50 Artists Primary pupils should know

50 Artists Primary pupils should know

(0)
Famous Western Artists Primary K-6 pupils should know. By this I mean that they should have seen images by these artists and remember key details about when and where they lived. These artists could support work done in other subject areas. All dates are approximate. It is not suggested that Primary K-6 students should know every artist on this list, but rather that they should know and understand the main movements and how art has changed. There is a great activity I have written that does this called my art timeline game which is available to download free from my website. There are also too many brilliant artists not mentioned here that I have omitted to keep things simple. By the time we get to Contemporary art you can pretty much choose what you like! The resource contains a link to all the images you need via Google Art Institute. ​

How can you teach pupils how to generate high quality ideas in art? What different types of ideas are there in art and how can you easily demonstrate to pupils what they look like? This entirely original concept has been produced by me from years of teaching original art.

Baseline assessment for Art

Baseline assessment for Art

I've revised and updated my baseline test to include measuring across the four main attainment areas of Making Skills, Ideas, Knowledge and Evaluation. My test takes only one lesson to complete plus one homework task and marking is done in the lesson itself. I've used this test for years and I know it works well. I was a member of the NSEAD Curriculum Writing Group that wrote the curriculum competencies, more formally called the: 'Framework for Progression, Planning for Learning, Assessment, Recording and Reporting 2014.’ For more fantastic art resources visit my TES store https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/paulcarney700

Four drawing lesson plan activities for you to use in your classroom that have stood the test of time as classic drawing exercises. Blind contour and hand blind drawing teach your students to look at what they are drawing not the paper, describing drawing teaches visual and oral literacy, whilst object in a bag teaches imaginative recall.

I designed this scheme of work nearly ten years ago and it is still as interesting and exciting now as it was then. It combines brilliantly with science lessons about life on other planets. It teaches young people how to design within design constraints, use their imagination and think about how different life evolves. Use it with my Alien Landscape project to get the full effect.

Mark Making in drawing

(12)
This is a great drawing lesson that really extends your students' understanding of drawing and helps them take their first steps into abstraction and expression. You might need to adapt it to suit the literacy level of your pupils, but it is suitable for Key Stage 2 or 3, in fact I've seen it adapted for KS1. Included in this presentation are links to artists work. For more fantastic art resources visit my TES store https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/paulcarney700
