Drawing with Lowry

(0)
This 11 page resource explains how Lowry’s work was relaxed and simple in regards to his representational skills. Under this description we can look to see if studying Lowrys work will reassure young artists that not always does art and its drawings have to be of the highest standards. Understanding his figures also shows how we can draw in our own way, and if we do, we can express our own opinions, thoughts and feelings. It is perhaps here that we can encourage pupils to interpret, in their own way, the human form without creating the impression that the matter of drawing a person is too difficult. The work is ideal for homework handouts, sketchbook fillers and descriptions and annotations. There is also a collage exercise to encourage ideas of composition.

DRAW ANYTHING -- (discover self)

(0)
This resource is a single page exercise aimed at encouraging a fun way to explore pen and pencil. Aimed at any age group, this exercise can either be fun lesson filler or a more experimental and indicative exercise helping the teacher to understand the pupils capabilities. The exercise encourages some liberty by allowing the pupil to draw anything but the task must be completed by a verbal and written reflection, once the work is done the pupil must display and talk to the class about the work it self. Supposedly the work will lead to a ‘doodle’ or a drawing of a particular thing that the pupil is familiar with but the exercise will display a good insight into the pupil and their interests / abilities. Ideal for year 7’s, or new pupils or teachers… Ideal for gaining insight into the pupils capabilities which can then lead to constructive guidance and advice regarding relevant art related interests… The work should help the pupil understand the ideas of developing subject matter and context to creating works. The exercise can also be done in reverse where the pupil writes about an image and then draws the image afterwards.

At the end of the exercise the teacher should be left with a collection designs that can work towards a display. The work explores, objects, animals and ‘notions’ or ‘experiences’ In American Indian culture, objects, animals and experiences are defined in a manner that allows the artist means to portray such subject matter in a particular style. In learning how to symbolise objects and other such things, we can begin to interpret things in our own manner, developing an individual interpretation on the matter being portrayed. The unit of work covers homework exercises and other means to encourage the student to develop their own interpretation on various things and experiences that will eventually contribute to a series of designs that can be applied to the their totem pole design. There are also written tasks that encourage the student to apply imagery to stories. Which should encourage the totem pole design. As well as descriptive exercises to help understand the subject of the totem pole. There are also colouring in exercises.

Drawing with the Gods (part 1)

(0)
This resource (1 of 2) is a hand out where the pupils can choose which God they want to draw. It is either a single lesson, with A hand out or it is an entire unit of work exploring the Greek gods. Encouraging a sense of affiliation and individuality. Some are ideal for girls and others ideal for boys. And it is the teachers job to ask which pupil would like to draw which god. If the teacher wishes not to hand out all gods to all pupils. The hand out is a great sketch book filler, and are also ideal for developing the drawing skills. The hand outs are informative and educational with descriptions about the Greek gods and their roles in society and the Heavens. As the gods have descriptions themselves, perhaps it is here that the pupils can learn to associate with them selves what they think they represent and what they are known for. In exploring the gods perhaps the pupils can explore there own identities and roles. This is the conversation of the class.

Understanding nouns and creative writing!!

(0)
Help your class to be motivated in creative writing! Team up in pairs! Choose 20 of the nouns to create a story… Part 1! Create a story using 20 nouns. Let the class use their own adjectives, conjunctions, pro nouns and adverbs etc to structure a story. Part 2! Your pair must write an analytical review on the others story. This should get them into the mood of evaluating, interpreting and analysing. Don’t forget what they write may be meaningful so this may be a good chance to get your pupils thinking about what is explaining directly and indirectly! (Explicit describes something as being expressed directly without anything being implied. Implicit describes things in which a meaning is implied or hinted at rather than being expressed directly.)
