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.

This is part of the self-identity project. Students firstly do a mindmap questioning and finding out about their own personal identity.
Students then do a monoprint and then use cultural images to collage into their monoprint portrait.
Then after this there is an extension to this project where students use Chila Burman and draw out a large body and in a group collage into this using tattoo patterns and symbols.
The Learning Objectives for this task is:
To develop into monoprinting cultural symbols and patterns.
Brief study of Chila Burman and looking at her collage work.
Cultural awareness of our differences and create interesting patterns and textures and symbols of our culture.
Understanding of different styles
Looking at a brief understaning of Tattoo art.
Appreciation of own patterns and self-identity
Collaging: Photographs of everyday items, patterns, favourite clothes, pictures of household items, objects that show own culture and self-identity
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

Students make a cupcake in each of the modern movement styles and make a cake stand at the end of the project. This is a set of powerpoints for each movern movement, Surrealism, Cubism, Expressionism, Neo-impressionism, Fauvism and Realism. It is a set of 8 lessons and then there is the Scheme of Work for the project.
For each of the movements students learn a different technique:
Surrealism- Splash Chance watercolour imaginary creature out of this to add to cupcake.
Cubism - geometrical shapes to shade light to dark to create angular cupcake over a collage made of newspaper. Realism - Tonal realistic shading to capture 3D form.
Expressionism-Black and white polyprint to capture the agitated marks of artists. Neo-Impressionism - using a stippling technique with paintbrush to capture fine mark-making.
Fauvism- random use of arbitrary colour to capture the bright spontaneity of paint marks.
At the end of the project students then choose a party theme and independently decorate their party plate with the cupcakes on this.
This is a Modern Art Movements project where the students make different cup-cakes in the different Art modern movement Styles and then make a cupcake stand with all the different cakes in the different styles displayed.
This is a powerpoint on the relief printing of Expressionist movement. The students use a polyprint block and make their own cupcake in this expressionist style and roll ink.
The students first need to understand the style of the project and learn what the specific characteristics of Expressionism is:
-the harsh agitated lines
-angular marks and the
-dark bright intense colour or just black and white woodcut prints of the Expressionist artists.
This is part of a project of Modern movements where students do all the different styles: Neo-impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism -etc. See the other powerpoints.
Learning Objectives:
To draw a detail of an Expressionist work or use the worksheets to colour in on Expressinism and in so doing develop an understanding of this ‘ism’
Worksheet to print off to describe the work ‘The Scream’ by Edvard Munch
To describe the style of Expressionism using key words.
To use the poloyprint and to make your own Expressionist black and white print of your cupcake in the style of the Expressionists.
This is a Modern Movements Art project.
There are a set of powerpoints for each movement.
Students make cupcakes in different Modern Movement Styles.
This Powerpoint is on the FAuvism Style where students use bright colours of paint at random to capture their cupcake. The students first of all try to understand what is the Fauvism style and look at some examples and then try capture this style in a cup cake to make a cake stand in the end.
Your Learning Objective was:
To draw a detail of a Fauvist artwork
To describe the style of Fauvism using key words.
To write down when Fauvism occurred and who were the famous Fauvist artists
To draw your own Fauvist style cup-cake using bright spontaneous colours of paint and bold outlines
This is a project on Modern Art Movements.
There are a set of powerpoints online relating to this project. The aim is to ,make different objects in separate modern movement styles
The task is to make a cup-cake in differnt modern movements and then to make a cake stand with all the different cup-cakes. This powerpoint is on making a pop art style cup cake using the flat colours, bright and outlined style of Pop Art. The students first try to understand the style in their books and then make the cup cake.
See the other powerpoints for this cup-cake project: on the different Modern Art movements : - Cubism, Surrealism, Expressionism, Neo-impressionism
These are the learning objectives for the project:
To draw a detail of a Pop Art work
To describe the style of Pop Art using key words.
To write down when Pop art occurred and who were the famous pop artists
To draw your own Pop Art style cup-cake
To trace this into coloured paper and make a paper art collage of a cup cake.
This is a project where Students interpret one object into different Modern movement styles. This is the style of Cubism when they do a cupcake in the style of Cubism and so learn about the art movement.
Learning Objective:
To develop a cup cake in the Cubism style
using a collage technique
To develop a drawing that shows geometric shapes and shading from light to dark in the shapes
This powerpoint gives you steps to follow for this lesson in class.
Students shade in geometric shapes over a newspaper collage - drawing their cup-cake in a geometric way.
Overall in the project.
Copying a detail from each Modern movement
Collecting a picture of each Modern movement
To understand some key words to describe each modern movements
To understand the key elements in Art: Line, Shape, Colour, Texture, Space
This is a step by step drawing of a cupcake - showing how to start with basic shapes and then adding in the detail and the shading. This is part of the modern movements project where students make a cake stand with various cup cakes in different art styles linked to modern movements: Expressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Fauvism, Realism, Surrealism.
It also has some slides showing how to do some mark-making exercises to build up students ability to control pencil skills and to capture detail.
Students can also draw from a picture of a cup-cake or preferably have a real cup-cake in front of them to draw from.
Students can also use the grid method to draw a cupcake and there is a picture of this technique to help.
This is part of a unit of work called Modern Movements - using cup cakes. This is the first lesson where students explore looking at what are the themes in historical art and how this relates to Modern Art
This first powerpoint explores what is Art and looks at the various subjects of the past master paintings: Still-life, Landscape and Portraits.
Students make a circular collage of examples of themes in Art.
This is a summary for files - a 5 min Scheme of Work to help with having all the essential information required. This is my project Modern Movements - cupcakes where students make a cupcake in various different modern art styles: Expressionism - black and white polyprint, Neo-Impressionism stippling and dots with paint or crayon, Fauvism - splash arbitrary colours and learn how to use water-colour, Realism - pencil shading accurately, Surrealism - make a magical fantasy creature like Miro to go on the cupcake. There is a Scheme of work for this unit.
This links to Modern movement project and has activities for starters and a list of activities to take place weekly.
It has a Glossary with it for the project.
it has an evaluation for project.
Also resources for students to understand the movements.
There is a separate bundle for the whole project- with all the schemes for each movement with starter activities.
But, the outcomes are successful and students enjoy learning about the art movements and making cup-cakes in the various art styles.

Evaluation of project
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
