The Levett School ART Scheme of Work

Generating Ideas spontaneously create imaginative responses and representations of the real world, remaining flexible to adapt and change artistic elements to express a specific meaning or idea;

Generating Ideas carefully use a basic range of fine and broad drawing materials and techniques to record with some accuracy of line, shape, tone, colour, scale and proportion from observation and imagination;

Generating Ideas gather and assemble suitable information and visual resources to inform their designing for a purpose;

Generating Ideas work purposefully in response to a visual or tactile stimulus incorporating ideas from their study of artists, designers and the products of other cultures.

Generating Ideas complete design studies for 2D, 3D and craft outcomes, including research, observed studies, and visualisations;

Generating Ideas explore a sequence of design steps to develop and improve ideas using thumbnail studies, annotation, multi-views, different compositions, maquette’s or prototypes;

Year 7Term: Y7 Autumn 1 Theme: LIFE and DEATH (Art connected to Death)Content ARE objectives. Activities Useful Resources1. Initial ideas- death

Generating Ideas control their selection and interpretations of elements from the study of artists, designers, architects and other cultures to creatively inform their individual designs and

Discuss with the students that over the next few weeks in Art we are going to be looking at art surrounding the topic of Death. Students to complete a concept map in sketchbooks – thinking of all the things that they think we could use to link art to death. Our main project will be ‘the face of death’, from which they will choose to focus on either Egyptian death masks, Day of the Dead skulls, Medusa, The Plague Doctor, or the devil.

In this session the students are going to use the IPad, images, laptops to

find a range of images that inspire them, to use these images to create a mood board or a planning image ready for the next session. Ie, if they were focussing on Medusa, they might collect images of reptile skin, snakes, women’s faces, etc. They might put together a block of colours in considering the colour scheme, shades of blue, green and grey, for example, alongside doodles of reptile skin patterns or snake tongues.

2. investigate ‘Egyptian death masks’ or other chosen face.


Students should research the chosen Face of Death.Only brief research is needed, just to support and generate ideas for the art work. They should make notes in sketchbook.

3. Draw the face


Students should follow step by step guidance from the teacher in drawing a basic face, (ie, a U shape face outline, eyes half way down, etc).They should then use the imagery from previous week to begin making this face into the chosen Face of Death. This is chance to produce a very high quality drawing, be it stylised or realistic. Students may keep the work pencil grey tones, or may add some colour to key parts of the work.

4. Construct a face

Knowledge how to apply their experience of drawing, painting, printing, tactile and constructed processes/techniques, selecting suitable tools to enable them to design and make art

Students should create the basic semi relief face. The project requires half of a face emerging from a base piece. They may use wire mesh on their own face to get the basic shape. They should then adapt this to make the face of their design. They could use paper mache, mod roc or clay. The teacher may choose one of these mediums, with their knowledge of the class group.

Term: Y7 Autumn 2 Theme: HEALTH - Animation of a Food ChainContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 2.1 – Simple Animation

Generating Ideas spontaneously create imaginative responses and representations of the real world, remaining flexible to adapt and change artistic elements to express a specific meaning or idea;

Begin by explaining the theory of ‘The Persistence of Vision’ (when our eyes see images in quick succession, they see one moving image and our brain fills in the gaps). Show an example of a zoetrope or flip animation. Students to prepare and make a flip animation and/or a zoetrope – brainstorm ideas for simple animations, e.g. a face which smiles, a rabbit face where the ears move, a stick figure which moves their arms upwards or perhaps falls over, a bottle which overflows, and so on - LA students might draw a face and make the eyes blink or make the smile get bigger and bigger.Each student will need ten post-its (or pieces of paper cut to the same size and fastened together). Initially, all students should attempt a simple flip animation with a suggested image of a mouth opening and closing, linking to the theme of survival. Students should draw their first drawing on the bottom post-it. The next image should be drawn on the next page up from the bottom, so that the previous image can be traced over, changing just one small detail. When the ten images are complete, the pages can be flipped to view the ‘moving’ changes.When the students are confident using the flip animation technique, they can try positioning the images on a zoetrope.

Post-its, or paper cut to the same size and fastened together to use as flip books.

Black card.

Scissors.

Turntable or revolving surface for a zoetrope. You can make one using a round container on a ball, see google.

Ask the students to research William George Horner and the early stages of animation development and make notes in their sketch book – they should include examples of their animation work from this lesson.

LA: Recognise and use the technique of flip animation to create a simple moving piece.MA: Create a flip animation demonstrating clear changes between images.HA: Use a range of animation techniques to create and demonstrate simple image animations, showing clear progression between images.

Wk 2.2 – Animation Project 1 – Planning the Food Chain


Discuss food chains – think of examples of these. MA/HA may wish to consider three creatures (i.e. producer/predator/prey) – LA may wish to work with two creatures. In sketch books, draw the food chain, using simple animals – these will form the basis for clay animals to use in an animation project, so should not be too complex or difficult to reproduce. Stylised character animals are acceptable, e.g. just a head with no body, large eyes etc. – realism is not a prerequisite, but something that is simple to reproduce is.Introduce stop motion animation – ask students to develop their food chain sketches by considering the actions each creature would demonstrate, and sketching or annotating these in their book.

LA: Identify a simple food chain and reproduce by sketching. MA: Identify a food chain and reproduce by sketching, with progression planned to show the food chain in action.HA: Identify a food chain which includes producers, predators and prey, and reproduce by sketching, with clear progression planned to demonstrate the food chain in action.

Wk 2.3 – Animation Project 2 – Making the Animals


Students should use their sketches from the previous lesson to start creating their animals, ready to animate in subsequent lessons. Paper cut outs or oil-based modelling clay is recommended – air-drying clay or similar mediums which will set will not be suitable, as it cannot be repositioned to animate the creatures.Brainstorm ideas for which animal parts might be animated, e.g. mouth, arms, legs, eyes – remind students that minimalistic changes should be made to aid consistent reproduction. Creatures could also move across a stage or set, without any remodelling being required. Ensure animal pieces are preserved for use in later lessons.

