This is a project where students are asked to choose an artist to study their style. Student’s question and develop an understanding of What is a style? Outcome of this project is that students in year 7 do their own portrait interpretation using the artists and create a mixed media collage based on the selected artist. There is an exploration on using a variety of media. Students develop their own skills exploring how to make their own portrait in the style of the artist. Students use a photocopy of a photograph of themselves to work from. There is an emphasis on experimentation and students can bring in found textures to collage. Students use the four artists to make a copy of the four artists styles in a grid on a page: Hundertwasser, Klimt, Ofili and Van Gogh. TASK 1 The first part of the project is the Artist Research in 4 grids. One for each artist. Students in the grid discuss the characteristics of each artist’s use of line, colour, shape and texture. There is an individual slide on each artist which highlights with close up pictures showing the markmaking of each artist. Teacher to go through each slide of each artist and copy the pictures as an example for students to work from. Students write out the name in each gird, how each artist has a different way of using their marks and then in the grid copies a detail of the artist’s work. This is completed in pencil crayons. Students can also use an object and interpret this in styles - there is an example Students also brainstorm words to describe the artist. Students also describes the use of elements in each work. Students also discuss the main characteristics of the artist and how they have used their line, colour, shape, texture and how the artist has composed the picture (that is, put it together). This should take 2 lessons - with students completing the work for homework TASK 2 Once students have analysed this they can go on to make their own portrait by choosing one of the artists. There are lots of examples of students work in this powerpoint to give examples of how to go about this project. Students to be given a photocopy picture of themselves to work from This should take 3 lessons in class. Objectives: Use of found textures, collage materials and paint to interpret a style looking at the way the student experimented with the use of materials to create the style Explore media creatively when interpreting artist. Develop vocabulary and to understand the different ways of using lines, shapes and colours and students begin to analyse the artworks critically describing each work. To begin to understand that each artist has their own way of interpreting their subject and each person has the own way of making their own style To analyse and interpret four different artist’s styles and begin to make a personal response to one of these artists. To complete a self- portrait in the style of an artist.

This is a slide of lots of different images of pictures of portraits and figures. The next slide is of the vocabulary list and words to match with the pictures. Print the pictures out on a sheet of A3 and get students to match the visual and words. This is for any age group and relates to a topic on portraiture.

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 a resource on examples of Victoria Crowe’s work and this has been used with year 11 to get them to experiment with acrylic paint and gold leaf Students ts find out about Scottish painter and write up a paragraph on her work. Questions included for Critical analysis Artist study for GCSE and A-level - interpreting artist. Learning a new technique and painting with gold. Also a link to a video on using gold leaf to help with artist interpretation. STUDENTS TO SELECT ONE OF HER WORKS FROM SLIDES PRACTISE HER TECHNIQUES EXPLORING PAINT AND GOLD LEAF EXPERIMENTS MAKE A PAGE In sketchbook FOR AN ARTIST STUDY ON HER WORK

Students to be given a strip of paper and fold this into 8 sections. On the end two folds students make a front cover. There is a You tube video link to this project. In the six sections in the middle of the fold out paper there are 6 tasks for each of the elements of art. Line, Shape, Colour, Texture, Space and Value. Students on the one side of the fold out write information about the element and on the other side students are to do a drawing of the element as a creative response to each element This is a fun project and the outcomes are successful.

Students make a fold out booklet of each of the principles. Video clip on how to make a booklet and then to make each fold on each principle. This powerpoint gives a slide for each principle and students need to make each side of the booklet as creative as they can. One side is the explanation of each principle and the other side one’s own interpretation. The powerpoint has examples of artwork of each principle to help students to develop their own ideas. Sheets are copied and students follow making a booklet where one side of the booklet is to give information and definitions on the principles and the other side of the booklet is the student’s own interpretation of the principle. There are prompts given on each slide explaining what is required for students to write on each principle and examples of what is expected for the student to gather some notes on each principle.

A history of art powerpoint showing key sculptural examples from the early Paleolithic sculpture to the work of Michelangelo showing all the key developments in form to show more realism. There are lots of notes to provoke discussion in the class on the different sculptures. Various comparative tasks can be given to develop students ability to analyse the sculptural forms. This also tells the story of art and the development of sculptural form in Art and how art develops through the ages from Paleleolithic, Egyptian, Greek - Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic Art and Gothic Art following with Early Renaissance and the work of Donatello to the work of Michelangelo in Late Renaissance. Students learn about key sculptures to develop their knowledge of art and begin to understand how sculptural form developed. There is a beginning of understanding how the first sculpture was a small fertility form - the Venus of Willendorf and how this was used to empower people and how this then develops to capture the emotion and pathos in the work of Mary Magdalene by Donatello. Many comparisons can be drawn and it enables students to see the development of form and so understand the history of art.

