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.

Used for A-level students to develop their interest in ink-wash techniques by looking at the work of Renaissance artists. History of Art - Renaissance ink wash methods and outcomes. A discussion with loads of examples of their work and how they formed their compositions and developed their drawings. Also how to make home inks.

There are two tasks ; Making your name with zentangle patterns- there are student outcomes and sheets to support this activity. Students to work in groups making a letter to put together into a word. making a large cardboard letter and use paper craft- ~coiling and quilling to embellish Learning objective Students Learn to do lettering and patterns and to make a 3D constuction of letters Students learn to do block lettering : Every letter should be 3 blocks across and 5 letters down.

This is an examples of photographs of a sketchbook of an A* Art coursework project for an A2 student, who looked at experimental surfaces and textures to develop an exciting unique outcome. This was based on her nature photographs and showed a number of different layering techniques. The final piece was a window display made up of glue skins with layers and textures. There are references to artists she used as well.

This is a slide of lots of different images of pictures of portraits and figures. The next slide is of the vocabulary list and words to match with the pictures. Print the pictures out on a sheet of A3 and get students to match the visual and words. This is for any age group and relates to a topic on portraiture.

This is part of a set 5 powerpoints on Cubism, painting skills and colour mixing and constructing a 3D sculpture. This attached Powerpoint deals with the development of the 3D sculpture Powerpoint 1 Using a drawing of face break this up into geometric shapes and compose an outcome to paint and analyse a cubist analytical painting and develop and understanding of Cubism Powerpoint 2 Explore a mixing of colours, especially complementary colours and develop an understanding of contrasting colours Powerpoint 3 Practice painting skills and applying paint smoothly Powerpoint 4. Painting skills using a card Poweerpoint 5. Simplify and construct a 3D analytical sculpture from your painting and evaluate your putcome. The powerpoint gives instructions and examples to show how to cut and join this. Firstly pasting on cardboard a copy of the painting and then cutting this up in shapes and building a construction of form as a 3D sculpture This then becomes a construction of a 3D sculpture using cardboard to make a mobile or standing sculpture based on Cubism. To paste painting onto Cardboard Ceareal box and to paint the back of the box To finally construct with glue gun to form a hanging mobile. Evaluation of project This is a series of 5 powerpoints where students to learn to paint a Cubist painting using a celebrity picture and complementary colours. Students to gain an understanding of Analytical Cubism and how to fragment a picture into geometric shapes and then learn to paint it in complementary colours. Develop this into a 3D sculpture and make a construction mobile cutting a copy of the painting into shapes.

In this powerpoint there is cultural information on the symbolism of the peacock in Indian Art and a look at the peacock dance. Students make a peacock feather drawing looking at a few essential oil pastel techniques: sgrafitto, layering, blending, stippling. Students then are asked to evaluate this outcome and then as a whole class the second project on the powerpoint is that each student is now asked to make a peacock feather which could then be added to a drawing of the body of the peacock. Resources given to support this.This could be completed in any medium, pen work or watercolour or oil pastel. There are examples of different large peacock outcomes in different media and the teacher will need to decide how she would like to do this.

Students need to make their own CD cover of their favourite musician. Students to use a variety of media for final task.

Describe what type of lines, shapes, space, colour and textures do you see in the work. Try to add one word to the element …………… For example: Wobbly Lines, Dark Colours, Rough Texture, Mathematical shapes Wide Space ‘We are learning to develop your written work looking at a work of Michael Craig Martin We are learning to make a presentation of this in a powerpoint: We are learning to show slides which should include: Artist name, and pictures of his work, We are learning to write an analysis using questions on our slides We are learning to make our own response to the work using pencils, pencil crayons and felt tips We are learning to reflect on the work of Michael Craig Martin and how he has used still-life.’ Research On the internet students find examples of the work of Michael Craig Martin Choose two images by this artist, one you like and one you do not like. Students answer the following questions and display visually: 'Why do you like the first image? Why do you not like the second image? What bit in each photo do you look at first?" Students Choose one image to analyze and to use as the basis for their own drawing – the one students are asked to copy. Students evaluate: “What do you like about this artwork? Which section do you look at first? How are you going to copy this artwork (remember its your own version it, not a perfect copy)” Plan the layout of your page first in pencil, carefully. Presentation is VERY important! Title: ‘Line, Shape & Colour – Michael Craig-Martin. Decorate your page. Next copy one of Craig-Martin’s paintings using colouring pencils.Stufents ask the following questions: What are your most favourite objects? What objects do you use all the time? Are there any objects that you can not do without? Think carefully about these questions and find 4 images of objects on the internet You may using the internet or take you own photos. Try out different viewpoints, fill the photo with the object and photograph on a plain background. We are going to try to trace off the screen or draw objects with a pencil from the screen Why do we look at things in certain ways? How can we make objects look interesting? Can you guess the objects photographed from different angles? Divide your page into four sections. Title: Line, Shape and Form/Overlapping and Composition Now in each box you are to draw in pencil the outline only of your favourite objects. Try to draw the object four times, once in each block and try to draw a different viewpoint each time Remember to…………. keep the lines neat and clean. look carefully at the shape and form of each object. fill each box with the 4 objects and presentation is important. 4. layout and the way you overlap should be different in each block Find objects at home to use in your Michael Craig Margin Interpretation or objects on the internet to copy from Take at least 4-6 objects and try to combine them together Plan out a rough sketch first………. See example

A Key stage 3 project which starts with Figure drawing of class mates - lots of student examples to support and instructions for drawing. Students then look at modern sculptures and uses them to simplify their figures into abstract shapes. There are once more student examples and clear instructions showing how to simplify. It is important to get students to show the simplification of their figure drawing into an abstract shape. Students study 4 different sculptural artists - Further task involves doing an artist study on one of the Sculptors: Henri Moore, Anthony Gormley, Barbara Hepworth and Jean Arp and then students make a moodboard of their work. There are sheets for each sculptor showing some info and pictures of each sculptor. Then there is the making of the sclpture with video clip to explain how to build armature and how to make 3D form using paper mache - there are a lot of good examples of student figures Students then need to build the figure out of cardboard, papier-mâché, wire, straws and recycled objects and to decorate this with coloured paper, tissue paper and any other embellishments like buttons, beads and string. Furthermore there is the embellishment of the sculptures…development of design and pattern by looking at Aboriginal Art, Gustav Klimt, African Art, Beatris Milhaze and students have to choose one of these designs to inspire their figure and begin to decorate their figure. The students then draw out the simplified figure shape with the abstract colourful patterns and present this on a page in their sketchbook. Finally there is the development of this figure into a hanging mobile looking at the work of Alexander Calder and an evaluation.