Modelling paper or oil-based modelling clay.

LA: Create a simple model based on planned sketches.MA: Create a series of models based on sketches, with an understanding of how the model will be animated/articulated.HA: Create a series of models to be animated/articulated, some of which should include moving parts.

Wk 2.4 - Animation Project 3 – Producing Images

Making work responsibly with an awareness of personal safety and thoughtful respect when using materials, tools and equipment and moving around the studios;


Demonstrate examples of stop motion animation by showing relevant video clips. Good examples to lead with include works by Tim Burton: ask students to consider which was developed first – stop motion animation or zoetropes? Why might they think that? Consider examples of other stop motion animations, e.g. works by Aardman Animations, Ray Harryhausen etc.Students should practice animation , using one object, such as a toy car or ball of clay, moving from one side of the screen to the other. They should familiarise themselves with the technique of taking a photograph then moving the model incrementally before photographing again – key factors to consider include small changes between shots, keeping the camera in the same place and ensuring no other changes between shots except the planned movement.Students should use a stop motion app or software application to create a short practice video, using just a ball of clay or a toy car, etc. Restrict to one item to ensure it’s kept simple and pupils aren’t distracted by materials. (Around 20-40 frames, depending on ability).NOTE: There are a range of free apps available for the iPad which may be used, or limited free software applications for Windows PCs or laptops – the teacher should ensure a suitable piece of software has been installed prior to the lesson commencing.

LA: Create a series of images showing some movement of the model.MA: Create a series of images, showing clear smooth movement of the model between each photograph.HA: Create a series of images showing model movement, and develop into a single sequence video.


iPads or cameras, for recording animation.

Tripod or stand for recording device.

Stop motion animation apps.

Wk 2.5 – Animation Project 4 - Setting the Scene


Students should plan their animation sequence – a storyboard detailing the changes to be made between each shot is a useful way to do this. Students should be reminded of the animation objective, i.e. to demonstrate a food chain in action.Students should then work to create an appropriate set/stage to set the scene for their animation – this can be done simply with a piece of card stood up as a backdrop, or something like a cereal box with the front and top removed. It can be dressed as the student desires, but they should be able to justify their




Stop motion animation apps.Storyboard template

design choices.

LA: Plan a series of actions to create an animated sequence.MA: Plan an animated sequence, considering additional aspects such as setting.HA: Plan an animated sequence demonstrating clear progression and consider external factors which may affect the animation.

Wk 2.6 – Animation Project 5 – Filming and Evaluation


Evaluating provide honest assessment and purposeful feedback to their peers describing strengths and possible next steps;

Students should film their animation, taking care to ensure the skills they developed during Wk 2.3 are practiced. Reminders if needed – small changes only between shots, only the model(s) to be animated for that scene get moved, the camera MUST stay in the same position. Students should also ensure that the models are easily accessible, so the camera position or consistency of scene is not disturbed.Once photographed, the images should be processed into a single animated sequence. Students should share their films, providing opportunities for self- or peer-assessment.

LA: Produce a sequence of images demonstrating model movement and/or repositioning.MA: Combine a sequence of images into a single sequence video animation.HA: Work independently and confidently to create a short animated film meeting a given objective, using a range of filming techniques.

Term: Y7 Spring 1 Theme: POWER - Gothic Dystopia, Tim BurtonContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 2.1 - Character design.

Generating Ideas: Work purposefully in response to a visual or tactile stimulus incorporating ideas from their study of artists, designers and the products of other cultures.

Students to examine a selection of characters from The Melancholy Sadness of Oyster Boy, by Tim Burton. Students could cut out characters and stick in sketch books, or draw their own – add brief annotation on techniques used or distinctive features/style (e.g. line drawing, dark colours, monochrome, makes me feel scared, etc.)Students to create a character in the style of Tim Burton - could explore different materials such as watercolour paints/felt tip and water/coloured pencil/ plain felt tip, biro or pen drawing, plain pencil drawing or charcoal. Techniques used to create own images could be drawing with felt tip pen then brush water over it to make it bleed;

Drawing pencils of different shades, e.g. 3H, HB, 2B, 4B.

Black biro/black handwriting pen.

Felt-tip pens.

Coloured pencils/watercolour pencils.

Charcoal.

black biro creates a nice outline after water painting. Emphasise that a character can be made up from almost anything, then they can visualise that character and might even think about the pros and cons of being ‘Orange Boy’ or ‘Super Koala’ (a short rhyme/tag line could be an extension activity) – brainstorm quirky character names (e.g. Orange Boy, Super Koala, Rain Child etc.) as a starting point.Possible literacy link – ask students to create a list of adjectives, then a list of nouns – pair up a random word from each list to create a character name.

LA – group brainstorm for character ideas, i.e. name/appearance etc. Cut and stick one or more characters from given stimulus. Annotate re. characteristics/style.MA – create own character, using media of choice or as directed by the teacher. Annotate re. characteristics/style.HA – divide page into four and design four characters – could be similar characters using a theme/style, or four distinct characters. Annotate re. characteristics/style, giving some reasons for choices.

Wk 2.2 - Sculpture exploration.

Generating Ideas: Complete design studies for 2D, 3D and craft outcomes, including research, observed studies, and visualisations.

Students to explore sculpting techniques, using a range of materials/methods. These should be small examples so as not to waste materials, but an opportunity to explore and to then know which method they prefer to use in their final design. Points to consider: if their character has long thin legs, they should think about how to create this in a 3D material (suggested method: create the character as if they are sitting on the shelf - the legs then hang from the shelf and do not need support. Another method is to place a piece of wire or wood inside the model to support). Remember to take photos for adding to sketch books.

Suggested method: set up separate workstations that pupils can rotate round.

