A powerpoint outlining some tasks for a Key Stage 3 project on Tim Burton. In this project there are a number of skills, pencil drawingwith pen work, chalk and charcoal drawing on black paper, making a black and white silhouette cut out, collaging harcoal drawing onto bottle and painting bottle, further developing a character on a bottle and making a wool paper character. This also has a few quizzes and student examples of work to support the tasks. Starting with presenting a title page for Tim Burton and copying some of his scenes by practising pencil tone and mark making. Layering pencil and black pen in drawing when copying Burton’s work Photocopy examples for students to work from to print off. Then developing a cut out in black paper looking at the strange, Gothic type black and white silhouettes of some of his scenes and making a page on his settings using black paper and cut-outs. The slides give a number of the silhouette type scenes for students to use for inspiration. Further developing a character drawing and students are to look at the number of different slides and these could be printed off for students and letting them develop their own character. Some of the You tube film clips are linked on the slides as well. Students draw out the character and then colour this in. Tim Burton’s scenes are often dark and atmospheric and this is an ideal opportunity to practise drawing with white chalk, charcoal or black soft pastel on black sugar paper and to do a drawing of one of his black and white characters. There are some examples to use to copy from to support the students learning. This black and white scene can further be photocopied and collaged onto a bottle. There is also an extension task to make a head on a wine bottle in paper-mache and lots of inspirational examples of student work Another fun task is to play with wool and paper and to make a rolled animal using newspaper in rolls and then wrapping wool around this and to bend into shape. This can further be embellished by adding bits and bobs like buttons, braid and other decorative details to develop a character type animal which has been inspired by Burton. There are a few quizzes and homework tasks as well.

Students given examplesof nature pictures and to create a repeat pattern from a pencil drawing of these pictures Pictures of nature for students to draw from and then how to make a repeat unit from this drawing Showing how to make a mirror repeat, half-drop repeat, straight repeat and diagonal repeat. Resources needed: Tracing paper, pencils, calico fabric cut in squares, ink rollers, waterproof inks, Step by step breakdown of design and printing processes Guidelines on how to use polyprint. Students make a repeat pattern on fabric and then sew this into a cushion There are lots of student examples to support Examples of student work Success Criteria Simplifying drawing into a line pattern and making a repeat unit, Choosing a colour combination for repeat unit and drawing out the unit on fabric Carefully rolling out the colours and layering the print from light to dark. Strong contrasts of colour Careful accurate layering of colours.

Students will create their own open window painting after been inspired by Henri Matisse Students to write about Henri Matisse 'The open window ’ and understand what is Fauvism Easy student examples - outcomes of watercolour designs Clear step by step drawing of the windowdesigns and students left to add in own detail to make it more interesting Students gain confidence in drawing using the simplified shapes of Fauvism and practise watercolour techniques

This is lesson 4 in the portrait project. Students firstly do a pencil shading of their face using the grid technique and learn how to draw different parts of the face carefully. Secondly students do a monoprint and this is in lesson 2 portrait project and they use their photograph to trace off into the ink to make the monopring. Thirdly students then collage into the monoprint and use Paolozzi as an artist and collage into the monoprint. In this powerpoint the student use one of their photographs and draw into the photocopy. Students look at the artist Chila Burman and look at the way she interprets her Asian and British identity. Students need to think about their own identity and the way they are going to collage into their own photo-copy. Students use felt tips and draw into the photocopies making patterns and try to interpret cultural patterns in bright colours. Your Learning Objective was: To study an example of CHILA BURMAN n your book and describe what you see Students to find out about CHILA BURMAN and begin to understand her Asian and British identity. Students to use their photograph and develop the bright colours and cultural identity in the portrait. To use cultural patterns and to create a self identity photo portrait. SUCCESS CRITERIA Cultural awareness of our differences Understanding of different styles and using digital photography creatively with patterns Appreciation of own patterns and self-identity Collaging: Photographs of everyday items, patterns, favourite clothes, magazine text, Newspaper highlights, paint textures and close up of photos of household items: objects that show own culture and self-identity

This is a lesson for year 7 who are learning to shade and to create a 3D form. This is the start of a Scheme of work (Powerpoint one) where students draw a pebble and then eventually make a tile in the shape of their pebble and design a relief surface based on Hundertwasser. There are three powerpoints on Tes in a bundle linked to this unit of work or you can use it as a drawing exercise to learn to shade 3D forms. This is a short example showing different steps to get a 3D sphere form and using tonal values to develop this form. There are exercises on markmaking and how to create a tonal value. There are the main breakdown of what is needed in a sphere in tones: Light, light grey, middle grey, dark grey and black with reflected light. There are examples of showing how to shade in the direction of the form. Learning Objective was: To create a presentation on an A3 sheet of your observation drawing studies showing volume drawing of pebble To learn to draw 3D geometric shapes and firstly practise mark making and a range of tones in media: charcoal. To develop observational drawing techniques. This follows with Powerpoint Two and Three where students then begin to : Present preparatory work on a page and to plan a design for clay tile. Develop painting style like Hundertwasser (study the style of this artist) and use watercolours and understand what is a style in Art. To complete a clay tile and paint design on tile.

The powerpoint consists of the following: Students will learn about Wassily Kandinsky and his abstract Art and be able to make their own version of Kandinsky while listening to four pieces of music. Task 1: Describing artwork tasks (slide2) Task 2: Answer questions on Kandinsky (slide 3) Task 3: Listening to music and interpreting this (slide 4) Divide your paper into 4 blocks as seen in the example and in your blocks you need to draw what you interpret while listening to the four pieces of music. Listen to the You Tube tracks of music - one at a time. While listening to the music in each block while you listen to the music you need to draw what the music makes you feel. (Copy the http address into search to hear music) That is, you need to Interpret the music by drawing shapes, colours, textures, lines, forms, images and what you feel the music represents.

