This is a full unit of work on Still life. It starts with an appreciation of what was before there was Modern Art and students draw a mindmap in their book. There is a wealth of pictures of still-life objects to draw from so teachers can just copy the slides for students to work from. Students will need to do a mark-making exercise in pencil and pen and complete two drawings of the objects. Students then look at how to use chalk and charcoal on black paper and do a study of Still-life in the Dutch era by looking at the ‘vanitas still-life’s’ and do a skull drawing using the chalk and charcoal. Students will also need to practice markmaking in this technique. Students then go on to look at Pop Art and what happened with the development of photography and the influence of this consumer style on the art world. There is a study of Pop Art and students will be able to have an opportunity to look at what makes up Pop Art. The students need to make up a Pop art style, coloured collage in coloured paper or use felt tips to create an object in Pop art style. There is on this powerpoint a wealth of objects for students to draw from and this can be printed off for students. Finally students put this together into a finished still life arrangement and there are lots of student examples for you to use. I hope you enjoy this project.

To find out about who was Ai Weiwei and some key examples of his work and to find out what makes him one of the most famous artists in China. He is the only artist in China known to the West as he pushes boundaries, makes the authorities more aware and is an Activist. The powerpoint gives examples of a number of his artworks to look at and is an informative powerpoint highlighting key works of Ai Wei Wei and some video clips which give a background to his life. Learning Objective To give students a background into art as being a statement to reform society, to see an artists who works as an activist to make statements about the corruption in the Chinese Government.

Ai Wei Wei’s work have a meaning and relate to events in society and he uses Art to change society.

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.

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.

**Self -Identity portrait project. ** This is lesson 1 where students take their own photo and then start to do a drawing of parts of the face. There are examples of face details and then there is an example of how to scale this up. There is a homework biro drawing task. (In the Bundle there are other lessons to follow up on this drawing of task, where students have to interpret their face in various artist styles and culturally interpret their own identity. ) Lesson objectives Objectives To draw the proportions of the face in your book To do a photo-shoot and take a photo to use for your portrait drawing where you scale up this picture. To consolidate how to draw parts of the face. To do a pencil tonal value To practise mark-making with a pen Through out the whole scheme the project **success criterias **are: To learn about the proportions of the face To practise drawing various parts of the face To draw a portrait drawing using the grid technique To look at various examples of portrait drawings To develop a tonal grid and to understand the light and dark planes in a face. To understand how to do a grid drawing

To understand what the elements of art are: line, shape, colour, texture, space,value and tone and where PATTERNS appear in nature.To learn about different terms in pattern making and how to make a repeat designTo make a page of patterns, combining cultural patterns and everyday patterns Create a title on your page called ‘Pattern’ Describe the word pattern using keywords- looking at examples of patterns and how one makes a pattern Students are asked to list 3 areas where pattern can be recognised in everyday life. There is an understanding also in slidesto explain what the elements of art are, line, colour , shape and how to make patterns Students are asked to research the internet pictures that show different words relating to patterns students are given tasks to make a display slide on a Powerpoint showing the following patterns. Students research the names below and find an example of this type of pattern online - then save a copy of the picture. Students make their own powerpoint on PATTERN and write out the words below of different patterns and paste an example of this pattern ,on a piece of paper to draw your own pattern for each. Flowery pattern Geometrical pattern Variegated pattern Organic pattern 5.Linear Pattern Symmetrical pattern Radial balance pattern Informal balance pattern Check pattern Animal pattern Paisley pattern Chevron pattern.

This is a step by step drawing of a cupcake - showing how to start with basic shapes and then adding in the detail and the shading. This is part of the modern movements project where students make a cake stand with various cup cakes in different art styles linked to modern movements: Expressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Fauvism, Realism, Surrealism. It also has some slides showing how to do some mark-making exercises to build up students ability to control pencil skills and to capture detail. Students can also draw from a picture of a cup-cake or preferably have a real cup-cake in front of them to draw from. Students can also use the grid method to draw a cupcake and there is a picture of this technique to help.

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.

This is a source to show students various art styles and examples of artists who do interesting portraits. It starts with Frida Kahlo and then goes through all the important portrait artists like Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Van Gogh, Picasso and then takes through a number of other artists with interesting styles, Hundertwasser, Gary Hume, Chila Burman, Sonya Boyce, Leger, Picabia, Dali and much more. To be used as presentation to introduce students to artists who paint portraits in different styles. Could be printed out as laminated sheets for students to see different portraits.