Possible stations:1. Coil pot using clay (see Res 1) – students to make a small clay

disk for a pot base, then roll a small piece of clay into a long, thin strip and coil upon the base. Use fingers to shape/hold sides in place.

2. Thumb pot using clay (see Res 2) – students to have a small ball

Clay – air/quick-drying clay is useful.

Modroc (or Plaster of Paris bandage rolls).

Balloons.

Newspaper or scrap paper- paper mache

PVA glue.

Small pieces or wire or wooden dowling (lollipop sticks/matchsticks may also work).

of clay, which they then press their thumb into to form a pot shape. Students to use fingers to hollow out/shape pot.

3. Modroc ball (see Res 3) – use a small, inflated balloon as a base, or a small, screwed-up ball of paper. Cover with Modroc; an alternative to Modroc might be newspaper torn into strips, coated in a mixture of PVA glue and water, then used to cover the base shape (papier-mache technique). Students to make three or four small ball shapes, to find the way they prefer to make a spherical shape. Students could also use small balls of clay to shape spheres.

LA – create one or two different types of sculpture.MA – create an example piece using each different material.HA – create an example piece using each different material, adding embellishment to a piece of choice (e.g. a pattern to a clay pot, or a different shape in Modroc using wire/wood to make a simple frame).

Wk 2.3 - Textiles samplers.

Generating Ideas: Complete design studies for 2D, 3D and craft outcomes, including research, observed studies, and visualisations.


Students to create a range of samples on fabric pieces (15x15cm is more than sufficient).

Suggested method: set up separate workstations that pupils can rotate round.

Possible workstations:1. Tie-dye/dip-dye techniques (see Res 1/2) – knot beads or

marbles into the fabric using string, or scrunch and tightly tie the fabric. Either dip or submerge in dye, then leave to dry (following instructions on fabric dye packet if using). Next lesson, students can unwrap the dry finished piece.

2. Batik (see Res 3) – melt the wax and use the tjanting tool to make a pattern on the fabric with the melted wax. Leave to set, then remove any excess wax; dip the fabric in the dye (following instructions on fabric dye packet if using), then leave to dry.

3. Fabric crayons/paints/pens (see Res 4) – decorate fabric piece, following instructions for use of materials selected.

4. Applique (see Res 5/6) – cut out contrasting fabric shapes, using shaped templates if desired, and place shapes on base fabric (these can be attached with a little glue if needed for LA students). Stitch around the edges of the shapes using needle

Small pieces of fabric (scraps or leftover materials would be fine for most methods)

Tie-dye/Dip-dye - marbles or beads/string or elastic/rubber bands/fabric dye or food colouring.

Batik – wax/wax melting pot/tjanting tool/fabric dye or food colouring.

Fabric crayons/fabric paints/fabric pens.

Applique – small scraps of contrasting fabric/shape templates/sewing thread and needles or sewing machine.

Stitching embellishment – sewing thread and needles or sewing machine/buttons or similar (googly eyes etc)/glue gun.

and thread, or a sewing machine if desired. Contrasting colours of threads and a range of stitches can be used for effect.

5. Embellishments (see Res 5/6/7) – students can use the piece from workstation 4, or use a new piece of fabric. Create a pattern or image on the fabric, using different stitches or accessories to embellish (e.g. googly eyes, interesting buttons etc.) – suggested stitches for use might be running stitch, back stitch, chain stitch and/or blanket stitch.

LA – use at least two different techniques to create fabric samplers, with assistance where required, i.e. glue to hold shapes in place when using applique, working in pairs to shape fabric for dying etc.MA – use at least three different techniques to create fabric samplers, exploring at least two kinds of stitching technique.HA - use at least three different techniques to create fabric samplers. Explore how techniques can be adapted, focusing on a technique of choice, e.g. if the student prefers fabric dying, they could consider how to make different patterns or effects using beads or other items, folded fabric, knotted fabric etc., several different types of stitching could be used etc.

Wk 2.4 Evaluating: use their previous experience and judgement to identify strengths in the work evaluated and those aspects where things can be improved.

Students to review and evaluate work from Wks 1-3 (place in sketch books/folders etc.) – self-assess work on what went well (successful/confident techniques) and what could be improved (focus on less confident techniques or those which didn’t work as well for that student). Peer-assess using given success criteria (as decided by teacher) – focus on sharing helpful advice/techniques gained from personal experiences.Set task to plan/create own sculpture based on a character of student choice. Create a draft sketch/plan for own sculpture – draw outline sketch, and annotate to explain distinctive features. Also annotate with planned materials – emphasise that this is for planning purposes only, and that designs can evolve and develop as they are created physically, so students do not feel they are restricted in the creative process as they start to sculpt next week. Remind students to link plans to self/peer assessment ideas.

LA – create a draft sketch/plan based on given stimuli (e.g. Tim Burton

images or similar, could link to other areas of curriculum). Annotate with planned materials.MA – create a draft sketch/plan based on own interpretation of given stimuli (possible link to other areas of curriculum, group brainstorm for ideas if needed). Annotate with planned materials and more specific details for practical creation next lesson (i.e. ‘Arms will be same length, approx. 4cm’, ‘Arms will be different lengths, one will be 2cm and one will be 4cm’, Head will be three times the size of the body’ or similar).HA - create a draft sketch/plan based on own interpretation of given stimuli (possible link to other areas of curriculum, group brainstorm for ideas if needed). Annotate with planned materials and more specific details for practical creation next lesson, anticipating possible obstacles and how they will be overcome (i.e. ‘Arms will be same length, approx. 4cm, will need wire to strengthen’, ‘Arms will be different lengths, one will be 2cm (using matchsticks) and one will be 4cm (matchsticks too short – need more than one or some wire)’, Head will be three times the size of the body, so will need something to support it’ or similar).

Wk 2.5/2.6 Knowledge: How to apply their experience of drawing, painting, printing, tactile and constructed processes/techniques, selecting suitable tools to enable them to design and make art works.

