This is a key stage 3 project where students do a polyprint on fabric using printing inks. This is a short 6 week project but could be developed to incorporate embellishments and sewing skills to fabric. I did this with year 8 and it took 6 weeks. Student enjoyed the outcome and it could have been made into a cushion for each student but we made a class fabric wall hanging. (There is a second Powerpoint in a Bundle which has all the pictures used for students to work from - A-Z of nature pictures) Artists used: Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel Resources required Polyprint blocks Printing ink Rollers Tables to roll out on Fabric square per child Paper for test prints Research sheet for drawings and artist research. Project schedule 6 weeks The resources for the students to work from. Each student chooses what they would like to draw. The steps to take while making the print and examples of student’s outcome. Students begin by researching Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel and make up a sheet with these two artists and their drawings. The drawings they do of one of the pictures of the slide pictures of animals and bits of nature from A-Z. Students choose which animal or fish or plant they would like to draw. Students spend time doing a detailed drawing and design a border pattern for this work in black and white. Success criteria of drawings To use fine lines and to capture quality detail To concentrate on negative and positive shapes To develop a border pattern from nature around the drawing To try to layer up your drawing with foreground and background shapes The students drawings are then photo-copied and transferred to the polyprint block. Students use the photocopy to press through onto polyboard. The students are given a square and a strip of polyprintboard . Students first of all experiment printing on paper with their design and border. Students can do a black and white print or do a polyprint print of two colours overlaying their inks. The slide presentation gives you also opportunities for reflection and evaluation of outcome at the end. I have presented my artists in my book I have compared the works of 2 nature artists I have written a short paragraph on the style of artists I have a careful line drawing of my subject I have created my own artwork based on my research of subject colour I have a plan for my print design and have written about relief printing I have tested working with polyprints Student outcome is a wall-hanging and we sewed all the students outcomes together to make a fabric collage of squares.

Aim to make a small A5 booklet ‘A Beastie Booklet’ and to draw various gargoyles in different techniques and to evaluate their pages. Aim to make a sculpture in clay of one of the their beastie designs. The powerpoint also allows students to look at Monster inc and Lisandro Demarchi and to design their own creative beastie or medieval creature. The powerpoint gives you lots of pictures of gargoyles and examples of student work and refers to different techniques students can do. It also gives a list what should be in the booklet. There is also an instruction sheet with video links to make a clay pinch pot and how to join this to make animal shapes. Finally there are examples of students display of their sculptures and booklets.

This is for all ages - showing how one can use found objects and recycle them to make creative designs. It is to inspire students to design a dress/ costume and to then find re-cycled materials to use. There is also a page of techniques- showing how to use plastics and fuse these with string, threads and to add in wax, pastels drawings. There are outcomes as well with the result of making the plastic fusion. Some good examples of innovative designers and how they have used materials to make dresses. This is good for GCSE for those students who want to make dresses or for a project on recycling and fashion.

Looking at the work of Peter Blake- there is a page of information and questions on his work. There are examples of his alphabet artworks and cover designs for Famous Music artists. Students are inspired by his work of collage, photography and free drawing style. Task 1. Students make their own Pop art alphabet style and this links to Graphics and students can look at Pop art letter styles. Task 2 Students are asked to find their own popular things linked to each letter of the alphabet. Students are asked to make their own alphabet using the similar ideas as Peter Blake, but to focus on trying to create a favourite thing for each of letter of the alphabet. Students then put these ideas on an A4 or A3 paper. There are examples of different alphabets and student examples of final outcome. Task 4 Students play with letters and take one letter and make this in various different designs This is a Graphics exercise and students learn to play with one letter and styles. Task 3 Students put a collage together in the style of Peter Blake. Students should use lettering/ graphics and link this to their own favourite things and then make a collage of this in a 26cm square shape. students can use pictures from magazines , comics and newspaper and cut out and collage. Task 5 Students should creatively now make their own album design. There are formats for the CD covers to use as a template. Presentation gives examples for inspiration of Peter Blake’s alphabet designs and album covers and looks at some of his famous Album cover designs. Students need to make their own CD cover of their favourite musician. Students to use a variety of media for final task.

A detailed project looking at developing a Still-life project looking at composition, rule of thirds, different techniques for each object with different art styles. Students firstly, study what is a Still-life and write up a definition for this. Students then look at what different styles in Art before Modern Art. Students look in detail at Dutch Still life and the Vanitas still-life. There is also some information on the Post Impressionist artist Paul Cezanne and his style of brushwork. A focus on what is still life?, then looking at Pop Art and what is pop Art? Students then answer questions on two Pop Artists: Michael Craig Martin and Patrick Caulfield. Students practise making a background on Pop Art in their sketchbook and answer the questions. Students develop their own Still-life and are told to bring in objects for their Surreal mixed media Still-life and their are examples of this. Students learn to compose a layout for their still-life final using a Viewfinder and the rules of third, Fibonnacci rule to help them construct a composition. Students develop their own Still-life and are told to bring in objects for their final arrangement. The emphasis is then to take them through different techniques with each object they brought to class. The techniques included in the project are: Wax and Scratch, Paper collage, Pop Art hard edge colours and outlines, Palette knife painting, Pencil shading and Pen drawing. There are finally student examples of final outcomes for this project to support the outcome.

