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

A comprehensive drawing powerpoint with different tasks on developing drawing skills, discussions, mark-making exercises, different techniques, methods and examples to support observation skills in the classroom. To use with GCSE and A-level students to develop their skills in looking at drawings and discussing their techniques but also doing a variety of different tasks to develop their own recording skills. Learning to work with continuous lines, blind drawing, structural drawings, shading techniques, gestural drawing and free mark-making. The powerpoint has examples of drawings of a number of artists like, Paul Seurat, Frank Auerbach, Rembrandt and Van Gogh and gives a number of opportunities to learn from these artists and gives different methods to use to strengthen one’s drawing skills.

A powerpoint outlining some tasks for a Key Stage 3 project on Tim Burton. In this project there are a number of skills, pencil drawingwith pen work, chalk and charcoal drawing on black paper, making a black and white silhouette cut out, collaging harcoal drawing onto bottle and painting bottle, further developing a character on a bottle and making a wool paper character. This also has a few quizzes and student examples of work to support the tasks. Starting with presenting a title page for Tim Burton and copying some of his scenes by practising pencil tone and mark making. Layering pencil and black pen in drawing when copying Burton’s work Photocopy examples for students to work from to print off. Then developing a cut out in black paper looking at the strange, Gothic type black and white silhouettes of some of his scenes and making a page on his settings using black paper and cut-outs. The slides give a number of the silhouette type scenes for students to use for inspiration. Further developing a character drawing and students are to look at the number of different slides and these could be printed off for students and letting them develop their own character. Some of the You tube film clips are linked on the slides as well. Students draw out the character and then colour this in. Tim Burton’s scenes are often dark and atmospheric and this is an ideal opportunity to practise drawing with white chalk, charcoal or black soft pastel on black sugar paper and to do a drawing of one of his black and white characters. There are some examples to use to copy from to support the students learning. This black and white scene can further be photocopied and collaged onto a bottle. There is also an extension task to make a head on a wine bottle in paper-mache and lots of inspirational examples of student work Another fun task is to play with wool and paper and to make a rolled animal using newspaper in rolls and then wrapping wool around this and to bend into shape. This can further be embellished by adding bits and bobs like buttons, braid and other decorative details to develop a character type animal which has been inspired by Burton. There are a few quizzes and homework tasks as well.

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.

The powerpoint first of all gives you some techniques to use with paper and students to make a sample board of the techniques. Homework task: Zentangle …see powerpoint example Students then go on to draw out an insect and there are symmetry templates for you to use to develop insects. There are also lots of different resources and pictures of insects to use. Further task is then to build the paper craft techniques on the pen drawing and to make your relief paper insect. There are examples of different paper techniques and samples to develop. **Learning Objectives ** Using the topic given insects/birds the aim is to develop their paper art skills and to begin to make an insect. Also, to use skill of symmetry and practise drawing skills and to build a 2D relief insect using paper creatively. • To learn how to do various paper art techniques and develop ability to manipulate paper. • To explore a number of different paper craft activities, there are slide examples of techniques. coiling paper folding paper spiraling paper layering paper scoring paper embossing paper twisting paper rolling paper curling paper. • To EXPLAIN HOW TO carefully draw out insects using the symmetry insects as a guideline. • To cut out the shapes of insect drawing carefully • To explore paper techniques. **Resources ** Large square of re-cycled paper to paste the paper sample techniques on Glue – pritt stick and pots of glue Pencils, Scissors Magazine paper to use to make insects, Pens to draw with Tracing paper to help with symmetry drawing **ACTIVITY OBJECTIVES ** To make a sample board of different effects one can achieve when using paper as an art form. To develop a range of skills to use when working with paper artists and craftsman To learn to coil, scratch, spiral, fold, bend, cut and lift, twist, emboss, layer, cut, roll and manipulate paper To learn about different paper artists and craftsmen who work with paper as an art form. To learn to use paper and to craft various shapes and folds To learn to build a paper insect using the paper craft techniques, that is, to fold, score, layer, cut, emboss and coil a paper insect To do homework task: Zentangle insect. Examples of artists on the Powerpoint to help you to build a 3D paper sculpture with techniques Also various templates to help you to draw an insect - especially to develop your ability to use symmetry.

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.

This is a lesson for year 7 who are learning to shade and to create a 3D form. This is the start of a Scheme of work (Powerpoint one) where students draw a pebble and then eventually make a tile in the shape of their pebble and design a relief surface based on Hundertwasser. There are three powerpoints on Tes in a bundle linked to this unit of work or you can use it as a drawing exercise to learn to shade 3D forms. This is a short example showing different steps to get a 3D sphere form and using tonal values to develop this form. There are exercises on markmaking and how to create a tonal value. There are the main breakdown of what is needed in a sphere in tones: Light, light grey, middle grey, dark grey and black with reflected light. There are examples of showing how to shade in the direction of the form. Learning Objective was: To create a presentation on an A3 sheet of your observation drawing studies showing volume drawing of pebble To learn to draw 3D geometric shapes and firstly practise mark making and a range of tones in media: charcoal. To develop observational drawing techniques. This follows with Powerpoint Two and Three where students then begin to : Present preparatory work on a page and to plan a design for clay tile. Develop painting style like Hundertwasser (study the style of this artist) and use watercolours and understand what is a style in Art. To complete a clay tile and paint design on tile.