Evaluating: Use their previous experience and judgement to identify strengths in the work evaluated and those aspects where things can be improved.

Students should make their character, using clay or textiles, with two weeks to complete the sculpture. A design should be finalised first, annotating materials and methods (should have been completed the previous lesson).

If textiles are to be explored then an assortment of stitches should be demonstrated, as well several other techniques. If clay is to be explored, the thumb pot or coil method make excellent round character shapes and students should demonstrate appropriate use of slip (water applied to clay with hands or tools to join pieces of clay or create a smoothed finish).

Wk 2.6 – Evaluate finished piece. Compare final sculpture to final design – possible questions to ask might be:Did the design/materials change in the making process?How did it change?Why did it change?What worked? (Techniques/materials – give reasons)What could be improved? How could it be improved?

Resources as decided from finalised designs last lesson.

Term: Y7 Spring 2 Theme: NATURE – William Morris, Repeat patterns

Content ARE Objectives Activities Useful resources

William Morris. Repeat pattern/ printmaking.2.1

Generating Ideas: spontaneously create imaginative responses and representations of the real world, remaining flexible to adapt and change artistic elements to express a specific meaning or idea;

Observational drawing. Students should be presented with natural and man- made objects and should choose one to draw from life. Time allowing, some students may draw a second object. Objects do not need blended shading, the coming project will require line drawings, but hatching could form part of the design and this could be demonstrated to the class as a form of shading. LA: Will attempt to draw an objectMA: Will draw something which accurately represents the objectHA: Will accurately represent the object and use hatching to give it form.

Natural and man- made objects to draw, ie leaves, plants, flowers, insects, spanners, bike parts, plugs, (this is an opportunity to personalise by using objects to match student’s interests such as lego pieces, hair clips, bows etc.

2.2 Generating Ideas: control their selection and interpretations of elements from the study of artists, designers, architects and other cultures to creatively inform their individual designs and planning for a proposed outcome.

Students should collect three images of designs by William Morris, stick these in sketchbooks and annotate. Make a list of 3- 6 characteristics which describe his work. Ie, limited colour palette, detailed, intricate, flowing, natural objects such as plants, flowers and sometimes animals. Graphic design, features no shading, is printed in blocks of flat colour, uses a little hatching to show some form/ shading. Repeat patterns or symmetry are always a key feature.This list of characteristics should be revisited regularly as a reminder of what students should consider in their own design.

LA: Will write at least two characteristics in books, with support.MA: Will be able to suggest a characteristic and will write a few in book.HA: Will independently identify several characteristics and write several in book.

If there is time left in the lesson, students could attempt to extend one of the images they have stuck in their book onto the page.

Students should begin designing their repeat pattern. Trace the sketch (from week one) and explore using this in a repeat pattern (by drawing over the back of the paper to print it repeatedly). Demonstrate to students that the tile could be diagonal, flipped, reversed, fanned or overlapped. Higher level students might explore without a demonstration. By the end of this lesson students should have explored repeat patterns and should finalise a tile design, ready to cut out of lino, which will be

LA: Will repeat their tile to form a repeat patternMA: Will explore creative ways to form the repeat patternHA: Will explore creative ways to form their repeat pattern and will add more detail to fill any space.

2.4 Making: work responsibly with an awareness of personal safety and thoughtful respect when using materials, tools and equipment and moving around the studios;

Offer the students transparent lino blocks, to place the lino over the design and carve it. Remember that the tile will print in reverse (best not to include any text).

Students should carve the lino block, using appropriate tools.

If lino cutting tools are not considered safe, then students could use safeprint tiles (polystyrene tiles) and carve them using pencils/ biro.

Higher level students might prepare two tiles, to print (for example, the background in one colour and the object in another colour).

LA: Will begin carving a tile, with supportMA: Will begin carving a tile independently, after a demonstration.HA: Will carve a tile, creating different line quality and intricate detail.

Making work responsibly with an awareness of personal safety and thoughtful respect when using materials, tools and equipment and moving around the studios

Finish carving the lino block/ all students to catch up to the point where they have lino blocks carved and ready to print.

Students who are already at this point may revisit the list of William Morris qualities and assess what they can add to improve it, ie, is it an intricate design? Can they add more detail to fill every bit of the tile? They could carve a second tile to print in another colour, (choose a feature that will print in another colour and carve out the entire tile apart from that feature, so that it only prints that part).

Architecture: Comparing the architecture of the miners’ homes in Northern England to the nature inspired creations of Antoni Gaudi.

gather and assemble suitable information and visual resources to inform their designing for a purpose;

Wk 1 Students should use a computer to find two images of the homes miners lived in in Northern England at the time of A Kestrel for a Knave. Print and stick in sketchbook. Students should then find two images of architecture by Antoni Gaudi. Print and stick in sketchbook. Discuss, compare and consider possible reasons for the differences. Some students might annotate images in sketchbooks.

Finish the lesson with the teacher providing information (reading to students/ handing out books or printed information) about homes for miners and about nature inspired Gaudi architecture. Higher level students might undertake their own research, with key points/ questions to look at.Key questions to address might be:Why and where were the miners’ homes built? (What was their purpose?)Why weren’t they as decorated as Gaudi’s architecture?Why is Gaudi’s work made up of curved shapes?What was the purpose of Gaudi’s work?

Term: Y7 Summer 2 Theme: WAR - Propaganda – Henri Matisse and FauvismContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 1.1 – Introduction to Propaganda


Introduce the theme of propaganda – show examples of wartime propaganda posters. Discuss – what was the purpose? Who was the intended audience? Why might that style have been used at that time?Give students an example of a propaganda poster to stick in their sketch books – students should annotate with any interesting features. Points to note might be use of colour/artistic style (limited by wartime resources, cheap and easy to reproduce), language used (appealing to selfless natures), features in common (aimed at specific audiences), purpose (to promote a specific cause and persuade people to follow it) or stereotypes promoted/perpetuated.Discussion: what else might be promoted by this kind of poster? Class to discuss modern examples or situations where propaganda may be used, i.e. politics, religion, advertising. Teacher to find examples discussed by class as the discussion is ongoing, to ensure clear understanding.

