7 WEEK SAMPLE Detailed Artist of the week powerpoint, and publisher/PDF A3 posters. Great for OFSTED showing how as a department you are celebrating and promoting Art and Design around the wider school and how you are promoting a wide range of Art and Design disciplines. Over the course of the year the resource thoroughly covers a wide range of Art and Design disciplines; Fine Artists, Painters, Sculptors, Conceptual Artists, Installation, Fashion designers, and Architects. It covers Artists from history and from different cultures, and men and women Artists.
Each week this resource includes a powerpoint with two slides about the artist in a refreshing and interesting way, including a range of their works and one of their works in greater detail. It also includes 2 PDF/Publisher A3 posters for display around the department or school. The detailed posters include Artworks by the artist (all of them different to the powerpoint), a quote from the artist, and also include a brief overview of the artist’s life and/or Art.
This resource could also be used as a bank of resources about a wide range of Artists for students to use as inspiration and reference for their GCSE/A level coursework.

Project that goes through the planning process of creating a surreal teapot, mug, or vessel. The powerpoint resources have examples of work by surreal sculpture artists, both contemporary and from Art history. The resources also have many examples of surreal teapots and guide students through designing their own teapot or surreal vessel to be created in clay.
The homework booklet that accompanies the project covers drawing and adding tone to 3D shapes and observational drawing aspect to support the project.
The project would suit students from years 7 - 10.
