This resource is designed to teach students how to use the grid technique to aid their drawing skills, focusing on the Formal Elements FORM, SHAPE and COMPOSITION by producing aquatic natural form drawings. It can be used for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students. On the sheet there is the learning objective, a description of what the grid technique is, and the task instructions. There is a tone bar starter task for students to practise using their varied tonal shading in pencil, before beginning the main tasks. This is repeated in a different manner in an extension task where students create an ‘AQUATIC’ title tone bar to reinforce their shading skills used. The main tasks have reference pictures with a grid on top of them, and a light blank grid to draw them on to. This activity sheet is designed to engage students in ‘looking and seeing’, particularly in terms of proportion, and in using the following Formal Elements of art: LINE TONE FORM SHAPE COMPOSITION The resource is one PDF file. This sheet has been designed to be used within a scheme of work, but is also suitable for a one off lesson (or couple of lessons), and/or cover session(s). It takes approximately two to three lessons to complete, if being produced to a high standard. I usually print this resource on A3 cartridge paper and my students work directly onto the sheet. Their sheets are then stored in an A3 portfolio with integrated clear wallets to record and store their project journey in a professional folder. I have created other grid drawing sheets and other drawing based resources of varying subject matter, which you may wish to look at in my shop.

This resource is designed to highlight the Formal Elements of art, while creating a contour weave drawing of an apple with TEXTURE formations. It can be used for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students. This sheet also has an extension task to further push and engage learners: To create a ‘WEAVE’ title, working on the template provided. Students are to add weave textures on the letters to link with the theme of the task page. There are some example weave patterns to use for inspiration also. The activity sheet is designed to engage students in ‘looking and seeing’ and in using the following Formal Elements of art: LINE SHAPE FORM PATTERN TEXTURE This resource is two PDF files; one with a ghost outline template to support the less able/less confident students, and one without for the more able/gifted and talented students.