LA: Know what propaganda is.MA: Recognise examples of propaganda, and give reasons why those examples can be identified as such.HA: Recognise examples of propaganda in a modern context, linking and comparing with how wartime propaganda was used.

Wk 1.2 – Knowledge that Building on the work last lesson, students should identify a cause that

Propaganda or Promotion?

particular kinds of marks can be made with different materials or controlled using suitable tools;

they feel strongly about and design a propaganda poster to promote it. The draft poster should be completed in sketch books, and should be annotated to identify design choices, giving reasons for these where possible. Students should plan for artistic style, including media and techniques to be used (may use pencils, paints, felt-tip pens, chalk, pencil shading etc. – this will help identify prior learning). Drafts should also be prepared for poster text, which can be handwritten/drawn, typed, stencilled etc. Consider the lettering shape and how this fits with the mood. Ie, big, sharp lettering, soft, round lettering etc.When the draft has been completed, students should refer back to their work from last lesson – does their poster include some of the stylistic/identifying features they noted down? Which features, and why?NOTE: Remind students that although they are promoting a cause important to them, that they should avoid being factually incorrect in their information – offer research/fact-checking opportunities as part of the lesson if needed.

LA: Design a draft poster using at least one feature linked to propaganda posters.MA: Design a draft poster using three or more features linked to propaganda posters, and be able to identify the features used.HA: Design a draft propaganda poster to effectively promote a cause, including accurate information to persuade the intended audience.

Wk 1.3 – Producing the Poster


Students should use media of their choice to produce a final version of their planned propaganda poster – remind students that if they alter anything from their original design, they should note it in their sketch books, along with the reason why. Teacher should be aware of the materials required after the planning lesson – ensure students have access to the necessary materials.When the posters have been completed, share examples with the class – can they be persuaded to support the promoted cause? Why do they feel like this? Discuss.

LA: Produce a propaganda poster to promote a specific cause.MA: Use a range of stylistic techniques to produce a propaganda poster targeted at a specific audience.HA: Successfully persuade an audience to consider or support a specific

cause through effective use of propaganda techniques.Wk 1.4 – Henri Matisse and Fauvism

Making show how they can respond in a direct and iterative way to any artists and designers studied, making thoughtful use of their sketchbooks to test ideas that inform their making.

Introduce Henri Matisse as an artist, and Fauvism as an art movement. Show examples of Matisse’s work – Res.1 may be helpful. Discuss the use of bold shapes and colours to stylistically represent images – consider the ‘Blue Nudes’ series of images by Matisse (Res.1, slide 4). What is the image depicting? What does the colour suggest? Is the shape of the figure linked to this in any way? How does it compare to a ‘real’ figure? Students should attempt to interpret mood/tone based on what they see supported by their own experiences. Ask students to draw ‘Blue Nude II’ in their sketch books and annotate their interpretive ideas around it.Ask students to consider Matisse’s ‘The Snail’ (Res.1, slide 7). Do not reveal the title of the painting at first – can students spot the stylistic representation? Explore Matisse’s ‘painting with scissors’ technique (this may also be referred to as ‘drawing with scissors’ – Res.1, slides 8-10 – subsequent slides may also be useful). Discuss how everyday objects might be represented, i.e. ‘The Snail’.Students should sketch a possible image to be represented using the ‘painting with scissors’ technique; remind them that images should be simple and do not have to be an accurate image – refer to Matisse’s ‘The Fall of Icarus’ for inspiration. Students may choose colours to be used, or teacher can decide, possibly limiting or expanding depending on ability. They should be able to explain their choices about subject and colour, either verbally or through annotation on the image in their sketch books.

LA: Know who Henri Matisse was and understand the term ‘Fauvism’.MA: Understand and explain what the term ‘painting/drawing with scissors’ means.HA: Suggest possible stylistic or pictorial representations for a range of objects, and explain how they are linked to the painting/drawing with scissors’ technique.

LA: Create a simple piece of work in the style of Matisse, using the ‘painting/drawing with scissors’ technique.MA: Create a more complex piece of work in the style of Matisse, using some layering in the ‘painting/drawing with scissors’ technique.HA: Create a piece of work in the style of Matisse which uses layers and has more than one point of interest, using the ‘painting/drawing with scissors’ technique.

Wk 1.6 – Comparison and Evaluation

Evaluating evaluate and express an opinion about the visual images, artists’ and students’ work being investigated using descriptive and critical language when speaking and writing;

Students should evaluate their work this term. Compare the two final pieces (the propaganda poster and the ‘painting/drawing with scissors’ piece) – which was preferable to work with? Why? Students should be able to use technical terms such as mood, tone, purpose, audience, realist/realism, representation, symbolic representation, technique etc. and refer to the media and techniques they used in their own work.

LA: Compare two pieces of work, identifying the different techniques used.MA: Recognise the differences between two pieces of work, including references to the media used to create them.HA: Explain the advantages and disadvantages of style, form and media when comparing two pieces of work, and express a preference, giving reasons for the choice.

Year 8Term: Y8 Autumn 1 Theme: WAR – Cause and Effect, Giger and Bayeux TapestryContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 3.1 – HR Giger


Introduce HR Giger. Ask students to complete a short piece of research to compile a biography – they should be able to make lots of links to popular culture in the twentieth century. Giger was anti-war, yet produced lots of war-like images – why was this?To avoid students coming across the explicit sexual imagery produced by Giger, it’s best that teachers present selected materials for students to use for research, ie a book/ powerpoint/ printed materials.Students to choose an image of Giger’s work (selection offered by teacher) and stick it in their sketch books. They should annotate the image to reflect aspects of what they have discovered about Giger, and their own interpretation of the work.

