This is a powerpoint which gives tasks to interpret the style of Hundertwasser. There are worksheets and information on the artist. This is part of a project where students design a tile shape in colour using a building phito as an inspiration and stylise this into their own design. Students then turn this into a clay tile outcome.

This is a very successful drawing lesson to build confidence with drawing. It can be used at any level as skills are on invaluable. It can be stretched over two lessons. I have a shoe box of little ornaments wrapped in fabric and tied up with tape that I use for this lesson and over the years this is one of my favourite lessons. I finally tried to make a powerpoint and hope you enjoy ! There is a drawing starter exercise Then the fun begins Objectives To explore observational drawing techniques: blind drawing and contour drawing To investigate how to capture techniques (markmaking) when drawing To build confidence in capturing a form with line by using different styles when drawing: gestural drawing and pattern drawing To develop a design from observational details There are 17 drawings to make … and each slide gives you the instruction and an example of drawing Resources A3 cartridge sharp 2B pencil small objects to draw wrapped to start oil pastel each Fine-liner each ruler pencil rayons small bit of tracing paper cut in squares ( size of unit for repeat) starting with the following . TOUCH DRAWING Draw through TOUCH ONLY Feel the object under a cloth draw the object – and try to imagine the shape, texture, and form Try to draw and outline only. 2 minutes BLIND DRAWING Draw with CONTINUOUS LINE and BLINDLY 3 min Draw the object and draw blindly. DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR PAPER as you draw. Instead imagine your pencil as a contour ( an ant crawling on the object) exploring all the edges, outlines, shapes, textures and details of the object. 2 minutes… Follow the slides There are pictures of student examples. Success criteria The line and markmaking quality is MORE important than accuracy This gives students a realisation that drawing is about lines and marks.

The project has examples of plant forms to look at and by using Ernst Haeckel and Nikki de St Phalle. The students begin to research their own design plant shape on a presentation sheet. This involves drawing with fine pens over a wash of colour.Examples are given in Powerpoint - lots of pictures of plants and examples of how to do a wash. Students can also do some Wax and scratch drawings of natural forms using wax crayons and oil pastels. Students then present these on a preparatory sheet- there are examples of this technique. Secondly students then using their own drawings (wax and scratch) of plants and Niki de St Phalle and Haeckel begin to do a design sheet for their monster plant. Resources needed: Plastic pot plants to stand the branches and plants in, withies, newspaper, tissue paper, masking tape, PVA glue to make paper mache glue, re-cycled card, re-cycled bottles, acrylic paints to decorate. The students study they work of Niki De St. Phalle looking at her biomorphic and colourful sculptures and then by using the her work as inspiration plan a design and build a 3D form using withies, found re-cycled plastic bottles and cardboard and construct a plant form in a large plastic plant pot as a basis. There are examples of outcomes and examples of skills to use in the buildong of construction, The powerpoint has lots of examples to use as inspiration and final examples of outcome.

A project for KS3 possible Year 8 looking at Surrealism and the ‘psycho-automatism’ of the artists. Students develop a FANTASY LANDSCAPE for their own paintings out of ink blobs dropped onto their paper and out of random scribbles. Students learn to use these abstract shapes creatively in a composition and are able to thus learn how to shade with paint from light to dark to create a 3D effect of form. The emphasis is on getting students to understand what is chiaro=scuro through the light and dark modelling of abstract shapes. The abstract shapes help them understand that there is no wrong and helps them focus on getting the 3D modelling right. The students need to make a wash for a background with watercolour - using perhaps a sponge. The emphasis is on creating a sense of space with a horizon line and students have to compose their blob/scribble shapes in this infinite space to create a sense of depth on a flat surface. Students need to repeat the shapes and arrange them in different sizes. Students also need to create a sense of interest in the painting. Their surreal shapes are repeated and they are able to change the scale of their forms to develop their fantasy landscape. The second task is to do a black and white pen drawing of their painting, this develops mark-making skills and patterning. This is also a technical exercise where students have to then transform their painting into a black and white pen rendering. This powerpoint has examples of student’s work which helps to support the development of these activities.

A short presentation highlighting the key facts and characteristics of the German Expressionism. There are references to a number of artists, Edvard Munch, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rotluf, August Macke, Emil Nolde, Otto Mueller. Expressionism was made up of Der Brucke Art movement and Der Blaue Reiter - there are also examples of these artists linked to Expressionism. Der Blaue Reiter is Frans Marck and Wassily Kandinsky. Key examples given with notes about the movement to be used as worksheets for students.

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.

In the first part of the powerpoint students are asked to listen to pieces of music and to formulate slogans from them. Students then are asked to do a critical analysis of the work of Banksy by selecting one of his works and answering questions. After this students are asked to copy a picture of Banksy and then make their own collage of his work using magazines and newspapers. The theme of their poster is on the pandemic. We will be learning: To create a poster collage in the style of Banksy that describes the pandemic occurring and linking this to the UK To use magazines, newspapers and pictures and to make a collage of these to create a poster. To make a slogan, drawing the lettering or finding letters in magazies or newspaper. Success Criteria Your poster must include the following: A key phrase or work linked to the pandemic Two image that links to what is happening in the UK or something that is key in the NEWS. It should have graffitti style lettering and pencil work Accurate shape outline Good use of negative space Link between font style and theme Clear placements/readable

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.

The powerpoint first of all gives you some techniques to use with paper and students to make a sample board of the techniques. Homework task: Zentangle …see powerpoint example Students then go on to draw out an insect and there are symmetry templates for you to use to develop insects. There are also lots of different resources and pictures of insects to use. Further task is then to build the paper craft techniques on the pen drawing and to make your relief paper insect. There are examples of different paper techniques and samples to develop. **Learning Objectives ** Using the topic given insects/birds the aim is to develop their paper art skills and to begin to make an insect. Also, to use skill of symmetry and practise drawing skills and to build a 2D relief insect using paper creatively. • To learn how to do various paper art techniques and develop ability to manipulate paper. • To explore a number of different paper craft activities, there are slide examples of techniques. coiling paper folding paper spiraling paper layering paper scoring paper embossing paper twisting paper rolling paper curling paper. • To EXPLAIN HOW TO carefully draw out insects using the symmetry insects as a guideline. • To cut out the shapes of insect drawing carefully • To explore paper techniques. **Resources ** Large square of re-cycled paper to paste the paper sample techniques on Glue – pritt stick and pots of glue Pencils, Scissors Magazine paper to use to make insects, Pens to draw with Tracing paper to help with symmetry drawing **ACTIVITY OBJECTIVES ** To make a sample board of different effects one can achieve when using paper as an art form.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 one sheet that summarises the main assessment objectives of the GCSE Art and Design course

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.

Match the correct art movement with a description of the art style. Also match the art movement with an artist and a picture from the movement
