Success Criteria Make an elaborate heading for William Morris showing his emphasis on NATURE Creatively present the pictures on his work Answer the questions with full sentences describing the characteristics of William Morris. Copy a detail of his work. THE POWERPOINT SHOWS how to make a small frame try to draw an enlarge a part of an image of William Morris, that is, crop a section and draw what you see in a box on your page. (The measurements for the box is 10x12 cm and it can be Portrait or Landscape). The overall objectives are : To understand what the elements of art are: line, shape, colour, texture, space, value and tone.This lesson you will be completing an artist study presentation on the work of William Morris and answering the questions and making a critical analysis of his work. We will be presenting examples of William Morris’s work and making a decorative presentation using the word William Morris for a title and presenting this creatively.

Describe what type of lines, shapes, space, colour and textures do you see in the work. Try to add one word to the element …………… For example: Wobbly Lines, Dark Colours, Rough Texture, Mathematical shapes Wide Space ‘We are learning to develop your written work looking at a work of Michael Craig Martin We are learning to make a presentation of this in a powerpoint: We are learning to show slides which should include: Artist name, and pictures of his work, We are learning to write an analysis using questions on our slides We are learning to make our own response to the work using pencils, pencil crayons and felt tips We are learning to reflect on the work of Michael Craig Martin and how he has used still-life.’ Research On the internet students find examples of the work of Michael Craig Martin Choose two images by this artist, one you like and one you do not like. Students answer the following questions and display visually: 'Why do you like the first image? Why do you not like the second image? What bit in each photo do you look at first?" Students Choose one image to analyze and to use as the basis for their own drawing – the one students are asked to copy. Students evaluate: “What do you like about this artwork? Which section do you look at first? How are you going to copy this artwork (remember its your own version it, not a perfect copy)” Plan the layout of your page first in pencil, carefully. Presentation is VERY important! Title: ‘Line, Shape & Colour – Michael Craig-Martin. Decorate your page. Next copy one of Craig-Martin’s paintings using colouring pencils.Stufents ask the following questions: What are your most favourite objects? What objects do you use all the time? Are there any objects that you can not do without? Think carefully about these questions and find 4 images of objects on the internet You may using the internet or take you own photos. Try out different viewpoints, fill the photo with the object and photograph on a plain background. We are going to try to trace off the screen or draw objects with a pencil from the screen Why do we look at things in certain ways? How can we make objects look interesting? Can you guess the objects photographed from different angles? Divide your page into four sections. Title: Line, Shape and Form/Overlapping and Composition Now in each box you are to draw in pencil the outline only of your favourite objects. Try to draw the object four times, once in each block and try to draw a different viewpoint each time Remember to…………. keep the lines neat and clean. look carefully at the shape and form of each object. fill each box with the 4 objects and presentation is important. 4. layout and the way you overlap should be different in each block Find objects at home to use in your Michael Craig Margin Interpretation or objects on the internet to copy from Take at least 4-6 objects and try to combine them together Plan out a rough sketch first………. See example

This is a good place to start to understand what is colour and colour theory in the form of organising colours in a colour wheel. This i normally do in year seven but also go through again at GCSE - students should learn a large number of colour terms through this powerpoint. The powerpoint gives clear steps to making a colour wheel and then explains all the colour terms in depth, primary, secondary colour snd tertiary colours, with complementary and analogous colours. There are also more colour study tasks and more colour terms to understand, so it goes into more depth on different colours- including degraded colour, triads, hue, chroma, tint, tone, luminosity, lustre, neutral colours, monochrome and split contrasts. We will be learning to make a colour wheel We will be learning about colour terms We will be learning to make a colour wheel with paint, or with pencil crayons or with found objects We will be learning to combine a range of objects and arrange them in a colour wheel We will be making a drawing developing a mood by using colour There are also video clips on colour studies linked to tasks. Based on an understanding of colour there is a task to represent their own memories and feelings using colour, shape and pattern. “Try to close their eyes and remember an experience in terms of colour and form. Try to make visual notes in your sketchbooks. Make a painting which symbolises the experience let your feelings and memories come out by using different colours, shapes and patterns.’”

In this powerpoint there are key objectives: To use photographs of your school building and change them to emulate artists/photographers who show decay. To learn how to crinkle the picture up to show paper creases To blend in pictures of decay and textures into a school building photograph in the style of the artist. There is a clear definition for decay and students can use this to start there project. There are slides of a number of photographers to use for this theme and then examples of how to use Adobe Photoshop with steps to show progress in building your own outcome. The photographers are Cedric Wilson, Serj Fedulov, Paul Stokinger,Stikki Peaches, Martino Zegwaard and Armita Raafat. Students can use these photographers and there are steps to show how to achieve these effects on Adobe photoshop used by the photographers There is also a clear example on how to do an analysis of a photographer in your sketchbook To start with there is a recap on composition - how to take a photo and a reminder of the 4 Key objectives used in Photography and an explanation of what key objectives this meets. This powerpoint focuses on the assessment objective 'Develop ideas" from photographers and then how to " Explore" Adobe photoshop techniques to develop your Decay theme.