This is a good place to start to understand what is colour and colour theory in the form of organising colours in a colour wheel. This i normally do in year seven but also go through again at GCSE - students should learn a large number of colour terms through this powerpoint. The powerpoint gives clear steps to making a colour wheel and then explains all the colour terms in depth, primary, secondary colour snd tertiary colours, with complementary and analogous colours. There are also more colour study tasks and more colour terms to understand, so it goes into more depth on different colours- including degraded colour, triads, hue, chroma, tint, tone, luminosity, lustre, neutral colours, monochrome and split contrasts. We will be learning to make a colour wheel We will be learning about colour terms We will be learning to make a colour wheel with paint, or with pencil crayons or with found objects We will be learning to combine a range of objects and arrange them in a colour wheel We will be making a drawing developing a mood by using colour There are also video clips on colour studies linked to tasks. Based on an understanding of colour there is a task to represent their own memories and feelings using colour, shape and pattern. “Try to close their eyes and remember an experience in terms of colour and form. Try to make visual notes in your sketchbooks. Make a painting which symbolises the experience let your feelings and memories come out by using different colours, shapes and patterns.’”

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.

Students will create their own open window painting after been inspired by Henri Matisse Students to write about Henri Matisse 'The open window ’ and understand what is Fauvism Easy student examples - outcomes of watercolour designs Clear step by step drawing of the windowdesigns and students left to add in own detail to make it more interesting Students gain confidence in drawing using the simplified shapes of Fauvism and practise watercolour techniques

This is the final part of a series of Still-life lessons where students do drawings in different techniques and then make a mod-roc outcome. In this powerpoint the students go to a computer room and do a presentation on the artist LOUISE NEVELSON and then make a mod-roc outcome. Steps are showing how to make the mod-roc relief and criteria for success with this medium. Students then evaluate their mod-roc outcome by doing a tonal drawing of this and reflect on the outcome Computer room research: Louise Nevelson - students write and answer the questions and resource information on this artist. After making the mod-roc students evaluate their mod-roc outcome and do a drawing of your outcome and as a group discuss how they will as a group present their own work like Louise Nevelson. Learning Objectives: To explore developing a relief surface of an area of my still -life drawing and develop this in mod roc technique To build a mod –roc outcome looking at relief techniques To in a group build your Modroc into a standing tower with the rest of the group. Do a study of the artist Louise Nevelson and present her work by doing an artist study of her work. Complete the project by doing an evaluation of their mod-roc relief sculpture and do a pencil drawing of this

This is a good exercise to teach students about symmetrical pattern design and to learn about an interesting culture in South Africa - the Ndebele. The powerpoint gives you loads of examples of their work and links to You tube clips and South African songs. Develop an understanding of the Ndebele culture through the links on the powerpoint. There are lots of examples of their work to inspire and enable students to develop their own symmetry pattern in the style of the Ndebele artists. There are questions and info sheets. Students will be able to make a symmetry pattern - a piece of jewellery as students Paint a piece of thin wood- cut into a shape. This is a good project for an ‘international project’ to develop a cultural awareness. Students design and make a symmetry pattern in the style of the Ndebele artists and then transfer this to a piece of wood shape.

A short presentation highlighting the key facts and characteristics of the German Expressionism. There are references to a number of artists, Edvard Munch, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rotluf, August Macke, Emil Nolde, Otto Mueller. Expressionism was made up of Der Brucke Art movement and Der Blaue Reiter - there are also examples of these artists linked to Expressionism. Der Blaue Reiter is Frans Marck and Wassily Kandinsky. Key examples given with notes about the movement to be used as worksheets for students.

The powerpoint gives key questions to ask under the theme of Self-identity and shows some examples of interpreting oneself in different styles - Picasso, Van Gogh, Gainsborough and Chila Burman. There are questions to use to make an artist study on chosen artist.There is a further brainstorm on what one could make as a final idea which would embody my identity and examples of student’s work.

The powerpoint consists of the following: Students will learn about Wassily Kandinsky and his abstract Art and be able to make their own version of Kandinsky while listening to four pieces of music. Task 1: Describing artwork tasks (slide2) Task 2: Answer questions on Kandinsky (slide 3) Task 3: Listening to music and interpreting this (slide 4) Divide your paper into 4 blocks as seen in the example and in your blocks you need to draw what you interpret while listening to the four pieces of music. Listen to the You Tube tracks of music - one at a time. While listening to the music in each block while you listen to the music you need to draw what the music makes you feel. (Copy the http address into search to hear music) That is, you need to Interpret the music by drawing shapes, colours, textures, lines, forms, images and what you feel the music represents.