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 project for A-level students starting with looking at Geometric Abstraction and the use of the colour ‘White’ in the work of modern abstract artists. This will help students to develop their own personal theme. This is a good starting theme for A-level students or IB students and gives them a process or idea to start with in order to develop their own personal outcome. It gives some examples to prompt the students to start thinking of: What is Abstraction, Conceptual Art, Cubism Abstraction and Geometric Art? Students are asked to research various artists who show Geometric abstraction and ‘white’ from the Islamic artists to Kasimer Malevich (Suprematism), Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian. The project continues giving the A-level students some practical tasks to develop the idea of how to paint a ‘white’ object. There are also examples of some contemporary artists who use geometric abstract shapes and abstraction in nature. Students should be asked to find their own artists they like who use Geometric abstraction and white. Students then explore artists who have used white and look at how they use white in a textural way. Students can look at Robert Rauschenberg. Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. Students choose one artist and make a booklet exploring their analysis of the artists and the way they use white, but also an experimental booklet showing how to show ‘white’ textual surfaces. Students also take photographs of objects which are ‘white’ to develop further using different media and then subsequently to develop their own final piece based on their own personal research into the subject ’ white’ and ‘geometric abstraction’. Examples of student’s work is given to help students explore various media to develop their own personal ‘white’ outcome. There are also examples of final pieces of A-level students who tried to paint something white showing how they used pastel colours in their finals to develop their outcomes.

Making something out of the resources you have at home. This gives a visual list of resources you can use at home to draw with, paint with and make 3D forms with. Good for GCSE students and above for they need to explore a number of techniques for assessment objective. There are videos to motivate and to demonstrte and there are examples of different types of art you can do. Think of some ideas for making art out of cardboard, recycled containers, toilet rolls, toilet paper, old books, magazines, old clothes, wool, ear buds, toothpicks, straws, stones/plants. It also suggests you could also on your phone make a piece of artwork using a photo and an app or draw on your phone. This is to inspire and students to decide what you are going to make…….

In this powerpoint there are key objectives: To use photographs of your school building and change them to emulate artists/photographers who show decay. To learn how to crinkle the picture up to show paper creases To blend in pictures of decay and textures into a school building photograph in the style of the artist. There is a clear definition for decay and students can use this to start there project. There are slides of a number of photographers to use for this theme and then examples of how to use Adobe Photoshop with steps to show progress in building your own outcome. The photographers are Cedric Wilson, Serj Fedulov, Paul Stokinger,Stikki Peaches, Martino Zegwaard and Armita Raafat. Students can use these photographers and there are steps to show how to achieve these effects on Adobe photoshop used by the photographers There is also a clear example on how to do an analysis of a photographer in your sketchbook To start with there is a recap on composition - how to take a photo and a reminder of the 4 Key objectives used in Photography and an explanation of what key objectives this meets. This powerpoint focuses on the assessment objective 'Develop ideas" from photographers and then how to " Explore" Adobe photoshop techniques to develop your Decay theme.

Year 10 Art - a set of slides to give an overall course program for GCSE. Working through all the objectives - Develop, Explore, Record and Present Under each objective a list of tasks with reflection sheet to write up progress as students work through the key areas of the course. This is a scheme of work for students to use.

Exercises, activities to develop an understanding of shape and a wide variety of tasks to experiment with the dynamics of shape. Looking at energy points, different typeface shapes, negative and positive shapes, symmetry patterns, repeat patterns, NOTAN, designing with geometric and organic shapes, drawing shapes to different smells, using music to capture shapes, looking at the meaning of words to capture shapes and the play with tangram shapes. This can be used with A-level students to inspire, GCSE students for starters and Key Stage 3 to develop a foundation knowledge of the basic element ‘shape’. There are also a number of different artists like David Bomberg, Joan Miro, Stuart Davis, Escher, Lisa Milroy and Henri Matisse - artists who use a simplified shape in their work and students can interpret there own ideas from these artists. There are lots of exercises and different tasks to experiment with shapes.

**What is A-level Art and AS Art? ** An introduction to the Course and why should I study A-level Art? This is to introduce students to what is A-level Art and what is required in the course. It gives examples of the components of the course and describes how to go about developing the coursework project and controlled test. **How to approach the course? ** 1, Respond to work from other artists and cultures. 2, Develop preliminary plans and sketches in preparation for further work. 3. Present and organise your thoughts in a visual and intelligible way. 4. Recognise and deal with design problems 5. Think up your own ideas. 6. Explore and use materials skilfully. **Key Tips to complete the course? ** Examples of how to process the Personal Investigation showing the key objectives, developing ideas from artists, showing exploring materials and taking ideas through a number of processes and doing artist responses. Then developing ideas, compositional plans and artist studies to realise final concept. Examples of Externally set task, pages from sketchbooks to show how ideas were developed to interpret the theme Examples of possible Related Study and what topics one can develop into a written study - examples of covers of different studies to give an idea of what is expected.

This is a few slides of portrait drawings and to use as a starter activity where students can analyse the marks, lines and textures used to capture the portrait. Students in pairs look at the lines used in the portraits and quickly analyse and describe the quality of the marks and what effect this has on the drawing. A good way to find meaning in the marks and to get the mood of a drawing.
