A sculptural project or life drawing project inspired by the famous British artist, the drawings of Henri Moore. Looking at the ink wash drawings of Henry Moore in detail his presentation shows loads of examples of the way he sketched his body shapes and looks at the way he simplified the bodies into organic shapes. This is a good presentation to show KS3 how to simplify and to distort drawings of different poses into organic shapes. This can be used for KS3 making abstract body sculptures and shows how to reduce, simplify, re-arrange and to distort drawings into a pleasing harmonious shape. It can also be used for A-level students doing life drawing and giving ways to explore different wax resist techniques with ink washes. There are loads of pictures of Henri Moore’s Drawings and hopefully will inspire outcomes and enable students to develop some confidence when drawing figures. This presentation can be bought with the Life drawing presentation.

Examples of paintings of different viewpoints of famous paintings from the Early Renaissance, to Max Beckmann and Anthony Green - looking at composition and different ways of looking at a subject.

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.

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.

There are various historical examples to show the early print works and how they developed. Also linking to projects for students to get ideas to develop their own work. Each printing technique has You Tube clips with specific tasks in the presentation. Student tasks - to write a definition for each style of print. Students to make a presentation in books. Heading in book Stick in your prints when they are totally dry What is … printing? What types of . _____are there? E.g additive, subtractive? Give an example a print artist. Describe your print process. Did you find it difficult or easy.? Do you like the quality of your printing? There is a detailed explanation of each of these three types of printing for students to copy and very informative to support printing techniques. Good for KS 3 but also at GCSE.

This is part of a set of HUNDERTWASSER POWERPOINTS. In this powerpoint the students use their design they made for their tiles and make a tile in clay in the style of Hundertwasser. In this powerpoint there are examples of how to roll and make the tile with key clay steps to follow and include in tile. There are student outcomes to look at while using key skills in making of a tile. Students paint these with acrylic paints and varnish with PVA glue or a Varnish gloss when dry.

This is the final part of a series of Still-life lessons where students do drawings in different techniques and then make a mod-roc outcome. In this powerpoint the students go to a computer room and do a presentation on the artist LOUISE NEVELSON and then make a mod-roc outcome. Steps are showing how to make the mod-roc relief and criteria for success with this medium. Students then evaluate their mod-roc outcome by doing a tonal drawing of this and reflect on the outcome Computer room research: Louise Nevelson - students write and answer the questions and resource information on this artist. After making the mod-roc students evaluate their mod-roc outcome and do a drawing of your outcome and as a group discuss how they will as a group present their own work like Louise Nevelson. Learning Objectives: To explore developing a relief surface of an area of my still -life drawing and develop this in mod roc technique To build a mod –roc outcome looking at relief techniques To in a group build your Modroc into a standing tower with the rest of the group. Do a study of the artist Louise Nevelson and present her work by doing an artist study of her work. Complete the project by doing an evaluation of their mod-roc relief sculpture and do a pencil drawing of this

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