An visual reference to architectural features with reference to Classical Greek and Roman architectural features in Artworks, various building ornaments and different buildings. There are lots of artists who have use classical architecture in their own art. Also lots of examples of artists and reference to examples of John Piper and his paintings on classical architecture and students could develop their watercolour techniques copying this artist. But there are a number of different artists to use to inspire students to develop their own technique. Also, developing the style of John Piper in different techniques: for eg. wax painting, water-colour techniques. **The resource includes: ** Examples of architectural artists Examples of a student work collages of architecture Examples of student work of combining buildings into a collage Resource sheets of architectural photographs of churches to use for studies Resource sheets of different buildings ornamentations to use in collage . **Learning Objectives ** To develop a Classical Greek and Roman element in one’s work of art at KS3, KS 4 - GCSE Art and A-level Art To study various examples of how artists have used these classical architectural elements in their works of Art A look at various contemporary artists and how they have used the Classical elements and architectural features To develop a collage combining photographs, painting and pen work. Choose one of the artists and copy their style and collect examples of their work to use in your collage. Take photographs of buildings in your local environment and use this in your collage.

Students are to develop creative drawing by analyzing and interpreting a variety of selected artists. Students will produce a drawing showing contextual evidence that supports the assessment criteria for the A Level course. This powerpoint gives the LESSON PLAN AT TH END OF THE PRESENTATION. Students to reflect on examples of copies of drawings of different MASTERS and illustrators and begin to analyse the types of shapes, lines and marks. Develop an understanding of signature styles of particular artists and the way the artist’s signature captures the intrinsic meaning of the artist. Students to develop an A2 sheet of drawings which shows the different mark making skills of a number of different artists; develop a still-life drawing which support a number of different artists marks. You must show evidence of research and of investigating and developing ideas. This should include visual work and, if appropriate, annotations or written work. Practical responses to the work of other artists, designers, craftspeople and photographers must show development in a personal way. ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVE:  develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding   Analysis Activity- follow Mark-making analysis of artists Put students into PAIRS give out an example of each of these artists drawing – photocopy to pair CULLEN AND AUERBACH, VAN GOGH AND POLLOCK FEININGER AND GILMAN NICOLSON AND MICHELANGELO   Students to describe the marks, the quality of the lines and shapes that define the artist.   Analysis Activity Feedback– Choose one of the works and will one of you in the group discuss this with the class. Other students may also add comments. TASK ACTIVITY Creative Practical Skills independently Students to choose 2 of the artists discussed or analysed in the groups and try to do a drawing now in the style of those two artists. With a ‘window frame’ students to draw in the style of the artist in a small frame on their sheet. Prompts Questions to Evaluate Drawing outcome What does it remind you of?  What does the work represent? Have any parts been exaggerated or distorted? What message does the work communicate?  What kind of marks does the artist use? What kind of shapes can you find?  What materials and tools have been used?  How does the work make you feel? Does the line, shape, colour affect your mood? What do you like about it Why? What don’t you like? Why? How might you take ideas to use in your own work?  What do you know about the artist? Does the work relate to the social or political history of the time?

Students learn about the Art history styles or a set of Artists and develop a project which has all of these styles in a final outcome. Different themes can be chosen as a subject which then includes all these modern art styles. In this slide presentation - there are examples of final outcomes: A ‘Still-life bowl’ with different fruit in different styles An ‘Interior of a Room’ with areas of the room in different styles and A ‘Cake Stand’ with cupcakes in different styles. IN THIS POWERRPOINT THE THEME IS FRUIT AND EXAMPLES GIVEN IN EACH STYLE. THE OUTCOME IS A BOWL OF FRUIT. In all of these the students combine all the styles to form a display of fruit. The powerpoint gives an outline of a number of art movements, Futurism, De Stijl, Pop Art, German Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Fauvism and students are asked to do a different style each week with a different technique and develop an outcome. Some of the possible outcomes are a Bowl of Fruit, an Interior of a room or a Stand of Cup Cakes. In each of these examples students use a different technique and style to make up their final. Students can work in groups to put this together as a final presentation or can work individually to create their final outcome. An excellent project and scheme of work for year 8 where students learn a number of skills but also learn about the Art movements and gain a deeper understanding of the story and history of Art. The presentation gives a detailed background to each style with artist examples and each week these styles can be discussed with the class. The key characteristics of each of the movements are carefully explained so that students gain an understanding of the movement.

A summary of objectives and the requirements for students to continue to do homework based on these. A few lists of homework ideas and a summary of what is required.

Words for Art and terms used for portraits.

A short glossary list of words and students to choose the correct answers. These can be printed and cut up so students could match the correct term.
