This is a good place to start to understand what is colour and colour theory in the form of organising colours in a colour wheel. This i normally do in year seven but also go through again at GCSE - students should learn a large number of colour terms through this powerpoint. The powerpoint gives clear steps to making a colour wheel and then explains all the colour terms in depth, primary, secondary colour snd tertiary colours, with complementary and analogous colours. There are also more colour study tasks and more colour terms to understand, so it goes into more depth on different colours- including degraded colour, triads, hue, chroma, tint, tone, luminosity, lustre, neutral colours, monochrome and split contrasts. We will be learning to make a colour wheel We will be learning about colour terms We will be learning to make a colour wheel with paint, or with pencil crayons or with found objects We will be learning to combine a range of objects and arrange them in a colour wheel We will be making a drawing developing a mood by using colour There are also video clips on colour studies linked to tasks. Based on an understanding of colour there is a task to represent their own memories and feelings using colour, shape and pattern. “Try to close their eyes and remember an experience in terms of colour and form. Try to make visual notes in your sketchbooks. Make a painting which symbolises the experience let your feelings and memories come out by using different colours, shapes and patterns.’”

Use the Singh Twins to inspire a collage on Self-identity Year 9 project at KS3. Students make a collage of their own photographs and favourite things. Transfer this and trace to a coloured washed background and paint in shapes and add in the fine pen line work to give detail.

Looking at the work of Cindy Sherman in depth with all her major themes and developing one’s own photo-shoot and selfie and a history portrait Cindy Sherman and her photographs and how she captures gender and stereotypical poses, Alter-ego images, Self-identity figures, Bus riders, examples of History portraits, Film Stills, grotesque portraits and her Clown images. There are 11 questions to answer on her work and students should look through the slides and answer the questions analysing her work. Discussing what makes a gender? What are stereotypes? The pictures show how Cindy changes her identity showing how we make our own identity and we are not born with it. There are lots of examples of photographs by Cindy to inspire Year 9/10 and A-level students to question their identity and what makes an identity. Students should 1 Set up a scene and capture a stereotypical identity they would like to capture or 2 Transform their image completely and to take on a new identity or 3 Capture themselves as they see themselves with all their own interests. 4 Develop a History portrait based on examples of Cindy Sherman.

Used for A-level students to develop their interest in ink-wash techniques by looking at the work of Renaissance artists. History of Art - Renaissance ink wash methods and outcomes. A discussion with loads of examples of their work and how they formed their compositions and developed their drawings. Also how to make home inks.

• 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. After this students are asked to copy a picture of Banksy and then make their own collage of his work using magazines and newspapers. The theme of their poster is on the pandemic. We will be learning: To create a poster collage in the style of Banksy that describes the pandemic occurring and linking this to the UK To use magazines, newspapers and pictures and to make a collage of these to create a poster. To make a slogan, drawing the lettering or finding letters in magazies or newspaper. Success Criteria Your poster must include the following: A key phrase or work linked to the pandemic Two image that links to what is happening in the UK or something that is key in the NEWS. It should have graffitti style lettering and pencil work Accurate shape outline Good use of negative space Link between font style and theme Clear placements/readable

This is a powerpoint on the theme Broken and refers to the Eastern concept of Wabi Sabi - where one sees beauty in imperfections. There are lots of examples to get students to think of broken and the meaning of this and what is beauty? Students are asked to do a mind map of broken and try to describe situations where something is broken and what the meaning is of this and question its beauty? Lots of examples of different examples of artworks to show Broken. If this was a GCSE theme students to use this as prompts to help develop ideas on the theme.

Describe what type of lines, shapes, space, colour and textures do you see in the work. Try to add one word to the element …………… For example: Wobbly Lines, Dark Colours, Rough Texture, Mathematical shapes Wide Space ‘We are learning to develop your written work looking at a work of Michael Craig Martin We are learning to make a presentation of this in a powerpoint: We are learning to show slides which should include: Artist name, and pictures of his work, We are learning to write an analysis using questions on our slides We are learning to make our own response to the work using pencils, pencil crayons and felt tips We are learning to reflect on the work of Michael Craig Martin and how he has used still-life.’ Research On the internet students find examples of the work of Michael Craig Martin Choose two images by this artist, one you like and one you do not like. Students answer the following questions and display visually: 'Why do you like the first image? Why do you not like the second image? What bit in each photo do you look at first?" Students Choose one image to analyze and to use as the basis for their own drawing – the one students are asked to copy. Students evaluate: “What do you like about this artwork? Which section do you look at first? How are you going to copy this artwork (remember its your own version it, not a perfect copy)” Plan the layout of your page first in pencil, carefully. Presentation is VERY important! Title: ‘Line, Shape & Colour – Michael Craig-Martin. Decorate your page. Next copy one of Craig-Martin’s paintings using colouring pencils.Stufents ask the following questions: What are your most favourite objects? What objects do you use all the time? Are there any objects that you can not do without? Think carefully about these questions and find 4 images of objects on the internet You may using the internet or take you own photos. Try out different viewpoints, fill the photo with the object and photograph on a plain background. We are going to try to trace off the screen or draw objects with a pencil from the screen Why do we look at things in certain ways? How can we make objects look interesting? Can you guess the objects photographed from different angles? Divide your page into four sections. Title: Line, Shape and Form/Overlapping and Composition Now in each box you are to draw in pencil the outline only of your favourite objects. Try to draw the object four times, once in each block and try to draw a different viewpoint each time Remember to…………. keep the lines neat and clean. look carefully at the shape and form of each object. fill each box with the 4 objects and presentation is important. 4. layout and the way you overlap should be different in each block Find objects at home to use in your Michael Craig Margin Interpretation or objects on the internet to copy from Take at least 4-6 objects and try to combine them together Plan out a rough sketch first………. See example

This is a project about design and can be used to gain a deeper understamding how positive and negative shapes work. This is about black and white designs using the Notan technique. This is the balancing of light and dark shapes using a Japanese idea of design. What is Notan? is the first part of poweerpoint where students develop an understanding of how to use light and dark shapes. Activity Objective: To make Notan compositions and learn about balancing light and dark shapes to make a composition. Looking at Design artists who use Notan: Marimeko, Escher, William Morris To understand what is the meaning of ‘NOTAN’ and art termsTo develop your own Notan design in your bookTo understand how various designers use the concept of Notan in their work. Task 1 USING A SQUARE OF COLOURED PAPER or black paper to start 2.DRAW shapes in from the edges of each side of the square. Draw in from edges 3.CUT OUT SHAPES FROM THE EDGES AND PASTE IN A MIRROR REFLECTION Task 2 Try add a second layer of shapes in your design into the mirror reflection and reflect this back into design Watch the video clip from 0.5 - see link in powerpoint Terms in Art to define Symmetrical Asymmetrical Notan Balance Harmony Positive and Negative shapes

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.

Some of these topics are presented in other powerpoints of mine on TES.

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…….

This is a lesson for self identity project after students complete the scaling up of their face in pencil. Using a photocopy students then do a mono-print of their face and later interpret this into an artist style. There are also some links to You tube clips of different ways to do the mono-print. To do a set of three monoprints using one’s photograph to draw with To do 1. a line drawing of one’s portrait carefully following the detail of portrait. Use one’s fingers to create some tonal areas To do 2. a line drawing of ones portrait and then in the ghost print to draw into this surface and to print this To do 3 a line drawing of a portrait but to lay a stencil on your ink block before you do the print.
