Students are developing an understanding of tonal values and 3D forms and looking at markmaking, and a range of tones and depth of tones. • Students reflect on what is a shape, and how to turn this into a 3D form and look at ways to do this with some key vocabulary terms. • Develop an understanding of how to use charcoal and chalk. • Students on a planning sheet will need to develop their mark making skills to enable them to shade using tones and students will look at various ways to use line techniques to create tone: stippling, hatching, cross hatching, scumbling, contour hatching. • Students then will look at the lighting of a 3 D form and how the shadow is thrown. • Students will practice a tonal range on a geometric shape. Students will then work in a group and each student to draw a geometric shape which can be put together into the fantasy figure composition based on the Surrealism Picasso figures. Examples given of the geometric standing figures of Picasso, De Chirico and Desmond Morris. Students follow the powerpoint using chalk and charcoal and explore mark making techniques to start. Then students look at the tonal contrasts and begin to develop a geometric shape. Each child to do a different geometric shape and in so doing build a figure of the shapes. Reflection and Evaluation Activate Prior Knowledge: Students to complete the questions on slide 2 on a large A2 sheet on what they know about a shape/form/3d. Questions on powerpoint/sheet per child. Ask students to come to the board to write down the answers. Ask students about charcoal and get them to explore mark-making on large sheet. Understand how to use charcoal and chalk. Playfully begin to develop their use of line (mark-making) and tone (contrasts and lighting) by using the chalks and charcoal. To follow teacher demonstration on the large A1 sugar paper. Draw out the surrealism fantasy stick figure composition made up of geometric shapes and then each child will begin to start shading their form. Final Evaluation: What is creative about the work on Show? How can we improve any of the work on Show? Who has excelled in their work today? And Why? If we had to evaluate the outcome – what work shows creativity, imagination and, an attempt to truly achieve success in outcome today?. Dismiss class

Students are to develop creative drawing by analyzing and interpreting a variety of selected artists. Students will produce a drawing showing contextual evidence that supports the assessment criteria for the A Level course. This powerpoint gives the LESSON PLAN AT TH END OF THE PRESENTATION. Students to reflect on examples of copies of drawings of different MASTERS and illustrators and begin to analyse the types of shapes, lines and marks. Develop an understanding of signature styles of particular artists and the way the artist’s signature captures the intrinsic meaning of the artist. Students to develop an A2 sheet of drawings which shows the different mark making skills of a number of different artists; develop a still-life drawing which support a number of different artists marks. You must show evidence of research and of investigating and developing ideas. This should include visual work and, if appropriate, annotations or written work. Practical responses to the work of other artists, designers, craftspeople and photographers must show development in a personal way. ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVE:  develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding   Analysis Activity- follow Mark-making analysis of artists Put students into PAIRS give out an example of each of these artists drawing – photocopy to pair CULLEN AND AUERBACH, VAN GOGH AND POLLOCK FEININGER AND GILMAN NICOLSON AND MICHELANGELO   Students to describe the marks, the quality of the lines and shapes that define the artist.   Analysis Activity Feedback– Choose one of the works and will one of you in the group discuss this with the class. Other students may also add comments. TASK ACTIVITY Creative Practical Skills independently Students to choose 2 of the artists discussed or analysed in the groups and try to do a drawing now in the style of those two artists. With a ‘window frame’ students to draw in the style of the artist in a small frame on their sheet. Prompts Questions to Evaluate Drawing outcome What does it remind you of?  What does the work represent? Have any parts been exaggerated or distorted? What message does the work communicate?  What kind of marks does the artist use? What kind of shapes can you find?  What materials and tools have been used?  How does the work make you feel? Does the line, shape, colour affect your mood? What do you like about it Why? What don’t you like? Why? How might you take ideas to use in your own work?  What do you know about the artist? Does the work relate to the social or political history of the time?

This is a short visual display of how perspective developed from the early Medieval paintings through the key artists in the Renaissance: Giotto, Masaccio, Brunelleschi, Leonardo and then the Dutch artists and then to Cubism. It shows you how artists have developed a window on a flat space through first of all basic means of overlapping, placement, symmetry and story telling and how this changed with Giotto and Masaccio (use of light and dark shading) and how Brunelleschi brought the grid and camera obscura to develop a window to the world in his paintings. It further looks at Leonardo’s example and how he developed this linear perspective but then continues with the development of chair-scuro (light to dark shading) and their oil paint blending to continue developing the illusion of reality on a flat surface in their Still life paintings. The presentation ends with how this has now returned to a flat surface and the surface been treated as a wall again with the work of Cezanne and his brushwork painting and underpainting to develop an illusion of space. Cubism and its multiple viewpoints show how Art has now returned to a wall and Braque and Picasso’s work show how they have now fractured space and how the importance of creating an illusion of space on a 2D surface was not a priority but instead it was the overall meaning and idea that is important.

This is a powerpoint on the theme Broken and refers to the Eastern concept of Wabi Sabi - where one sees beauty in imperfections. There are lots of examples to get students to think of broken and the meaning of this and what is beauty? Students are asked to do a mind map of broken and try to describe situations where something is broken and what the meaning is of this and question its beauty? Lots of examples of different examples of artworks to show Broken. If this was a GCSE theme students to use this as prompts to help develop ideas on the theme.

