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.
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.
An visual reference to architectural features with reference to Classical Greek and Roman architectural features in Artworks, various building ornaments and different buildings.
There are lots of artists who have use classical architecture in their own art. Also lots of examples of artists and reference to examples of John Piper and his paintings on classical architecture and students could develop their watercolour techniques copying this artist. But there are a number of different artists to use to inspire students to develop their own technique.
Also, developing the style of John Piper in different techniques: for eg. wax painting, water-colour techniques.
**The resource includes: **
Examples of architectural artists
Examples of a student work collages of architecture Examples of student work of combining buildings into a collage
Resource sheets of architectural photographs of churches to use for studies
Resource sheets of different buildings ornamentations to use in collage
.
**Learning Objectives **
To develop a Classical Greek and Roman element in one’s work of art at KS3, KS 4 - GCSE Art and A-level Art
To study various examples of how artists have used these classical architectural elements in their works of Art
A look at various contemporary artists and how they have used the Classical elements and architectural features
To develop a collage combining photographs, painting and pen work.
Choose one of the artists and copy their style and collect examples of their work to use in your collage.
Take photographs of buildings in your local environment and use this in your collage.
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.
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…
These are a set of 6 sheets which can be laminated for classroom tables to help students with writing about Art.
These are lists of descriptive words linked to the Elements of art and the Principles of design. These will help students to be able to write about artworks and help to broaden vocabulary.
There are also words to help with writing at GCSE and support with writing under the GCSE Assessment Objectives as well.
There are also sheets to help with writing frames to support weaker students when they analyse and write about their artworks.
This can be used with Key Stage 3, GCSE and A-level
Leaving these on the desks in the classroom support literacy learning and help students with vocabulary.

We will be learning about Ben Heine and how he uses Drawings and Photography
Complete the questions attached:
Heading: Ben Heine
Create your own version of Ben Hearn.
IDEA 1
DOING A DRAWING IN A PHOTOGRAPH
Steps for success
Take a photograph and load this up on a Powerpoint.
Do a drawing to add to this photograph. Load this up on the powerpoint over the photograph. Remove backgrounds. Look at the examples of Pencil and Camera on slide 2 and 3.
You could try make it quirky, personal or relate to your situation.
It must not be an exact copy of the photograph but be combined in an original quirky way.
You may add in interesting ideas that change the photograph
IDEA 2
TAKING A PHOTO GRAPH AND ADDING IN CIRCLES
KEYS FOR SUCCESS
Take a photograph and DRAW over the photograph all the circles like the examples of Digital Circlism
Try to use your own photograph
Make it as unique as you can.
You could try make it quirky, personal and could relate to your situation.
Students learn to draw what is around them and simplify this into a basic painting
Students learn to use watercolour and explore techniques in sketchbook
Students learn about Henri Matisse and the random Fauvist use of colour
Students enjoy making a precious painting
Students learn about the basics in Art looking at the elements of Art
Developing an understanding of pattern
A good starter project on the basics in Art
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.
A project with a number of resources on Self-identity to support a portrait project and a digital photo print of a face or a photography outcome. Discussions on Cindy Sherman and Frida Kahlo and what is a stereotype. Also a presentation on how to go about making a portrait drawing .
This is the final part of a series of Still-life lessons where students do drawings in different techniques and then make a mod-roc outcome.
In this powerpoint the students go to a computer room and do a presentation on the artist LOUISE NEVELSON and then make a mod-roc outcome. Steps are showing how to make the mod-roc relief and criteria for success with this medium.
Students then evaluate their mod-roc outcome by doing a tonal drawing of this and reflect on the outcome
Computer room research: Louise Nevelson - students write and answer the questions and resource information on this artist.
After making the mod-roc students evaluate their mod-roc outcome and do a drawing of your outcome and as a group discuss how they will as a group present their own work like Louise Nevelson.
Learning Objectives:
To explore developing a relief surface of an area of my still -life drawing and develop this in mod roc technique
To build a mod –roc outcome looking at relief techniques
To in a group build your Modroc into a standing tower with the rest of the group.
Do a study of the artist Louise Nevelson and present her work by doing an artist study of her work.
Complete the project by doing an evaluation of their mod-roc relief sculpture and do a pencil drawing of this
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.
Looking at the work of Cindy Sherman in depth with all her major themes and developing one’s own photo-shoot and selfie and a history portrait
Cindy Sherman and her photographs and how she captures gender and stereotypical poses, Alter-ego images, Self-identity figures, Bus riders,
examples of History portraits, Film Stills, grotesque portraits and her Clown images.
There are 11 questions to answer on her work and students should look through the slides and answer the questions analysing her work.
Discussing what makes a gender? What are stereotypes?
The pictures show how Cindy changes her identity showing how we make our own identity and we are not born with it.
There are lots of examples of photographs by Cindy to inspire Year 9/10 and A-level students to question their identity and what makes an identity.
Students should
1 Set up a scene and capture a stereotypical identity they would like to capture or
2 Transform their image completely and to take on a new identity or
3 Capture themselves as they see themselves with all their own interests.
4 Develop a History portrait based on examples of Cindy Sherman.
Projects to develop an understanding of the basic elements and the use of pattern.
Also developing a printing project using a repeat pattern.
Developing an understanding of William Morris
Also looking at Japanese concept of pattern and the use of Notans
Students will create their own open window painting after been inspired by Henri Matisse
Students to write about Henri Matisse 'The open window ’ and understand what is Fauvism
Easy student examples - outcomes of watercolour designs
Clear step by step drawing of the windowdesigns and students left to add in own detail to make it more interesting
Students gain confidence in drawing using the simplified shapes of Fauvism and practise watercolour techniques