This is a slide presentation which explain how to make a fold out sketchbook and then gives tasks in each of the folds to do to make a creative sketchbook. Students will need to follow the slides and be selective what they would like to do in each of their 16 blocks of their A2 paper. The slide presentation has a lesson plan, a set of notes which need to be copied for the lesson and some collage sheets which need to be copied for students. It is a good year 9 project and can link to Self-identity project or used for GCSE to make a small drawing sketchbook to pull out in their sketchbook. Students enjoy making this interesting special fold out little booklet. Lesson Objective: 1.Discover what it is to be creative and how to apply this by following the prompts on the slides. 2. Make a fold out sketchbook - by following the instructions. 3.

This is a project where students are asked to choose an artist to study their style. Student’s question and develop an understanding of What is a style? Outcome of this project is that students in year 7 do their own portrait interpretation using the artists and create a mixed media collage based on the selected artist. There is an exploration on using a variety of media. Students develop their own skills exploring how to make their own portrait in the style of the artist. Students use a photocopy of a photograph of themselves to work from. There is an emphasis on experimentation and students can bring in found textures to collage. Students use the four artists to make a copy of the four artists styles in a grid on a page: Hundertwasser, Klimt, Ofili and Van Gogh. TASK 1 The first part of the project is the Artist Research in 4 grids. One for each artist. Students in the grid discuss the characteristics of each artist’s use of line, colour, shape and texture. There is an individual slide on each artist which highlights with close up pictures showing the markmaking of each artist. Teacher to go through each slide of each artist and copy the pictures as an example for students to work from. Students write out the name in each gird, how each artist has a different way of using their marks and then in the grid copies a detail of the artist’s work. This is completed in pencil crayons. Students can also use an object and interpret this in styles - there is an example Students also brainstorm words to describe the artist. Students also describes the use of elements in each work. Students also discuss the main characteristics of the artist and how they have used their line, colour, shape, texture and how the artist has composed the picture (that is, put it together). This should take 2 lessons - with students completing the work for homework TASK 2 Once students have analysed this they can go on to make their own portrait by choosing one of the artists. There are lots of examples of students work in this powerpoint to give examples of how to go about this project. Students to be given a photocopy picture of themselves to work from This should take 3 lessons in class. Objectives: Use of found textures, collage materials and paint to interpret a style looking at the way the student experimented with the use of materials to create the style Explore media creatively when interpreting artist. Develop vocabulary and to understand the different ways of using lines, shapes and colours and students begin to analyse the artworks critically describing each work. To begin to understand that each artist has their own way of interpreting their subject and each person has the own way of making their own style To analyse and interpret four different artist’s styles and begin to make a personal response to one of these artists. To complete a self- portrait in the style of an artist.

Looking at briefly two chapters of the famous John Berger book ’ Ways of Seeing’ It is difficult to summarise a book of such a wealth of knowledge and such a clever way of phrasing ideas. The slide presentation gives one a sketch of two chapters. Chapter one which discusses the image versus the photo, seeing versus words and there are a few quotes from John Berger but also the link to the You tube clips. This is a good A-level presentation and then to get the students to listen to the first two chapters on video clip. Students need to question how an image has lost its meaning through the advent of the camera and begin to draw a comparison of images before the camera and after the camera. Students should also look at how the way we have reproduced the female form through the ages from Antiquity to the 21st Century and think about the meaning of what it is to be nude and what it is to be naked. John Berger has a lot of ideas on this and there are lots of phrases from his book discussing this concept and showing some examples of this in some major artworks. One can never make justice of this incredible book but the slide show does allow for discussion in the class on important concepts and understandings we have of images in our time.

These are a set of 6 sheets which can be laminated for classroom tables to help students with writing about Art. These are lists of descriptive words linked to the Elements of art and the Principles of design. These will help students to be able to write about artworks and help to broaden vocabulary. There are also words to help with writing at GCSE and support with writing under the GCSE Assessment Objectives as well. There are also sheets to help with writing frames to support weaker students when they analyse and write about their artworks. This can be used with Key Stage 3, GCSE and A-level Leaving these on the desks in the classroom support literacy learning and help students with vocabulary.

This is a powerpoint which gives tasks to interpret the style of Hundertwasser. There are worksheets and information on the artist. This is part of a project where students design a tile shape in colour using a building phito as an inspiration and stylise this into their own design. Students then turn this into a clay tile outcome.

The project has examples of plant forms to look at and by using Ernst Haeckel and Nikki de St Phalle. The students begin to research their own design plant shape on a presentation sheet. This involves drawing with fine pens over a wash of colour.Examples are given in Powerpoint - lots of pictures of plants and examples of how to do a wash. Students can also do some Wax and scratch drawings of natural forms using wax crayons and oil pastels. Students then present these on a preparatory sheet- there are examples of this technique. Secondly students then using their own drawings (wax and scratch) of plants and Niki de St Phalle and Haeckel begin to do a design sheet for their monster plant. Resources needed: Plastic pot plants to stand the branches and plants in, withies, newspaper, tissue paper, masking tape, PVA glue to make paper mache glue, re-cycled card, re-cycled bottles, acrylic paints to decorate. The students study they work of Niki De St. Phalle looking at her biomorphic and colourful sculptures and then by using the her work as inspiration plan a design and build a 3D form using withies, found re-cycled plastic bottles and cardboard and construct a plant form in a large plastic plant pot as a basis. There are examples of outcomes and examples of skills to use in the buildong of construction, The powerpoint has lots of examples to use as inspiration and final examples of outcome.

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.

This is a summary for files - a 5 min Scheme of Work to help with having all the essential information required. This is my project Modern Movements - cupcakes where students make a cupcake in various different modern art styles: Expressionism - black and white polyprint, Neo-Impressionism stippling and dots with paint or crayon, Fauvism - splash arbitrary colours and learn how to use water-colour, Realism - pencil shading accurately, Surrealism - make a magical fantasy creature like Miro to go on the cupcake. There is a Scheme of work for this unit.
