An opportunity to see some of the programmes which BBC Television provides for schools throughout the year. Today's programmes are two examples from a series planned for sixth forms of grammar schools and which aim to provide a common experience for both science and arts specialists.
12.5 For Sixth Forms: Science Serves the Arts: Revealing the Past
The art of the historian is based on analysing the evidence from manuscripts, relics, and archaeological sites. Science plays a part in this analysis and recently many new techniques have become available. Brian Hope-Taylor chooses the Anglo-Saxon period to illustrate some of them.

12.30 For Sixth Forms: Cubism and After: A Sum of Destructions
Written by David Sylvester and Michael Gill.
Modern art can be seen as the destroyer of many accepted conventions in painting and sculpture. No single artist has played a greater part in the artistic revolution than Pablo Picasso, who in 1907 painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, generally considered the key work in the development of Cubism, the most influential movement in modern art.