This is a lesson for self identity project after students complete the scaling up of their face in pencil. Using a photocopy students then do a mono-print of their face and later interpret this into an artist style. There are also some links to You tube clips of different ways to do the mono-print. To do a set of three monoprints using one’s photograph to draw with To do 1. a line drawing of one’s portrait carefully following the detail of portrait. Use one’s fingers to create some tonal areas To do 2. a line drawing of ones portrait and then in the ghost print to draw into this surface and to print this To do 3 a line drawing of a portrait but to lay a stencil on your ink block before you do the print.

Tasks to develop drawing skills and giving examples and exercises to develop line qualities in drawings. Looking at various types of lines and ways of drawing with artists examples this is a great project for year 12/13 -AS and A-level class to develop confidence and skills in sketchbooks. A good way to build skills in art. Gives a variety of tasks and inspiration with a wealth of different lines to use. Using different types of lines to draw with like, contour lines, pattern lines, expressive lines, structural and modelling lines, diagrammatic lines planning and plotting lines and with examples to support the learning. There are lots of little exercises to develop confidence in drawing with lines.

**What are the Learning Objectives for this project in Art? ** Students learn from examples and a clear understanding to totem poles is explained visually in slides, also different video clips about Totem poles and their story telling. There are slides which give a background to totem poles. Lots of symbols for different animals given on separate slides which could be used ot make the totem pole. Students through the research into totem poles will gain an appreciation of how religion and spirituality holds in Native American cultures. Students will be able to communicate experiences, moods, and stories and reflect on their own family history and family tree in a group project. Students to create images using the elements and principles and design their totem imaginatively. Using pictures of animals - students can stylise and create a symmetry outcome to use in the building of their animal/sun/bird/man for their totem pole. Each student completes a different part of the totem pole and students need to work in teams Students create images in response to objects from a variety of cultural contexts as students look at and watch various ‘You Tube’ video links about the Totem pole story telling. Students demonstrate awareness of Pacific Coast heritage The slides give a sequence of classroom activities leading to the making of a cardboard totem pole. Students use recycled materials and build their animal/bird/sun/man they designed. There is an emphasis on coloured paper and pasting this into the cardboard and building up the structure. Students will complete the following: **Teamwork: **Complete a group totem pole. Graphic Design: Design a group/tribe logo. Independent Research: Interview a Family member and research family history 3D Sculpture Design: Design a totem sculpture that represents your family history in 100 years time. Recycling materials: Students use recycled materials and construct a standing Totem. Students can embellish and decorate their totem with coloured paper cut outs and black pen line work.

Firstly consolidating watercolour skills in this project the powerpoint then goes to look at the artist called Hundertwasser. Looking in depth at Hundertwasser, developing an Artist Study presentation after going to the computer room to find information on this artist and to analyse one picture of his work. Students are then asked to on four separate sheets to draw out the key symbols and elements in Hundertwasser’s work. . Students are then given pictures of buildings and asked to continue to apply his style and to make some drawings inspired by his work. Examples of all these are given with student examples. This project then further developed into making a clay tile after formulating an orignal own interpretation of Hundertwasser. There are plenty of student examples for you to look at. I have also added further extension tasks on Hundertwasser and some further interesting facts about his work. OBJECTIVES To develop an understanding of the work of Hundertwasser by studying the elements from Hundertwasser’s work. To copy some of Hundertwasser’s symbols with your pencil. To draw out Hundertwasser’s Onion domes, Lollipop trees, Faces and Spirals. To draw out a large picture of Lollipop trees of Hundertwasser and to use colour on this To use pictures of buildings and then to imaginatively interpret one’s own version of Hundertwasser using the research ideas completed into his use of symbols Students make up their own design of Hundertwasser in pencil and then in colour. To make a clay tile based on the design steps above- examples of student outcomes are given. Task 1 ‘Key Elements in the Art of Hundertwasser’ Copy out the picture given on slide 3 and label the key elements Hundertwasser uses in his work. You may use any materials you have to do this. It can be in colour or black and white with your pencil. Do this carefully.

