A Powerpoint covering six lessons (86 slides in total). Pupils learn how to use the gridding method in order to draw an accurate portrait of a celebrity. Pupils then learn about layering and blending colour pencil and tints and shades in order to add the colour wheel to their portrait. The pupils who completed this unit used colouring pencil but this could be easily adapted to watercolours instead. Assessment for learning is signposted throughout. Suitable for KS3.
A detailed PowerPoint (consisting of 92 slides and covering 6 lessons) exploring the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. The final outcome for this project is an oil pastel, chalk and ink resist piece- ghosted images of O'Keeffe's flowers and shells are provided for extra support but the project could be extended and pupils could draw their own final outcome.
This project was very engaging, learning objectives are clear and there are clear links to colour theory. Peer assessment, self assessment and teacher assessment is also included (including sheets to provide feedback with). Differentiated questioning strategies include a 'Pokemon' themed scoring system whereby pupils collect Pokemon and answer more challenging questions in order to 'evolve' their Pokemon.
This resource is a series of 4 lessons (to be used in conjunction with the Y7 perspective, landscape and architecture booklet I have created and uploaded). Pupils will learn about the key features of Hundertwasser's work and draw a one or two-point perspective landscape inspired by Hundertwasser, applying and refining the observational drawing techniques they learnt in part one of the project.
This resource is a series of 5 lessons (which can be used in conjunction with the perspective, landscape and architecture booklet I have created and uploaded).
Pupils learn about perspective and scale and perspective and colour. Pupils will learn how to layer and blend colouring pencil effectively and there are also a range of fun, timed observational drawing tasks to develop pupils drawing skills. Learning objectives are clear and tasks are differentiated. The outcome of this project is a one or two-point perspective landscape inspired by North East based artist John Coatsworth.
An extremely detailed 45 page booklet of resources and 2D tasks based around the themes of perspective, landscape and architecture. Outcomes include a one or two-point perspective landscape inspired by monuments and buildings in the North East and pieces inspired by a range of engaging artists. Suitable for KS3.
A paper sculpture project based on emotion and metaphor.

Have fun! :-)
