Teaching Art is a feast into a of colour, line, texture, space and shape. By encouraging a visual exploration in my learning I love developing a creative approach to learning in the classroom. By encouraging different techniques and an understanding of art I hope to help students appreciate visual learning more. I hope you enjoy my uploads and can use them. Please contact me if you require any further information.

The project has examples of plant forms to look at and by using Ernst Haeckel and Nikki de St Phalle. The students begin to research their own design plant shape on a presentation sheet. This involves drawing with fine pens over a wash of colour.Examples are given in Powerpoint - lots of pictures of plants and examples of how to do a wash.
Students can also do some Wax and scratch drawings of natural forms using wax crayons and oil pastels. Students then present these on a preparatory sheet- there are examples of this technique.
Secondly students then using their own drawings (wax and scratch) of plants and Niki de St Phalle and Haeckel begin to do a design sheet for their monster plant.
Resources needed: Plastic pot plants to stand the branches and plants in, withies, newspaper, tissue paper, masking tape, PVA glue to make paper mache glue, re-cycled card, re-cycled bottles, acrylic paints to decorate.
The students study they work of Niki De St. Phalle looking at her biomorphic and colourful sculptures and then by using the her work as inspiration plan a design and build a 3D form using withies, found re-cycled plastic bottles and cardboard and construct a plant form in a large plastic plant pot as a basis. There are examples of outcomes and examples of skills to use in the buildong of construction,
The powerpoint has lots of examples to use as inspiration and final examples of outcome.
This is a GCSE coursework project on a theme called ‘Surfaces’ giving you loads of ideas to develop with your students. It deals with developing ideas to gain confidence with different media and to develop sketchbook skills. It is about the process of developing the Examboard Assessment Objectives AO1- Develop ideas from artists and AO2 Exploring different media for coursework.
It gives a set of observational photographs to work from for Assessment Objective 3 - AO3.
It gives you different artists to look at to gather resources on and students will be able to use these as artist studies and begin to explore these artists techniques and do studies in their book. This if for Assessment Objective 1 and students can gain ideas on ways to develop their skills in techniques through these artists and in so doing ‘Develop ideas’.
There are further sets of techniques for Assessment Objective 2 and one can explore, experiment with ideas for developing ‘creativity’ in your classroom. That is, exploring a number of different media and showing how one can take risks with the media in order to create an interesting effect. There are slides giving you a set of techniques to use - explaining how to use media in creative ways. These techiques link with the list of artists given on slides to start with.
The experimental techniques are:
=white paint printing,
=wax and scratch,
=distressing surfaces,
=dripping paint, scraping paint,
=using sgrafitto,
=cardboard collaging
=layering digital manipulations with collage
=using fabric and sewing into surfaces.
Emphasis here is that students should play and take risks and experiment with different materials and begin to layer and be able to draw on different surfaces.
It is a fun set of techniques at GCSE and/or A-level with students using their own resource material and developing their confidence and fluency with making creative experiments. Students can develop their own responses using the techniques.
There are questions so that students can write a final evaluation.
After this set of work students should be confident and independent enough to find their own photographs and to develop their own idea for a final piece for Assessment Objective 4.
There are plenty of examples of Andy Goldsworthy on the slides and examples of other peoples work doing land art.
Students will also need to identify various examples of materials used in Goldsworthy’s work.
Students will also need to complete an analysis of one example of one of Goldsworthy’s work: Penpont in Cairn. There are questions to answer on this work.
Also there is a project task for students to make their own land art outcome and examples to be inspired from.
A sculptural project or life drawing project inspired by the famous British artist, the drawings of Henri Moore.
Looking at the ink wash drawings of Henry Moore in detail his presentation shows loads of examples of the way he sketched his body shapes and looks at the way he simplified the bodies into organic shapes.
This is a good presentation to show KS3 how to simplify and to distort drawings of different poses into organic shapes. This can be used for KS3 making abstract body sculptures and shows how to reduce, simplify, re-arrange and to distort drawings into a pleasing harmonious shape.
It can also be used for A-level students doing life drawing and giving ways to explore different wax resist techniques with ink washes.
There are loads of pictures of Henri Moore’s Drawings and hopefully will inspire outcomes and enable students to develop some confidence when drawing figures.
This presentation can be bought with the Life drawing presentation.

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 to use their photograph and develop the bright colours and cultural identity in the portrait.
To use cultural patterns and to create a self identity photo portrait.
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Cultural awareness of our differences
Understanding of different styles and using digital photography creatively with patterns

This is a lesson for year 7 who are learning to shade and to create a 3D form. This is the start of a Scheme of work (Powerpoint one) where students draw a pebble and then eventually make a tile in the shape of their pebble and design a relief surface based on Hundertwasser.
There are three powerpoints on Tes in a bundle linked to this unit of work or you can use it as a drawing exercise to learn to shade 3D forms.
This is a short example showing different steps to get a 3D sphere form and using tonal values to develop this form. There are exercises on markmaking and how to create a tonal value. There are the main breakdown of what is needed in a sphere in tones: Light, light grey, middle grey, dark grey and black with reflected light. There are examples of showing how to shade in the direction of the form.
Learning Objective was:
To create a presentation on an A3 sheet of your observation drawing studies showing volume drawing of pebble
To learn to draw 3D geometric shapes and firstly practise mark making and a range of tones in media: charcoal.
To develop observational drawing techniques.
This follows with Powerpoint Two and Three where students then begin to :
Present preparatory work on a page and to plan a design for clay tile.
