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.

These are important skills for Key Stage 3
There powerpoints aim to develop the following skills below and in so doing develop confidence in drawing
Line exercises with blind, contour, gestural drawing skills
Upside down drawing -how to copy
Sphere drawing - teaching tonal drawing
Drawing to create an impact with pattern and different techniques - feather drawing
Portrait drawing - looking at proportions in a face drawing
Fun- confident line combining a photo in drawing
In this unit of work studenrs will first of all learn about Hundertwasser and his particular style and then make a clay outcome.
The powerpoints
Drawing exercise - drawing a sphere
4 Tasks to copy symbols and elements: ‘Hunderwasser exercises’
Analysing Hundertwasser and the meaning in his work
Interpretation and makinga a colourful outcome to use as a basis for clay tile: ’ Hunderwasser syymbols/elements’
Making a clay tile
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.
