GCSE Digital Art Lesson - Michael Craig Martin

Michael Craig Martin in a Pop Artist who creates compositions using every-day objects.

Required:

• Computers
• Every-day objects line drawing
• Access to Adobe suite
• Printers

This lesson can be completed in one to two hours, and requires a simple pattern made using line drawings (please see my other resources) students will learn how to use quick commands, and basic functions in Adobe software.

During this lesson, students will use their drawing to create a colourful, repeating surface design, which can be applied to textiles, tapestries or garments in Photoshop.

Students are shown step by step how to insert their design into Illustrator, vectorise their lines and then use Photoshop to add colours to their work, using an online colour palette generator.

Students can then duplicate their design and produce a repeating pattern.

Assessment objectives are also referred to, from the EDUQAS exam board (this can be adjusted for alternative exam boards)
