A detailed Celtic medieval project looking at examples of how to draw in a simplified stylised way and to represent one’s own family, friends, animals in an illuminated letter. Students make up two large letters in pencil crayons learning to draw stylising their own pictures and study a number of medieval examples of letters and learn to elongate and to distort their own pictures capturing a simple picture with expression. Students draw this on white paper their two initials and add in all the medieval patterns. There are loads of examples on this powerpoint of various medieval letters and illuminated manuscripts to copy from to give the students enough resources to work from . There are also tasks and steps to follow for teachers. An enjoyable project that also should include how to shade carefully using light and dark tones with pencil crayons as part of unit of work and how to draw using warm and cold colours. The work is finally presented cut out and pasted onto black paper and students can then use oil pastels and further decorate their presentation to create the intricate pattern work of an illuminated manuscript letter.

• Learning Objectives To reflect on examples of copies of drawings of different artists and illustrators and analyse the formal elements: shapes, tone, form, lines, texture, and marks. • To investigate and interpret a variety of selected artists and discuss their sense of style and markmaking • To study drawings with reference to their visual literacy and the formal elements (tone, texture, colour, line, form). • To discover the different mark making skills of a number of different artists. • To research, investigate and develop ideas in a personal way on an A2 sheet. To develop a visual work of practical responses with annotations. In this task students are to analyse the drawing styles of particular artists and begin to interpret these different artist’s styles in drawings of their own. Students use the formal elements to analyse the artists and develop drawings using their own subject as a response with annotations. • Students draw the hand/feet or a subject of their choice in particular signatures of a selection of artists. • To reflect on examples of copies of drawings of different artists and illustrators and analyse the formal elements: shapes, tone, form, lines, texture, and marks. • Try to use different drawing techniques as highlighted by the masters. This is a good start to critical contextual analysis and gets students to look at a number of artists and develops their visual analysis skills . Students to end with an A2 or A1 drawing sheet showing their subject in various styles.

In the first part of the powerpoint students are asked to listen to pieces of music and to formulate slogans from them. Students then are asked to do a critical analysis of the work of Banksy by selecting one of his works and answering questions.

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.

Ai Wei Wei started out as going to a Film school and he was a son of a father who was a poet. But, his father was banned from practising as a poet and Ai Wei Wei grew up in a society where he realised how important it was to use his mind and his imagination to make artworks. He realises that Chinese society prevent personal comments and censors artists. Ai Wei Wei is so disappointed with Chinese society he leaves to go and work in the USA. He realises how artists are heavily punished and he knows he has a strong sense of criticising society.

This is a step by step drawing of a cupcake - showing how to start with basic shapes and then adding in the detail and the shading. This is part of the modern movements project where students make a cake stand with various cup cakes in different art styles linked to modern movements: Expressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Fauvism, Realism, Surrealism. It also has some slides showing how to do some mark-making exercises to build up students ability to control pencil skills and to capture detail. Students can also draw from a picture of a cup-cake or preferably have a real cup-cake in front of them to draw from. Students can also use the grid method to draw a cupcake and there is a picture of this technique to help.

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.

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.