Time allowing- students could draw a body part from life- a hand/ foot/ face etc. Using drawing pencils of varying grades. This could be an opportunity to re-visit the proportions of the face in a step by step portrait drawing, or could be open to student choice.

LA: Know who HR Giger was.MA: Identify one or two examples of HR Giger’s work.HA: Recognise key features of HR Giger’s work and make links between several pieces.

It may be best not to have students independently research Giger- he has produced some very graphic sexual images, which could come up on a google search

Wk 3.2 – Work in the style of Giger


Students should create a piece of work in the style of HR Giger, based on the idea of Bio-mechanism- the morphing of machines and bodies. Use old, salvaged machine parts and ask the students to arrange a selection of pieces on a suitable base (a piece of stiff cardboard). They could draw a body part on the cardboard base to build on. Once they are satisfied with the arrangement, they should glue the pieces in place. the arrangement can be representational or symbolic, but students should be able to write about the meaning in their sketch book.Once the piece has been fixed and set, students should spray the whole piece using metallic spray paint. They can use one colour, or a mixture, drawing inspiration from Giger’s combination of human and machine.

NOTE: An old computer or machine which can be stripped for the parts by students makes an excellent resource, and offers extra opportunities

If old machine parts are not available- a range of collage materials works fine, ie bottle tops, strings, cardboard, etc.

to make considered design choices. A small tool kit with a selection of screwdrivers may be needed for this.

LA: Create a simple piece of art in the style of HR Giger.MA: Create a piece of art in the style of HR Giger, and state how it is similar.HA: Working independently, create a more complex piece of art in the style of HR Giger and clearly explain how Giger has influenced the piece.

Wk 3.4Repeat pattern/ printmaking/ mixed media

Making: knowledgeably develop their own practical skills through investigation and experimentation using a range of materials and techniques with increasing control and purpose;

Students should draw from life a mechanical object. Ie plug/ spanner/ bike chain/ drill etc. The drawing can be basic line drawing, or detailed and shaded, dependent upon ability.

Students will then photocopy and reduce the size of this image. They’ll trace the basics of it using tracing paper, transfer this image onto either a safe print polystyrene tile or a lino block, and will print it repeatedly in their sketchbook, exploring ways to repeat it in the style of Giger. (It’s nice to repeat it overlapping and fading). After experimentation in sketchbooks, students should consider how to combine their three elements- the body part drawing, the machine part drawing, and the element of repeat print, forming one mixed media piece. They might print on paper and could cut out the original, larger sketch to layer it on top of the print, then working over this with biro/ pencil/ paint/ media of choice. The sketch could be printed onto acetate to layer it onto the print, if school has any acetate. They could print onto a photocopy of the body part drawing, cut out and add the machine, etc.

Acetate sheets.Pens, pencils, varying media for explorationPrinting equipment. Metallic printing colours- silver etc- work well, as does black.

Wk 3.4 – Preparing a pattern


Having considered futuristic conflicts and contrasts, the topic can now move to the recording of the past – introduce students to the Bayeux Tapestry, and examine the reasons for it’s creation. For this part of the topic, students will create a stitched piece in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry.Give each student a piece of paper – ask them to produce a simple image related to the theme of war. It does not need to be coloured at this point.Give students a piece of squared paper – they should lay it over their war image and trace the image onto the squared paper, making sure the image becomes ‘pixellated’ as they do so – teacher to demonstrate the

technique of creating a pattern for sewing. Once the image has been transferred to the squared paper, students may colour it in – limit the range and complexity of the colours. LA students may benefit from designing their pattern straight onto squared paper.By the end of the lesson, students should have a completed sewing pattern, resembling a counted cross stitch grid pattern.

LA: Create a simple pattern on a counted grid.MA: Accurately transfer an image into a counted grid pattern.HA: Transfer an image into a counted grid pattern, incorporating a reasonable amount of finer detail.

Wk 3.5 – Stitching a Sampler and Sewing using a prepared pattern


Teacher to model a range of stitches which might be used for the sewing project – a visualiser would be helpful, or video clips. Suggested stitches might be cross stitch, half cross stitch, long stitch, running stitch and back stitch (or any other stitches of teacher choice). Students should practice the stitches on a small fabric swatch – keep this as a sampler.The teacher should decide if regular fabric pieces will be used, or Aida fabric, and whether the sewing medium will be wool or yarn, or embroidery silks (depending on the selected fabric – if 12/14-count Aida is used, embroidery silks are recommended, for lower than 10-count, wool can be used, and for fabric pieces, it will depend on the weave and thread count). A piece of fabric should be given to each student. Teacher to demonstrate how to centre the fabric and the pattern, then students can begin stitching independently. They may need to adapt their sewing as they progress, for example when colour-matching or deciding if/when to introduce new stitches. Embellishments can be added in the final lesson, once all of the stitching has been completed.

NOTE: Ensure that a reasonable seam allowance (approximately 4cm) is left all the way around the piece, to allow room for display mounting at the end of the project.

LA: Use at least one stitch to create a simple stitch sampler.MA: Use a range of stitches to create a simple stitch sampler.HA: Use a range of stitches with control and precision to create a stitch sampler.

Fabric pieces or Aida pieces to sew on, one for each student.

responsibly with an awareness of personal safety and thoughtful respect when using materials, tools and equipment and moving around the studios;

using a contrasting colour and stitch to emphasise or pick out details, buttons or similar items stitched on for effect, and so on.Once the work has been embellished, students should prepare to display their piece. They could make a cardboard mount and backing, or each piece of work could be stitched to another, to make a long piece similar to the Bayeux Tapestry. If preferred, the pieces could be added to folders/sketch books as a sampler, along with the pattern. The pattern, or a copy of it, should be stuck in the sketch book and annotated to evaluate how the final piece met the brief, and if any design changes were made and why.

