDLENESS At least 10% of the workforcebefore the war had been unemployed.

Beverage believed that it was the Governmentsresponsibility to help people from the cradle tothe grave. His report became the basis of someof Britains most important post-war legislation.

Between 1944 and 1951 the Welfare Statebegan, introducing free medical treatment

for all, raising the school leaving age to 15,family allowance, unemployment benefits andimproved pensions for the elderly.

HousingAfter the war there was an acute shortage ofhouses as thousands had been made homelessby the bombings.

By the 1950s new housing estates were beingbuilt on the outskirts of Liverpool in Kirkby,Maghull, Huyton and Speke. It was an exciting

time as many people looked forward to living inmodern houses on bright new estates.

The Role of WomenDuring the war many women took on jobs thatpreviously had been considered mens work.They became bus conductors, railway workers,welders, joined the Armed Forces, worked infactories or did useful war work.

When the war ended many returned to theirlives as housewives or mothers. It was not untilthe 1960s that women began to change theirrole within the family and seek employment.

1950 1960YOU NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD!:A SIGNIFICANT TURNING POINT INBRITISH HISTORYThe 1950s was a prosperous time for mostpeople. Changes in the workplace andmechanisation in industry meant that peopleworked fewer hours than they had done in theprevious decade. For most there was a 5 dayweek, an 8 hour day and 2 weeks paid holiday

each year. Wages had increased and there wereplenty of jobs.

New, mass produced goods flooded themarket. Washing machines and fridges becamecommonplace creating more leisure time forhousewives. Many people were able to afford anannual holiday usually to a British resort. Populardestinations for Liverpudlians were Colwyn Bay,Rhyl and Llandudno.

Rationing had come to an end in 1954 andpeople were now able to buy the luxuries theyhad missed. People were healthier; food wasbetter and more plentiful than it had been in thewar years. The implementation of the NationalHealth Service not only provided free medicaland dental care for all, it initiated a vaccinationprogramme against childhood illnesses.

In 1959 the Conservative Prime Minister, HaroldMacmillan, told the British people youve neverhad it so good.

TeenagersUntil the 1950s many young people, or youths

as they were called, left school at 14 or 15 andwent into the adult workplace on low wagesand long apprenticeships. The prosperity ofthe 1950s meant that young people had moremoney to spend. Film, television, magazines andRock and Roll music turned youths into a newforce called teenagers.

Soon teenagers had their own fashion, musicand language. Fashions were always changing.Those who were in fashion were with it or

cool. Those who did not fit in were squares.A generation gap began to grow betweenparents and their teenage children.


16/45


1950 1960YOU NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD!

Teddy BoysTeddy Boys first appeared in the early 1950s andthey were easily recognisable in their drape orknee-length jacket with velvet collar and cuffs.They wore drainpipe trousers, brocadewaistcoats, shoe-string ties, bright socks andthick soled suede shoes. Their hair was greasedand styled into a large quiff and they grew longsideburns.

The Teddy Boy look was seen to be a rejection ofthe functional suits of the 1940s and the revivalof the elegant suits of the Edwardian era (1901-1910). Teddy Boy clothes were not cheap andwere often made to measure. One outfit mightcost anything between 1 and 3 months wages.A new suit indicated to peers just how well anindividual was doing money-wise.

The Teddy Boy uniform gave them groupidentity. They often formed into gangs and fights

broke out between rival groups. Teddy Boysfollowed Rock and Roll music. Artists such as BillHayley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Jerry LeeLewis, Chuck Berry, Tommy Steele, Cliff Richard,Billy Fury and Marty Wilde became their idols.Photographs of John Lennon at this time showhim dressed in a Teddy Boy outfit.

Mods and RockersLots of Teddy Boys rode motorbikes in the 1950s.

The Rocker style was born from those whowore leather on their bikes. Mods on the otherhand spent money on stylish clothes. Unlike theRockers they travelled on scooters covered withbadges, pennants and lamps. Many wore khakiparkas when travelling on their scooters. Theylistened to the music of The Who, The SmallFaces and The Kinks.

On Bank Holidays Mods and Rockers often

descended upon seaside resorts and foughtpitched battles. In 1964 there were major

incidents along the south coast of Englandat Brighton and Hastings.

1960 FashionsBy 1964 London had become the fashion capitalof the world. New, synthetic materials werebeing used. PVC was used for coats and dresses.Mini skirts were created and became shorter andshorter which shocked many older people.Girls began wearing tights rather than stockings.

Men began wearing brightly coloured clothesand allowed their hair to grow long. Wide kipperties became fashionable.

Ban the BombYoung people became more politically aware.The 1960s was an exciting time for teenagerswho were optimistic that they could changethe world and make it a better place. Manyuniversities and colleges were built or extendedduring the 1960s and the student population

increased considerably. The 1960s saw thebeginning of student demonstrations throughoutthe world. University students joined protestsabout apartheid in South Africa, the nuclearbomb and the Vietnam war.

The Beatles were part of this change. John wasperhaps the most outspoken of the 4 Beatlesand in the lyrics of his songs he called for socialand political change.

INFLUENCES ON POPULARMUSIC OF THE 1960S

Popular music is constantly changing to meetthe demands of an ever younger market.However, in the 1940s the musical choiceswere determined by the entertainment industrythat was run by an older generation. The musicenjoyed by the Beatles and their contemporarieswas the music of their parents, songs fromHollywood musicals, music from variety showsand music halls, ballads, big band sounds andnovelty songs.