This is a slide of lots of different images of pictures of portraits and figures. The next slide is of the vocabulary list and words to match with the pictures. Print the pictures out on a sheet of A3 and get students to match the visual and words. This is for any age group and relates to a topic on portraiture.

Exercises, activities to develop an understanding of shape and a wide variety of tasks to experiment with the dynamics of shape. Looking at energy points, different typeface shapes, negative and positive shapes, symmetry patterns, repeat patterns, NOTAN, designing with geometric and organic shapes, drawing shapes to different smells, using music to capture shapes, looking at the meaning of words to capture shapes and the play with tangram shapes. This can be used with A-level students to inspire, GCSE students for starters and Key Stage 3 to develop a foundation knowledge of the basic element ‘shape’. There are also a number of different artists like David Bomberg, Joan Miro, Stuart Davis, Escher, Lisa Milroy and Henri Matisse - artists who use a simplified shape in their work and students can interpret there own ideas from these artists. There are lots of exercises and different tasks to experiment with shapes.

A Key stage 3 project which starts with Figure drawing of class mates - lots of student examples to support and instructions for drawing. Students then look at modern sculptures and uses them to simplify their figures into abstract shapes. There are once more student examples and clear instructions showing how to simplify. It is important to get students to show the simplification of their figure drawing into an abstract shape. Students study 4 different sculptural artists - Further task involves doing an artist study on one of the Sculptors: Henri Moore, Anthony Gormley, Barbara Hepworth and Jean Arp and then students make a moodboard of their work. There are sheets for each sculptor showing some info and pictures of each sculptor. Then there is the making of the sclpture with video clip to explain how to build armature and how to make 3D form using paper mache - there are a lot of good examples of student figures Students then need to build the figure out of cardboard, papier-mâché, wire, straws and recycled objects and to decorate this with coloured paper, tissue paper and any other embellishments like buttons, beads and string. Furthermore there is the embellishment of the sculptures…development of design and pattern by looking at Aboriginal Art, Gustav Klimt, African Art, Beatris Milhaze and students have to choose one of these designs to inspire their figure and begin to decorate their figure. The students then draw out the simplified figure shape with the abstract colourful patterns and present this on a page in their sketchbook. Finally there is the development of this figure into a hanging mobile looking at the work of Alexander Calder and an evaluation.

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 resource of examples of artists who use text in their artwork and there are some examples of artists who show movement in their work. There is also an activity to collage a set of black and white newspaper/magazine and make your own version creatively using text to show movement.

This is a few slides of portrait drawings and to use as a starter activity where students can analyse the marks, lines and textures used to capture the portrait. Students in pairs look at the lines used in the portraits and quickly analyse and describe the quality of the marks and what effect this has on the drawing. A good way to find meaning in the marks and to get the mood of a drawing.

Tasks to develop drawing skills and giving examples and exercises to develop line qualities in drawings. Looking at various types of lines and ways of drawing with artists examples this is a great project for year 12/13 -AS and A-level class to develop confidence and skills in sketchbooks. A good way to build skills in art. Gives a variety of tasks and inspiration with a wealth of different lines to use. Using different types of lines to draw with like, contour lines, pattern lines, expressive lines, structural and modelling lines, diagrammatic lines planning and plotting lines and with examples to support the learning. There are lots of little exercises to develop confidence in drawing with lines.

These are lists of words and pictures to match. There is also a definition, an explanation of the pictures. Use this in the classroom in a Medieval Fantastic creature / Bestiary project where you get students to research the images of their own - or use the images provided with the lists to play a game in the classroom.

This is for all ages - showing how one can use found objects and recycle them to make creative designs. It is to inspire students to design a dress/ costume and to then find re-cycled materials to use. There is also a page of techniques- showing how to use plastics and fuse these with string, threads and to add in wax, pastels drawings. There are outcomes as well with the result of making the plastic fusion. Some good examples of innovative designers and how they have used materials to make dresses. This is good for GCSE for those students who want to make dresses or for a project on recycling and fashion.

This is a good powerpoint for basic foundation course on different elements of art - starting with Point - it gives you a number of exercises to explore this element as a creative element. Lots of exercises and different artists. An excellent starting point for A-level art looking at the basics of a mark and how this effects the negative area.

This is a resource on examples of Victoria Crowe’s work and this has been used with year 11 to get them to experiment with acrylic paint and gold leaf Students ts find out about Scottish painter and write up a paragraph on her work. Questions included for Critical analysis Artist study for GCSE and A-level - interpreting artist. Learning a new technique and painting with gold. Also a link to a video on using gold leaf to help with artist interpretation. STUDENTS TO SELECT ONE OF HER WORKS FROM SLIDES PRACTISE HER TECHNIQUES EXPLORING PAINT AND GOLD LEAF EXPERIMENTS MAKE A PAGE In sketchbook FOR AN ARTIST STUDY ON HER WORK