LA: Use at least one type of stitch to produce a stitched piece of work, and add an embellishment.MA: Use a range of stitches to produce a piece of stitched work, adding at least one embellishment to emphasise detail.HA: Use a range of stitches with control and precision to produce a piece of stitched work, adding considered embellishments to accentuate key details of the piece.

Evaluating describe the different characteristics of art and design and

Students should be told that the topic is African Art. They should then be given twenty minutes to put something in their sketchbooks. They might draw something/ write something/ research something. After twenty minutes, present students with some ideas, such as African masks, African textiles patterns, African body art, and African painting, giving them ideas for further exploration, in case they aren’t able to find their own.Tell students that they will create their own art project. Ask them what they think they should do today. Lead them to the idea that they need some ideas formed in sketchbooks, then they need to plan some stages for their project. They might look at last terms project and how we build art projects, ie we do some observational drawing, we think about the qualities of the artists/ style so that we can make a checklist, we do some planning, we make, we evaluate.Ask students to make a rough plan of what they might do each week, ie week 2- draw faces, week 3- carve faces from soap, week 4- paint faces.

Encourage them to think about what would be the next step- the next development.They could attempt an unplanned exploration, trying new things each week and spontaneously thinking, ‘where can I take this next?’, as long as they show some development and understand the theme is African Art.

This project is especially good for Y9 students, as preparation for GCSE Art, where they would be given a topic to explore themselves.

Term: Y8 Spring 2 Theme: HORROR - Outside the Inside – Burton and GiegerContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 3.1 – Comparison of styles

Evaluate: evaluate and express an opinion about the visual images, artists’ and students’ work being investigated using descriptive and critical language when speaking and writing. (Y7/8)

Knowledge: how to recognise and name different art forms including types of painting, craft, sculpture, design and architecture, photography and digital media. (Y7/8)

Knowledge: that particular kinds of marks can be made with different materials or controlled using suitable tools.

Present students with images by two different artists - suggested artists: Tim Burton and Giger (Res.1). Students should analyse the images and group them together according to similarities, resulting in a page of Burton imagery and a page of Giger imagery; annotate to explain how images have been grouped - write a few sentences comparing the two artists, e.g. ‘Both artists use little colour and portray dark feelings, but Giger fills the page with detailed and realistic imagery while Burton uses strong silhouettes and contrasting black and white, boldly, in a rough, unfinished style.’ Students should at least note one similarity and one difference.

Basic pencil shading activity – see Res.2 for guidance if needed. Students should draw in their sketchbooks five small boxes in a row. Leave the first one blank, to show the lightest tone, being white. In the next box, use an H grade pencil and shade very lightly; the next box they should shade a little darker. The next box should move to a B graded pencil to create a darker tone, and so on, until the 5th box is a very dark shade. Students should understand the use of differently graded pencils. Next they should do the same 5 boxes of varied tone, but explore hatching and/or cross hatching; a fine-line black pen could also be used to explore this. Draw a circle or a hill and shade it using a realistic shading style and then the same shape shaded using hatching, perhaps in the style of Tim Burton. Discuss and annotate the pros and cons of each style, i.e. realism versus texture and stylisation; students should be able to associate each with an artist - Giger uses realism whereas Burton uses a rough, sketchy, ‘childlike’ style.

Drawing pencils of different shades, e.g. 3H, HB, 2B, 4B.

Generating Ideas: explore a sequence of design steps to develop and improve ideas using thumbnail studies, annotation, multi-views, different compositions, maquettes or prototypes. (Y7/8)

Evaluating: provide honest assessment and purposeful feedback to their peers describing strengths and possible next steps. (Y7/8)

Students should follow step by step instructions from the teacher, to copy a basic Tim Burton scene. They should identify foreground, midground and background in a range of Tim Burton images, annotated in sketchbooks (Res.1).

Students should then produce three or four thumbnails of their own Tim Burton inspired scenes, which include a foreground, mid, and back ground - these will form the initial ideas to develop into 3D construction in later lessons. Students could work in a group to mindmap ideas on a whiteboard about what might be seen in a Gothic/Tim Burton scene, to give them a list of ideas, e.g. gravestones, houses, a fence, a door, hills, a moon, a silhouette of a person or animal, texture inc. hatching and shapes etc. (Res.2 for further examples of foreground, midground, background).

Students should evaluate these at the end of the lesson, considering which has the best use of: texture, using hatching; black and white stripes or squares; silhouette (with the hope that these have been noted as Tim Burton qualities in the previous exercise). It may work well to give each student a pre-prepared speech bubble so that they can write a positive comment about a peer’s work and place it next to the work; the peer might stick it in their sketchbook and the writer might stick a copy of it in their own sketchbook.

LA – know how to identify foreground/midground/background.MA – use basic techniques to produce an image showing foreground/midground/background.HA – produce an image showing foreground/midground/background and use a range of techniques to provide texture and depth to the image.

Wk 3.3 – Constructing 3D layers

Generating Ideas: explore a sequence of design steps to develop and improve ideas using thumbnail studies, annotation,

Students will select a design from the thumbnails prepared last lesson and construct it by drawing layers on cardboard. Foreground should be on one layer, midground on another and the background can be drawn on the inside back section of a box (cut away at the front/top to create a 3D/freestanding structure). Foreground and midground layers are then stuck in place (either by attaching to the bottom of the box or by

Wk 3.4 – Knowing the artist

Evaluating: select, read about and respond to suitable art works on the web, in books and other sources, making a personal interpretation in spoken and written forms.

Generating ideas: control their selection and interpretations of elements from the study of artists, designers, architects and other cultures to creatively inform their individual designs and planning for a proposed outcome.

