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. Painting skills using a card
Poweerpoint 5.
Simplify and construct a 3D analytical sculpture from your painting and evaluate your putcome.
The powerpoint gives instructions and examples to show how to cut and join this. Firstly pasting on cardboard a copy of the painting and then cutting this up in shapes and building a construction of form as a 3D sculpture
This then becomes a construction of a 3D sculpture using cardboard to make a mobile or standing sculpture based on Cubism.
To paste painting onto Cardboard Ceareal box and to paint the back of the box
To finally construct with glue gun to form a hanging mobile.
Evaluation of project
This is a series of 5 powerpoints where students to learn to paint a Cubist painting using a celebrity picture and complementary colours.

This is lesson 4 in the portrait project.
Students firstly do a pencil shading of their face using the grid technique and learn how to draw different parts of the face carefully.
Secondly students do a monoprint and this is in lesson 2 portrait project and they use their photograph to trace off into the ink to make the monopring.
Thirdly students then collage into the monoprint and use Paolozzi as an artist and collage into the monoprint.
In this powerpoint the student use one of their photographs and draw into the photocopy. Students look at the artist Chila Burman and look at the way she interprets her Asian and British identity. Students need to think about their own identity and the way they are going to collage into their own photo-copy.
Students use felt tips and draw into the photocopies making patterns and try to interpret cultural patterns in bright colours.
Your Learning Objective was:
To study an example of CHILA BURMAN n your book and describe what you see
Students to find out about CHILA BURMAN and begin to understand her Asian and British identity.
Students to use their photograph and develop the bright colours and cultural identity in the portrait.
To use cultural patterns and to create a self identity photo portrait.
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Cultural awareness of our differences
Understanding of different styles and using digital photography creatively with patterns

Collaging: Photographs of everyday items, patterns, favourite clothes, magazine text, Newspaper highlights, paint textures and close up of photos of household items: objects that show own culture and self-identity
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.
This is a key stage 3 project where students do a polyprint on fabric using printing inks. This is a short 6 week project but could be developed to incorporate embellishments and sewing skills to fabric. I did this with year 8 and it took 6 weeks. Student enjoyed the outcome and it could have been made into a cushion for each student but we made a class fabric wall hanging. (There is a second Powerpoint in a Bundle which has all the pictures used for students to work from - A-Z of nature pictures)
Artists used: Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel
Resources required
Polyprint blocks
Printing ink
Rollers
Tables to roll out on
Fabric square per child
Paper for test prints
Research sheet for drawings and artist research.
Project schedule 6 weeks
The resources for the students to work from. Each student chooses what they would like to draw.
The steps to take while making the print and examples of student’s outcome.
Students begin by researching Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel and make up a sheet with these two artists and their drawings. The drawings they do of one of the pictures of the slide pictures of animals and bits of nature from A-Z. Students choose which animal or fish or plant they would like to draw. Students spend time doing a detailed drawing and design a border pattern for this work in black and white.
Success criteria of drawings
To use fine lines and to capture quality detail
To concentrate on negative and positive shapes
To develop a border pattern from nature around the drawing
To try to layer up your drawing with foreground and background shapes
The students drawings are then photo-copied and transferred to the polyprint block. Students use the photocopy to press through onto polyboard. The students are given a square and a strip of polyprintboard . Students first of all experiment printing on paper with their design and border. Students can do a black and white print or do a polyprint print of two colours overlaying their inks.
The slide presentation gives you also opportunities for reflection and evaluation of outcome at the end.
I have presented my artists in my book
I have compared the works of 2 nature artists
I have written a short paragraph on the style of artists
I have a careful line drawing of my subject
I have created my own artwork based on my research of subject colour
I have a plan for my print design and have written about relief printing
I have tested working with polyprints
Student outcome is a wall-hanging and we sewed all the students outcomes together to make a fabric collage of squares.
This is for your Year 10 GCSE group and gives a summary of the GCSE course in two sheets. It is a very helpful sheet summarising each objective and the requirements and the amount of pages that are needed in your sketchbook.
There is also the writing framework required for artist analysis - objective one. There is also a brief outline of the principles of design and what students need to look for. Also there are helpful questions to help students evaluate their outcomes.
A must for GCSE Art and Design!!
The powerpoint consists of the following:
Students will learn about Wassily Kandinsky and his abstract Art and be able to make their own version of Kandinsky while listening to four pieces of music.
Task 1: Describing artwork tasks (slide2)
