The project has examples of plant forms to look at and by using Ernst Haeckel and Nikki de St Phalle. The students begin to research their own design plant shape on a presentation sheet. This involves drawing with fine pens over a wash of colour.Examples are given in Powerpoint - lots of pictures of plants and examples of how to do a wash. Students can also do some Wax and scratch drawings of natural forms using wax crayons and oil pastels. Students then present these on a preparatory sheet- there are examples of this technique. Secondly students then using their own drawings (wax and scratch) of plants and Niki de St Phalle and Haeckel begin to do a design sheet for their monster plant. Resources needed: Plastic pot plants to stand the branches and plants in, withies, newspaper, tissue paper, masking tape, PVA glue to make paper mache glue, re-cycled card, re-cycled bottles, acrylic paints to decorate. The students study they work of Niki De St. Phalle looking at her biomorphic and colourful sculptures and then by using the her work as inspiration plan a design and build a 3D form using withies, found re-cycled plastic bottles and cardboard and construct a plant form in a large plastic plant pot as a basis. There are examples of outcomes and examples of skills to use in the buildong of construction, The powerpoint has lots of examples to use as inspiration and final examples of outcome.

There are plenty of examples of Andy Goldsworthy on the slides and examples of other peoples work doing land art.

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 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

Looking at the work of Peter Blake- there is a page of information and questions on his work. There are examples of his alphabet artworks and cover designs for Famous Music artists. Students are inspired by his work of collage, photography and free drawing style. Task 1. Students make their own Pop art alphabet style and this links to Graphics and students can look at Pop art letter styles. Task 2 Students are asked to find their own popular things linked to each letter of the alphabet. Students are asked to make their own alphabet using the similar ideas as Peter Blake, but to focus on trying to create a favourite thing for each of letter of the alphabet. Students then put these ideas on an A4 or A3 paper. There are examples of different alphabets and student examples of final outcome. Task 4 Students play with letters and take one letter and make this in various different designs This is a Graphics exercise and students learn to play with one letter and styles. Task 3 Students put a collage together in the style of Peter Blake. Students should use lettering/ graphics and link this to their own favourite things and then make a collage of this in a 26cm square shape. students can use pictures from magazines , comics and newspaper and cut out and collage. Task 5 Students should creatively now make their own album design. There are formats for the CD covers to use as a template. Presentation gives examples for inspiration of Peter Blake’s alphabet designs and album covers and looks at some of his famous Album cover designs. Students need to make their own CD cover of their favourite musician. Students to use a variety of media for final task.

Students learn about the Art history styles or a set of Artists and develop a project which has all of these styles in a final outcome. Different themes can be chosen as a subject which then includes all these modern art styles. In this slide presentation - there are examples of final outcomes: A ‘Still-life bowl’ with different fruit in different styles An ‘Interior of a Room’ with areas of the room in different styles and A ‘Cake Stand’ with cupcakes in different styles. IN THIS POWERRPOINT THE THEME IS FRUIT AND EXAMPLES GIVEN IN EACH STYLE. THE OUTCOME IS A BOWL OF FRUIT. In all of these the students combine all the styles to form a display of fruit. The powerpoint gives an outline of a number of art movements, Futurism, De Stijl, Pop Art, German Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Fauvism and students are asked to do a different style each week with a different technique and develop an outcome. Some of the possible outcomes are a Bowl of Fruit, an Interior of a room or a Stand of Cup Cakes. In each of these examples students use a different technique and style to make up their final. Students can work in groups to put this together as a final presentation or can work individually to create their final outcome. An excellent project and scheme of work for year 8 where students learn a number of skills but also learn about the Art movements and gain a deeper understanding of the story and history of Art. The presentation gives a detailed background to each style with artist examples and each week these styles can be discussed with the class. The key characteristics of each of the movements are carefully explained so that students gain an understanding of the movement.

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.

A project for KS3 possible Year 8 looking at Surrealism and the ‘psycho-automatism’ of the artists. Students develop a FANTASY LANDSCAPE for their own paintings out of ink blobs dropped onto their paper and out of random scribbles. Students learn to use these abstract shapes creatively in a composition and are able to thus learn how to shade with paint from light to dark to create a 3D effect of form. The emphasis is on getting students to understand what is chiaro=scuro through the light and dark modelling of abstract shapes. The abstract shapes help them understand that there is no wrong and helps them focus on getting the 3D modelling right. The students need to make a wash for a background with watercolour - using perhaps a sponge. The emphasis is on creating a sense of space with a horizon line and students have to compose their blob/scribble shapes in this infinite space to create a sense of depth on a flat surface. Students need to repeat the shapes and arrange them in different sizes. Students also need to create a sense of interest in the painting. Their surreal shapes are repeated and they are able to change the scale of their forms to develop their fantasy landscape. The second task is to do a black and white pen drawing of their painting, this develops mark-making skills and patterning. This is also a technical exercise where students have to then transform their painting into a black and white pen rendering. This powerpoint has examples of student’s work which helps to support the development of these activities.

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.
