KS3 Landscape Surrealism , Desmond Morris, Joan Micro, Jean Debuffet -fantasy black pen drawing

(1)
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.

Art exam short evaluation drawing:Yr 7 rope, Yr 8 fabric pattern/peg/brush and Yr 9 portrait drawing

(1)
This is a standardisation test for KS 3 testing drawing skills. You will need to as a teacher to resource the following for students: Year 7 Thick rope tied up, Year 8 Piece of fabric square with a peg or/and ribbon or a paintbrush to replace peg, Year 9 Xmas baubels or large spoons that have a reflection. This did not cost too much to put together for a yearly assessment. Year 7: Rope drawing - looking at the ability to create volume with tone and then to add in the pattern lines of the rope texture with the volume effect. Some students are able to capture good line patterns showing good design skills and line qualities. More able students are able to capture the volume. Year 8: Peg/large paintbrush and Fabric drawing - This is an exercise in capturing the volume, pattern and shading and accurate perspective drawing of the peg. Some students are able to show this more accurately and can show good tonal variations and the illusion of the 3D form in the peg and the brush. The lovely use of colour in the fabric supports students with strong design skills and pattern Year 9: Self identity drawing a portrait in a spoon or a bauble supports a theme on Self identity in year 9 and students can re-fine their skills in drawing themselves carefully in a bauble. Looking at volume and accurate tonal shading to draw a sphere with the distorted self portrait. Students enjoy capturing themselves having learnt about portrait drawing they can begin to excel in trying to create an illusion of themselves.

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…….
