Animals in paper art, photoghrapy manipulation of animals, Painting animals, Plastic animals and paper mache artists. Students work in groups and each group makes a different way of making a set of animals. This is a fun activity for KS 3 Art project or an after school club.

These are lists of words and pictures to match. There is also a definition, an explanation of the pictures. Use this in the classroom in a Medieval Fantastic creature / Bestiary project where you get students to research the images of their own - or use the images provided with the lists to play a game in the classroom.

Examples of Cubism showing the close up detail of markmaking and analysis in the works of the Cubists. By developing their painting into textural surfaces with sharp lines to mimic the Cubist analytical works. There are examples of Cubist works with reference to mark-making in the cubist shapes and using tones. Adding scraping paint with combs, and making paint textural marks to create a variety of mark-making effects. This powerpoint links with Cubism No.1 Cubism No 2. and Cubism No 3 and No 5.

Students in Cubism No. 2 have made a collage of a celebrity and in this powerpoint students begin to paint this in the style of the analytical cubist artists. Students use a limited colour scheme like the Cubists and choose two complementary colours. Students are shown how these colours cancel each other and how to create interesting colours through mixing thse colours and adding white and black. There are examples of various complementary outcomes and students are given key terms to use in relation to colour. Degraded colours, tint, shade,…

This is a project for A-level students starting with looking at Geometric Abstraction and the use of the colour ‘White’ in the work of modern abstract artists. This will help students to develop their own personal theme. This is a good starting theme for A-level students or IB students and gives them a process or idea to start with in order to develop their own personal outcome. It gives some examples to prompt the students to start thinking of: What is Abstraction, Conceptual Art, Cubism Abstraction and Geometric Art? Students are asked to research various artists who show Geometric abstraction and ‘white’ from the Islamic artists to Kasimer Malevich (Suprematism), Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian. The project continues giving the A-level students some practical tasks to develop the idea of how to paint a ‘white’ object. There are also examples of some contemporary artists who use geometric abstract shapes and abstraction in nature. Students should be asked to find their own artists they like who use Geometric abstraction and white. Students then explore artists who have used white and look at how they use white in a textural way. Students can look at Robert Rauschenberg. Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. Students choose one artist and make a booklet exploring their analysis of the artists and the way they use white, but also an experimental booklet showing how to show ‘white’ textual surfaces. Students also take photographs of objects which are ‘white’ to develop further using different media and then subsequently to develop their own final piece based on their own personal research into the subject ’ white’ and ‘geometric abstraction’. Examples of student’s work is given to help students explore various media to develop their own personal ‘white’ outcome. There are also examples of final pieces of A-level students who tried to paint something white showing how they used pastel colours in their finals to develop their outcomes.

Making something out of the resources you have at home. This gives a visual list of resources you can use at home to draw with, paint with and make 3D forms with. Good for GCSE students and above for they need to explore a number of techniques for assessment objective. There are videos to motivate and to demonstrte and there are examples of different types of art you can do. Think of some ideas for making art out of cardboard, recycled containers, toilet rolls, toilet paper, old books, magazines, old clothes, wool, ear buds, toothpicks, straws, stones/plants. It also suggests you could also on your phone make a piece of artwork using a photo and an app or draw on your phone. This is to inspire and students to decide what you are going to make…….

This is a powerpoint on Aminah gives a worksheet to analyse this fabric artist. This powerpoint links to two other powerpoints where students make a Xmas collage. Aminah used her artwork to celebrate and memorialize the neighborhood of her childhood – Poindexter Village in Columbus and her journeys to and from her home. In drawings, paintings, sculpture, puppetry and music boxes, she reflected on themes of family and ancestry, and on the grandeur of simple objects and everyday tasks. There are questions on this artist and students make their own Xmas collage linked to a song. (see bundle)

This is a standardisation test for KS 3 testing drawing skills. You will need to as a teacher to resource the following for students: Year 7 Thick rope tied up, Year 8 Piece of fabric square with a peg or/and ribbon or a paintbrush to replace peg, Year 9 Xmas baubels or large spoons that have a reflection. This did not cost too much to put together for a yearly assessment. Year 7: Rope drawing - looking at the ability to create volume with tone and then to add in the pattern lines of the rope texture with the volume effect. Some students are able to capture good line patterns showing good design skills and line qualities. More able students are able to capture the volume. Year 8: Peg/large paintbrush and Fabric drawing - This is an exercise in capturing the volume, pattern and shading and accurate perspective drawing of the peg. Some students are able to show this more accurately and can show good tonal variations and the illusion of the 3D form in the peg and the brush. The lovely use of colour in the fabric supports students with strong design skills and pattern Year 9: Self identity drawing a portrait in a spoon or a bauble supports a theme on Self identity in year 9 and students can re-fine their skills in drawing themselves carefully in a bauble. Looking at volume and accurate tonal shading to draw a sphere with the distorted self portrait. Students enjoy capturing themselves having learnt about portrait drawing they can begin to excel in trying to create an illusion of themselves.

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.

This powerpoint focuses on further gaining an understanding of Cubism and its use of multiple viewpoints. Students analyse Analytical examples of Cubism and write this in their book and refer to different key terms to use in Cubism like, multi-faceted, layering, multi-viewpoints, fragmented, geometric shapes. Terms are given ready to print and examples of analytical works ready to print. Students are also shown how Picasso simplifies and stylises his subjects. There are examples of some celebrity pictures where students need to break this up into geometric shapes and re-collage the shapes on an A4 paper. This is a c omposition to trace and where students will need to paint in a further lesson, compose an outcome to paint and analyse into a cubist analytical painting. Students to gain an understanding of Analytical Cubism and how to fragment a picture into geometric shapes To make a collage of a famous celebrity artist and to complete presentation on Cubism in books. After this task students simplify this collage into a tracing of collage getting ready to paint this into simplified shapes. See Cubist No.3. SUMMARY OF THE FULL PROJECT BELOW This is a series of powerpoints 5 lessons for 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. Students then further develop this into a 3D sculpture and make a construction mobile cutting a copy of the painting into shapes.

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.

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.
