Looking at briefly two chapters of the famous John Berger book ’ Ways of Seeing’ It is difficult to summarise a book of such a wealth of knowledge and such a clever way of phrasing ideas. The slide presentation gives one a sketch of two chapters. Chapter one which discusses the image versus the photo, seeing versus words and there are a few quotes from John Berger but also the link to the You tube clips. This is a good A-level presentation and then to get the students to listen to the first two chapters on video clip. Students need to question how an image has lost its meaning through the advent of the camera and begin to draw a comparison of images before the camera and after the camera. Students should also look at how the way we have reproduced the female form through the ages from Antiquity to the 21st Century and think about the meaning of what it is to be nude and what it is to be naked. John Berger has a lot of ideas on this and there are lots of phrases from his book discussing this concept and showing some examples of this in some major artworks. One can never make justice of this incredible book but the slide show does allow for discussion in the class on important concepts and understandings we have of images in our time.

Tasks to develop drawing skills and giving examples and exercises to develop line qualities in drawings. Looking at various types of lines and ways of drawing with artists examples this is a great project for year 12/13 -AS and A-level class to develop confidence and skills in sketchbooks. A good way to build skills in art. Gives a variety of tasks and inspiration with a wealth of different lines to use. Using different types of lines to draw with like, contour lines, pattern lines, expressive lines, structural and modelling lines, diagrammatic lines planning and plotting lines and with examples to support the learning. There are lots of little exercises to develop confidence in drawing with lines.

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.

Firstly consolidating watercolour skills in this project the powerpoint then goes to look at the artist called Hundertwasser. Looking in depth at Hundertwasser, developing an Artist Study presentation after going to the computer room to find information on this artist and to analyse one picture of his work. Students are then asked to on four separate sheets to draw out the key symbols and elements in Hundertwasser’s work. . Students are then given pictures of buildings and asked to continue to apply his style and to make some drawings inspired by his work. Examples of all these are given with student examples. This project then further developed into making a clay tile after formulating an orignal own interpretation of Hundertwasser. There are plenty of student examples for you to look at. I have also added further extension tasks on Hundertwasser and some further interesting facts about his work. OBJECTIVES To develop an understanding of the work of Hundertwasser by studying the elements from Hundertwasser’s work. To copy some of Hundertwasser’s symbols with your pencil. To draw out Hundertwasser’s Onion domes, Lollipop trees, Faces and Spirals. To draw out a large picture of Lollipop trees of Hundertwasser and to use colour on this To use pictures of buildings and then to imaginatively interpret one’s own version of Hundertwasser using the research ideas completed into his use of symbols Students make up their own design of Hundertwasser in pencil and then in colour. To make a clay tile based on the design steps above- examples of student outcomes are given. Task 1 ‘Key Elements in the Art of Hundertwasser’ Copy out the picture given on slide 3 and label the key elements Hundertwasser uses in his work. You may use any materials you have to do this. It can be in colour or black and white with your pencil. Do this carefully.

This is part of a set 5 powerpoints on Cubism, painting skills and colour mixing and constructing a 3D sculpture. This attached Powerpoint deals with the development of the 3D sculpture Powerpoint 1 Using a drawing of face break this up into geometric shapes and compose an outcome to paint and analyse a cubist analytical painting and develop and understanding of Cubism Powerpoint 2 Explore a mixing of colours, especially complementary colours and develop an understanding of contrasting colours Powerpoint 3 Practice painting skills and applying paint smoothly Powerpoint 4. Painting skills using a card Poweerpoint 5. Simplify and construct a 3D analytical sculpture from your painting and evaluate your putcome. The powerpoint gives instructions and examples to show how to cut and join this. Firstly pasting on cardboard a copy of the painting and then cutting this up in shapes and building a construction of form as a 3D sculpture This then becomes a construction of a 3D sculpture using cardboard to make a mobile or standing sculpture based on Cubism. To paste painting onto Cardboard Ceareal box and to paint the back of the box To finally construct with glue gun to form a hanging mobile. Evaluation of project This is a series of 5 powerpoints where students to learn to paint a Cubist painting using a celebrity picture and complementary colours. Students to gain an understanding of Analytical Cubism and how to fragment a picture into geometric shapes and then learn to paint it in complementary colours. Develop this into a 3D sculpture and make a construction mobile cutting a copy of the painting into shapes.

Students in Cubism No. 2 have made a collage of a celebrity and in this powerpoint students begin to paint this in the style of the analytical cubist artists. Students use a limited colour scheme like the Cubists and choose two complementary colours. Students are shown how these colours cancel each other and how to create interesting colours through mixing thse colours and adding white and black. There are examples of various complementary outcomes and students are given key terms to use in relation to colour. Degraded colours, tint, shade,…
