For Art department heads and Art department leads: an example of a visual curriculum road map/pathway for an Art and Design department.

At my own department we have printed a copy to A1 for each classroom and for the corridor in the department.** If you found this resource useful, please leave a positive review :) Thanks**

Abstract Art project - Picasso, Mondrian, Cezanne

(0)
A 2D Abstract Art project that would take between 4 and 6 lessons and could even be the basis of a much longer project based on the work of Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, and Paul Cezanne. Students create a number of drawings of teapots and still life, then they spend time changing the shapes, forms, and colours, and add pattern to turn those initial drawings into abstract Art. Students are encouraged to abstract the shapes etc. as much as they wish and it is reinforced that there isn’t a wrong answer when it comes to Abstract Art. This project could be used to teach KS3 students or KS4 students. If you find this resource useful, please leave a positive review :)