This is a very successful drawing lesson to build confidence with drawing. It can be used at any level as skills are on invaluable. It can be stretched over two lessons. I have a shoe box of little ornaments wrapped in fabric and tied up with tape that I use for this lesson and over the years this is one of my favourite lessons. I finally tried to make a powerpoint and hope you enjoy ! There is a drawing starter exercise Then the fun begins Objectives To explore observational drawing techniques: blind drawing and contour drawing To investigate how to capture techniques (markmaking) when drawing To build confidence in capturing a form with line by using different styles when drawing: gestural drawing and pattern drawing To develop a design from observational details There are 17 drawings to make … and each slide gives you the instruction and an example of drawing Resources A3 cartridge sharp 2B pencil small objects to draw wrapped to start oil pastel each Fine-liner each ruler pencil rayons small bit of tracing paper cut in squares ( size of unit for repeat) starting with the following . TOUCH DRAWING Draw through TOUCH ONLY Feel the object under a cloth draw the object – and try to imagine the shape, texture, and form Try to draw and outline only. 2 minutes BLIND DRAWING Draw with CONTINUOUS LINE and BLINDLY 3 min Draw the object and draw blindly. DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR PAPER as you draw. Instead imagine your pencil as a contour ( an ant crawling on the object) exploring all the edges, outlines, shapes, textures and details of the object. 2 minutes… Follow the slides There are pictures of student examples. Success criteria The line and markmaking quality is MORE important than accuracy This gives students a realisation that drawing is about lines and marks.

This is a key stage 3 project where students do a polyprint on fabric using printing inks. This is a short 6 week project but could be developed to incorporate embellishments and sewing skills to fabric. I did this with year 8 and it took 6 weeks. Student enjoyed the outcome and it could have been made into a cushion for each student but we made a class fabric wall hanging. (There is a second Powerpoint in a Bundle which has all the pictures used for students to work from - A-Z of nature pictures) Artists used: Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel Resources required Polyprint blocks Printing ink Rollers Tables to roll out on Fabric square per child Paper for test prints Research sheet for drawings and artist research. Project schedule 6 weeks The resources for the students to work from. Each student chooses what they would like to draw. The steps to take while making the print and examples of student’s outcome. Students begin by researching Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel and make up a sheet with these two artists and their drawings. The drawings they do of one of the pictures of the slide pictures of animals and bits of nature from A-Z. Students choose which animal or fish or plant they would like to draw. Students spend time doing a detailed drawing and design a border pattern for this work in black and white. Success criteria of drawings To use fine lines and to capture quality detail To concentrate on negative and positive shapes To develop a border pattern from nature around the drawing To try to layer up your drawing with foreground and background shapes The students drawings are then photo-copied and transferred to the polyprint block. Students use the photocopy to press through onto polyboard. The students are given a square and a strip of polyprintboard . Students first of all experiment printing on paper with their design and border. Students can do a black and white print or do a polyprint print of two colours overlaying their inks. The slide presentation gives you also opportunities for reflection and evaluation of outcome at the end. I have presented my artists in my book I have compared the works of 2 nature artists I have written a short paragraph on the style of artists I have a careful line drawing of my subject I have created my own artwork based on my research of subject colour I have a plan for my print design and have written about relief printing I have tested working with polyprints Student outcome is a wall-hanging and we sewed all the students outcomes together to make a fabric collage of squares.

An visual reference to architectural features with reference to Classical Greek and Roman architectural features in Artworks, various building ornaments and different buildings. There are lots of artists who have use classical architecture in their own art. Also lots of examples of artists and reference to examples of John Piper and his paintings on classical architecture and students could develop their watercolour techniques copying this artist. But there are a number of different artists to use to inspire students to develop their own technique. Also, developing the style of John Piper in different techniques: for eg. wax painting, water-colour techniques. **The resource includes: ** Examples of architectural artists Examples of a student work collages of architecture Examples of student work of combining buildings into a collage Resource sheets of architectural photographs of churches to use for studies Resource sheets of different buildings ornamentations to use in collage . **Learning Objectives ** To develop a Classical Greek and Roman element in one’s work of art at KS3, KS 4 - GCSE Art and A-level Art To study various examples of how artists have used these classical architectural elements in their works of Art A look at various contemporary artists and how they have used the Classical elements and architectural features To develop a collage combining photographs, painting and pen work. Choose one of the artists and copy their style and collect examples of their work to use in your collage. Take photographs of buildings in your local environment and use this in your collage.

A detailed project looking at developing a Still-life project looking at composition, rule of thirds, different techniques for each object with different art styles. Students firstly, study what is a Still-life and write up a definition for this. Students then look at what different styles in Art before Modern Art. Students look in detail at Dutch Still life and the Vanitas still-life. There is also some information on the Post Impressionist artist Paul Cezanne and his style of brushwork. A focus on what is still life?, then looking at Pop Art and what is pop Art? Students then answer questions on two Pop Artists: Michael Craig Martin and Patrick Caulfield. Students practise making a background on Pop Art in their sketchbook and answer the questions. Students develop their own Still-life and are told to bring in objects for their Surreal mixed media Still-life and their are examples of this. Students learn to compose a layout for their still-life final using a Viewfinder and the rules of third, Fibonnacci rule to help them construct a composition. Students develop their own Still-life and are told to bring in objects for their final arrangement. The emphasis is then to take them through different techniques with each object they brought to class. The techniques included in the project are: Wax and Scratch, Paper collage, Pop Art hard edge colours and outlines, Palette knife painting, Pencil shading and Pen drawing. There are finally student examples of final outcomes for this project to support the outcome.
