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 make a cupcake in each of the modern movement styles and make a cake stand at the end of the project. This is a set of powerpoints for each movern movement, Surrealism, Cubism, Expressionism, Neo-impressionism, Fauvism and Realism. It is a set of 8 lessons and then there is the Scheme of Work for the project.
For each of the movements students learn a different technique:
Surrealism- Splash Chance watercolour imaginary creature out of this to add to cupcake.
Cubism - geometrical shapes to shade light to dark to create angular cupcake over a collage made of newspaper. Realism - Tonal realistic shading to capture 3D form.
Expressionism-Black and white polyprint to capture the agitated marks of artists. Neo-Impressionism - using a stippling technique with paintbrush to capture fine mark-making.
Fauvism- random use of arbitrary colour to capture the bright spontaneity of paint marks.
At the end of the project students then choose a party theme and independently decorate their party plate with the cupcakes on this.
This is a Modern Art Movements project where the students make different cup-cakes in the different Art modern movement Styles and then make a cupcake stand with all the different cakes in the different styles displayed.
This is a powerpoint on the relief printing of Expressionist movement. The students use a polyprint block and make their own cupcake in this expressionist style and roll ink.
The students first need to understand the style of the project and learn what the specific characteristics of Expressionism is:
-the harsh agitated lines
-angular marks and the
-dark bright intense colour or just black and white woodcut prints of the Expressionist artists.
This is part of a project of Modern movements where students do all the different styles: Neo-impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism -etc. See the other powerpoints.
Learning Objectives:

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.
This is part of a unit of work called Modern Movements - using cup cakes. This is the first lesson where students explore looking at what are the themes in historical art and how this relates to Modern Art
This first powerpoint explores what is Art and looks at the various subjects of the past master paintings: Still-life, Landscape and Portraits.
Students make a circular collage of examples of themes in Art.
This is a summary for files - a 5 min Scheme of Work to help with having all the essential information required. This is my project Modern Movements - cupcakes where students make a cupcake in various different modern art styles: Expressionism - black and white polyprint, Neo-Impressionism stippling and dots with paint or crayon, Fauvism - splash arbitrary colours and learn how to use water-colour, Realism - pencil shading accurately, Surrealism - make a magical fantasy creature like Miro to go on the cupcake. There is a Scheme of work for this unit.
This links to Modern movement project and has activities for starters and a list of activities to take place weekly.
It has a Glossary with it for the project.
it has an evaluation for project.
Also resources for students to understand the movements.
There is a separate bundle for the whole project- with all the schemes for each movement with starter activities.
But, the outcomes are successful and students enjoy learning about the art movements and making cup-cakes in the various art styles.

Evaluation of project
These tasks relate to understanding the key building bricks in Art: Elements of Art and the principles of design and should give you 12 weeks of tasks for students to make two booklets.
Making a booklet on the elements of art and then one on the principles of design.
Understanding these key terms helps in enabling students to write about art and if this is completed at Key Stage 3 can be a real help at GCSE and A-level
