Teaching Art is a feast into a of colour, line, texture, space and shape. By encouraging a visual exploration in my learning I love developing a creative approach to learning in the classroom. By encouraging different techniques and an understanding of art I hope to help students appreciate visual learning more. I hope you enjoy my uploads and can use them. Please contact me if you require any further information.

‘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 support for teaching GCSE art
A number of powerpoints on individual artists to use as part of Developing ideas for Assessment Objective One.
Learning skills in Art
Acrylic painting with card - Viera Da silva
painting layers and using Gold - Victoria Crowe
Photocopy drawing with Chila Burman
Klimt patterns
Transfer medium with Robert Rauschenberg
Tim Burton drawings and fantasy art
Printing with Angie Mitchell relief prints
Figure drawing and simplification using Henry Moore
City street painting with Lowry
Peter Blake graphic CD cover
Photography of Cindy Sherman
All of these tasks will build skills for GCSE final project
Starting in year 9 and year 10 begire students choose own topic to develop
This is a set of Three Key Stage summary sheets with evaluation sheets for all the projects. It sets out the project details - three projects per year group. year 7, year 8 and year 9:
Year 7
Unit 1. Diagnostic- Styles
Construction
Unit 2.
Hundertwasser
Clay tile
Unit 3.
Modern Movements-mixed media
Year 8
Unit 1.
Go – Wild
fabric
Unit 2.
Drawing and mod-roc
Unit 3
Paper coiling and Zentangle design
Year 9
Unit 1.
Portrait
Unit 2.
Surrealism
Unit 3.
Painting
Each slide describes the skills in each project and helps with students making a final evaluation of their work and target setting.
Some of these topics are presented in other powerpoints of mine on TES.
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…….
These tasks relate to understanding the key building bricks in Art: Elements of Art and the principles of design and should give you 12 weeks of tasks for students to make two booklets.
Making a booklet on the elements of art and then one on the principles of design.
Understanding these key terms helps in enabling students to write about art and if this is completed at Key Stage 3 can be a real help at GCSE and A-level
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 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)
Attached are three powerpoints for developing a KS3 Collage in Fabric on the 12 Days of Xmas and the artist Aminah Robinson.
Students use the ‘resources’ powerpoint to draw ideas to make up their own design for the 12 days of Xmas.
Class divided and each child gets a different day to design.
I used Black velvet fabric as my backing fabric and each time the student did their drawing I traced this onto different coloured fabric shapes and students then cut this out and pritt sticked this onto the black velvet fabric.
see powerpoint of song '12 days of xmas ’ for resources
see powerpoint Artist interpretation and learning about different fabric artists.
see powerpoint on stitchung techniques
Thirdly, students then cut their designs out in fabric - I used transfer receipt like paper so students could trace onto the fabric and then cut out.
Finally students then embellish their fabric with different stitches and I have a powerpoint with video links on how to do the different stitches: running stitch, blanket stitch, satin stitch, chain stitch and daisy stitch…