This tasks help to assess abilities and specific skills in Art. This helps to establish a Baseline Assessment for Art after having completed all these exercises. This should take 10-12 lessons. Please work through each exercise carefully. The aim of this diagnostic assessment is to look at specific skills used in art. This diagnostic study is to try to assess different skills in Art. The tasks given are for the different learning/skills in art and it allows the pupils to explore these. There are tasks given for each area of learning. Areas of learning with task: ILLUSIONISTIC learner: draw illusionistically, blind drawing and upside down drawing exercises. CARTOGRAPHIC learner: draw a personal logo (black and white pattern)(use on art books as a name tag). TACTILE learner: Looking at Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Chris Ofili and Hundertwasser’ portrait works, their use of lines, shapes, colours and textures. Pupils will choose one of these artists to develop in a tactile way using re-cycled materials. SPATIAL learner: drawing with wire and string, assess whether good at sculptural form. Furthermore, assess the students ability to write ANALYTICALLY and to critically analyse a painting… The pupils will also need to self assess and evaluate their outcomes. At the end of this exercise we would be able to assess pupils strengths and weaknesses in art at KS 3 and there are many opportunities in the presentation for evaluation. How to create an illusionistic space and to draw from first hand observation using blind drawing skills, contour line drawing, upside-down drawing and mark-making. Focus on how to shade using dark and light tones with pencil and biro pens and focus on mark-making. 3 a To critically analyse other artist’s styles and techniques and select and question critically, making reasoned choices when developing work from observation. 3 b. Explore tactile qualities and select a range of materials to interpret a style of an artist. Develop a portrait using tactile materials. Investigate how to express ideas using design skills and design processes and the formal elements like line, colour and flat shapes with patterns Exploring drawing with a 3D structure and looking at shape and line with construction of wire developing spatial recognition. Analysing an artwork and investigating the formal elements used in an artwork. Reflect on and evaluate one’s own and others’ work, adapting and refining the outcomes. Presentation should also be assessed at the end of these exercises. Students should also always write a heading and the lesson objective clearly at the top of each page. There are clear evaluation sheets and assessment opportunities in the unit of work. All tasks are presented with Lesson Objective and clear practical tasks.

German Art Historian, Heinrich Wolfflin in his “PRINCIPLES OF ART” (1915) isolated five opposing factors which he defined as the difference between High Renaissance and the Baroque style. This can further relate to the contrasts in MODERN ART MOVEMENTS There are the 5 main ways of interpreting forms with examples of the work of Heinrich Wolfflin that is: 1. painterly, linear, 2. closed, open, 3. planes and recession, 4. multiplicity, unity, 5. clearness and unclearness. Wolfflin supports a theory on ways of analysing a painting and examples of style which he formulated between the Renaissance and Baroque style and this gives a good interpretation of the differences in ways of depicting a subject. In the slide presentation examples are chosen to show the differences in style and hopefully students begin to understand the terminology used and begin to look at the ways different works are composed. The styles of Wolfflin also link to modern art movements like for example, painterly characterizes the work of Pierre Bonnard, Francis Bacon, Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh, Rembrandt or Renoir. Linear characterizes the work of Vermeer or Ingres. The Impressionists and the Abstract Expressionists tended strongly to be "painterly”, while movements such as Pop Art or photo-realism emphasize flatness and could be referred to more as linear. This also helps A-level students find their particular strengths and to make them reflect on what particular style they enjoy doing in their own work and gives them an excellent sense of vocabulary to use when analysing artworks and gives them an understanding of using art vocabulary when critically analysing their own and artist’s work. Students after reviewing the following slides on Wolfflin’s theory and discussing what the differences are in style begin to formulate their own essay on style using 2 artworks of your choice. TASK: Write an essay on two different artworks and analyse the composition and structure of the artwork in relation to the theories of style of Wolfflin. Begin to not only discuss the visual appearance of the subjects but try to relate this to the influences and background of the particular artists you choose.

This is a powerpoint of some of Rauschenberg’s work so that GCSE students can explore transfer techniques while making an artist study of his work. There are examples of how to do the transfer technique but also helpful question sheets for analysis of the artist for GCSE objective - ‘Develop ideas…’. Lots of examples of Raushenberg are given and each child should be given one of his work to copy. Students should then make their own Rauschenberg example using their own project topic and own photograph and practice the transfer technique and paint washes of Rauschenberg. There is a detailed critical analysis - lots of questions for students to make a comprehensive artist study in their books.

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 good powerpoint for basic foundation course on different elements of art - starting with Point - it gives you a number of exercises to explore this element as a creative element. Lots of exercises and different artists. An excellent starting point for A-level art looking at the basics of a mark and how this effects the negative area.

Lots of examples of Lowry's work and his early drawings and the effect of the Industrial revolution on his work. Students should come to understand his work through the selection of work on the presentation and can do their own version of Lowry working on white painted card or use for GCSE artist for a theme on Architecture. There is also the famous song 'Matchstick Men and Matchstick Cats and Dogs' by Brian and Michael linked to the presentation. Students get an insight into this prolific artist of the working class in Manchester and begin to understand the effects of the Industrial Revolution in the North.

Year 10 Art - a set of slides to give an overall course program for GCSE. Working through all the objectives - Develop, Explore, Record and Present Under each objective a list of tasks with reflection sheet to write up progress as students work through the key areas of the course. This is a scheme of work for students to use.