RadioIn the early 1950s young people could onlylisten to what their parents were tuning in to. Onthe radio, a show called Family Favourites playedthe standard classics of Gershwin, Rogers andHart and Cole Porter. The Workers Playtime showwould play catchy songs by Mitch Miller and RayConniff. On Housewifes Choice the whole familywould sit around the radio and listen to DannyKaye, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and of course,

the favourite of the Armed Forces, Vera Lynn andGracie Fields.

Radio LuxemburgMusic was not only played on the BBC but onRadio Luxemburg too. Young people tuned inlate in the evening once their parents had goneto bed. Teenagers were beginning to developtheir own tastes in music and would listen tothe American music played by Radio Luxemburg.

Performers like Buddy Holly, Little Richard, ElvisPresley and Jerry Lee Lewis had an enormousinfluence on teenagers in the mid 1950s, whichencouraged them to form groups of their own.

Radio CarolineBy the 1960s more and more talented younggroups who had been influenced by Americanmusic began to develop a sound all of their own.However, it was not always easy to get their

music heard on the airwaves or by recordcompanies.

Along came Ronan ORahilly, a youngentrepreneur, who after managing emergingpop groups and creating his own Indie recordlabel realised the way forward was to havehis own radio station to play the music of theteenager. He researched other radio stationswho were operating off-shore on ships sailingin international waters. He purchased his ownvessel, converted it into a suitable studio andnamed her Radio Caroline after President

Kennedys daughter.

On Easter Monday in 1964, presenters ChrisMoore and Simon Dee announced This is RadioCaroline, your all day music station and UK radiochanged forever. Now the teenager could listento pop music all day long without interruptions,speeches, lectures, gardening tips, cookingsuggestions or adult discussions. As a resultRadio Caroline had more listeners than the 3 BBCnetworks combined. The teenager had not only

changed the sound of music but also how it wasbroadcast.


18/45


INFLUENCES ONPOPULAR MUSIC OF THE 1960S

CinemaCinema was dominated by American movies,Westerns and thigh slapping cowboys andcowgirls singing into the sunset. Musicals likeSouth Pacific with amazing choreography andwitty songs provided escapism for those living inthe aftermath of the war. Cinema goers wouldcome out of the shows singing and whistlingthe soundtracks all the way home. British filmsfocused on flying heroes, great escapes and the

music was serious and atmospheric.

TelevisionAs TV sets became more affordable and a popularaddition to the home, the shows they screenedbegan to influence musical tastes. Programmeswere mainly aimed at adult audiences, includingthe popular Saturday night variety show whichfeatured many big bands. Artists such as JoeLoss, Victor Sylvester, Billy Cotton and Ted Heathenjoyed many years of fame and fortune due to

their television appearances.

Stars also travelled from America to appear onthe Saturday night shows. This was the firstopportunity for Ella Fitzgerald, Frankie Lane,Johnny Ray and Les Paul who pioneered theelectric guitar. They sang familiar ballads, gentlejazz and the occasional up-beat song to exciteviewers.

AmericaAfter the Second World War many young mentook jobs with the large ocean liners. The WhiteStar Shipping Line sailed from Liverpool andcarried passengers between Britain and America.The young men worked as cabin crew or waitersand would spend their free time in Americannightclubs and bars. The new music they heardwas exciting and reflected their thoughts andfeelings at the time. They would buy the records

and introduce them to their friends and familiesat home to enjoy.

SkiffleLonnie Donegan was a guitarist in Chris BarbersJazz Band. He recorded Rock Island Line whichbecame and enormous hit. His brand of musicwas known as Skiffle and was easily replicatedon a wash-board and a double bass made froma broom stick and tea chest. These makeshiftinstruments enabled young groups to setthemselves up without the high cost of buyingguitars. Skiffle groups started performing in

church halls and youth clubs around the country.This style of pop music became the first musicculture for young people on a mass scale.

Many pop groups sprang up in the 1950s withhandsome young men as lead singers such asCliff Richard and the Drifters, Tommy Steele andthe Steelemen and Adam Faith. Although theywere popular in Britain, it was American popmusic making the biggest impact.

It was not until the Beatles got their act togetherdid British pop explode across the country,catapulting the Beatles to global and everlastingfame. Over the past 50 years the Beatles havehad over 50 number 1 hits, all around the world.

SUGGESTED CLASSROOM ACTIVITIESIDEAS FOR ART

In the 1950s and 1960s there was a revolutionin music, fashion and art. The Pop Art movementbegan in the late 1950s drawing on everydaysubject matter and investing them with acommercial element. At the time Pop Art wasborn, advertising had become an art formin itself. Pop Art took it one step further andenhanced the artistic elements to become motifswhich appeared over and over again.

Activity 1:

Some of the greatest exponents of thismovement were Roy Lichtenstein (large comicstrips), Andy Warhol (soup tins, dollar billsand celebrities of the time), Robert Indiana(advertising signs), David Hockney (swimmingpools) and sculptor Claes Odenburg (fast food).Collage was a popular medium, perfected byartists like Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton.It was Hamiliton who famously describedPop Art as being: Popular, transient, expendable,

low-cost, mass-produced, young, witty,gimmicky, glamorous and big business.

Activity 2:

size Scissors, glue, magazines and other materials

suitable for collage

Ask the class to collect celebrity images fromthe 1950s and 1960s, present day icons andphotographs of the children.
