As an artist with 18+ years teaching experience, I have designed and continue to create resources for my students. The progress and development of their knowledge, skills and understanding is always at the forefront of all my planning. The resources are my own, and are suitable for one off lessons, schemes and/or cover sessions. Keep a look out for new uploads as I am continually researching, creating, designing and developing Secondary, Primary and Further Education resources.

Cross Contour Octopus Drawing

(1)
This resource is designed to highlight the Formal Elements of art, while creating a cross contour drawing of an octopus. The aim is for students to gain a greater understanding of FORM and SHAPE, through the use of LINE and PATTERN. This activity can be used for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 learners and is designed to engage students in ‘looking and seeing’ and consciously use the following Formal Elements of art: LINE SHAPE FORM PATTERN This resource is two PDF files; one with a ghost outline template to support the less able/less confident students, and one without for the more able/gifted and talented students. On the sheet there is the learning objective, a description of what the cross contour technique is, and the task instructions with step-by-step visual examples of how to work through the task. There are also other cross contour examples to reference from. This task is suitable for integration within a scheme, one off lesson, and/or cover session and takes approximately one lesson to complete, if being produced to a high standard. I usually print this resource on A3 cartridge paper and my students work directly onto the sheet, but this can be printed A4 also if desired. It may even be used simply as a reference sheet and the drawing produced directly into sketchbooks or on separate paper, whichever suits your student needs. I have created other cross contour sheets of varying subject matter: hands, skulls, shells, apples, that you may wish to look at in my shop.
