Ocean Conservation - Art and Design KS3 KS4 - Blue Planet Inspired - 3D, Drawing, Artist Research

A comprehensive resource suitable for KS3 and KS4 students focusing on Ocean Conservation inspired by BBC’s Blue Planet II.

The project is currently being taught to a Y8 group, however it is structured to reflect a GCSE Art and Design project so could be taught to KS4 also.

The project should run for one term. The Powerpoint includes homeworks, starters, plenaries and an image pack at the end for visual resources for pupils.

Tasks include: Coloured pencil drawing, recycled plastic fish sculptures, creative pattern/mark making, oil pastel, collage and research into artists such as: Iain Macarthur, Ande Hall and contextual research into the charity Washed Ashore.

The project has proven to be a really successful issue-based scheme of work which pupils have thoroughly enjoyed studying. They have produced very successful and creative work in response to this theme and at least 2 lessons taught from this project have recently been graded Outstanding.