Artist research – Tim Burton. Students should use the internet, books and/or printed materials provided by the teacher. Students to create a page of research – this can be produced in the format of their choice (PowerPoint, leaflet, poster, essay etc.) Key points may include: - Reference to the works of Tim Burton (Res.4)- Identifying the types of work (film, character design, stop motion

etc.) (Res.5/6)- The influence Burton’s life had on his art (he felt like an outcast

growing up and this is reflected in most of his work) (Res.1/2/3/4/5)- Details about Burton’s life (Res.1/2/3/4)

Research may include watching several film clips and looking for any common traits in characters/style/ themes. Research can be developed through an examination of genre and/or Gothic conventions.

LA – Research and record some facts about Burton’s life and works.MA – Research and record some facts about Burton’s life and works, with a focus on one or two specific films and how/why they were made.HA - Research and record facts about Burton’s life and works, with a focus on one or two specific films, identifying and explaining techniques used which characterise Burton’s work.

Term: Y8 Summer 1 Theme: GOOD V EVIL – Banksy Street ArtContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 4.1 – Introducing Banksy

Evaluating: describe the different characteristics of art and design and evaluate their qualities;

Students who have come from Levett Lower School are likely to have covered Banksy in Y6. If you have any of these students, and Y6 is not long ago for them (ie, they are now only Y7) then you could swap this art SOW with Planet in Crisis/ the art SOW for Of Mice and Men/ Hockney linked to Power and Poverty. This Banksy project has not been removed, even though we’ve realised it’s already been covered, because students very much enjoy this artist and graffiti work, and this project uses the artist to consider new issues.

Give the students random pictures by two artists – one should be Banksy, and the other an artist of the teacher’s choice – a suggestion might be Andy

Selection of work from Banksy and another artist of teacher choice.

Warhol, or someone distinctively different for LA, such as Salvador Dali. Ask the students to sort the images into piles, looking for similarities or differences, but do not tell them initially that there are two artists – they should be able to sort and justify their choices. When the images have been sorted, discuss how the piles have been decided. After the discussion, tell the students that there were two artists, and reveal their names.Introduce Banksy – paints on street – art or vandalism? How does Banksy differ from other artists? Possible answers to explore might be: his canvas is the street, most of his art cannot be bought and placed in an individual’s home, he is controversial, a recent art piece began shredding itself immediately after being sold for millions thus subverting the establishment, and so on. Students should stick a selection of Banksy images in their sketch book and annotate with pertinent notes from the class discussion.

LA: Recognise similarities and differences in artistic style.MA: Recognise defining features of specific artistic styles and identify these in the works of recognised artists.HA: Group together images using a range of self-defined criteria and justify the reasons for the groupings.

NOTE: Ideally, this project will be completed on a wall or outdoor surface, large enough to accommodate either the whole class painting their piece on it, or several smaller outdoor surfaces to accommodate single individuals or a group. If surfaces such as these are not available, consider sourcing large boards which can be painted on and then reused for something else. Community groups may also be receptive to street art used for promotional purposes, i.e. to mark an event or similar – contact the local authority or community groups to enquire if links may be made.

Wk 4.2 – Is Banksy ‘Good’ or ‘Evil’?


Discuss the question: Banksy’s work is considered ‘anti-establishment’; if he creates an image which expresses an opinion of being against war and conflict, is this a case of good vs evil, and if so, which side is good and which side is evil?Look at examples of Banksy’s work – which stylistic features does he commonly use? Also consider setting/location – are there any similarities there? Students should add more images to their sketchbook and update their annotation.Banksy often comments on social/global/current issues through his work –

students should consider some social/global/current issues and create a mindmap or list in their sketchbook. Ideas might include climate change, global warming, environmental damage, pollution, deforestation, war and conflict, homelessness or social displacement. Students should make notes on what these issues are about, and their own viewpoint.

LA: Identify stylistic features which characterise the work of a specific artist.MA: Interpret work from a specific artist to suggest links to social/global/current issues.HA: Understand and explain the context for the creation of art by a specific artist.

Wk 4.3 – Stencils in the Style of Banksy 1

Knowledge about the codes and conventions that define the different creative forms in art, craft and design so they can research, plan and develop several interpretations and designs; Knowledge how to apply their experience of drawing, painting, printing, tactile and constructed processes/techniques, selecting suitable tools to enable them to design and make art works; Knowledge when and how to look at the works of artists studied to help them resolve creative problems to inform their own work

Using the ideas from last lesson, students will create a stencil and produce an A4/A3 image in the style of Banksy (size depending on ability – LA may find a larger stencil/ or a silhouette easier to work with, smaller stencils with more detail require a higher level of ability to produce). Ask students to create a pencil sketch initially with the subject being a social/global/current issue. Teacher should model how to create a stencil as a reminder of previous learning, then each student should create a draft stencil on paper. Once the stencil is correct, i.e. all the sections are joined and the image is clear, the stencil can be drawn onto stiff card and the sections cut out.

If the project needs simplifying for L.A, they could be asked to find an image of an animal who is currently losing it’s home. Ie polar bear, orangutan etc, and to use an image with a good silhouette. This silhouette of an ‘orangutan’, can be spray painted, with a sign like homeless people have, ‘I am homeless, please help’. The sign could be another stencil/ colour and could be used by more than one student.

LA: Create a piece of art which uses stylistic features from, or imitates a recognised artist.MA: Create an independent piece of art which uses stylistic features from a recognised artist.HA: Demonstrate a clear understanding of how stylistic features are used by a recognised artist and integrate some of these features to create a completely new piece of art.

*If it’s possible to allocate a wall or outdoor space, the class might work collaboratively on one large piece. Ie, John might make a stencil for a polar

bear, James might make a stencil for a homeless person’s sign, Jake might make a stencil for a human/ a digger/ a wrecking ball.

Using the stencil/ stencils prepared last lesson; students can begin to create their image. Students should make notes in their sketch book concerning the creative process and decisions they made. When the piece is complete, a small copy of their image can be stuck into their sketch book and they can compare it to one of the Banksy images considered previously.

Introduce the concept of silhouettes (Res.1/2/3 – optical illusions). Present students with a series of random silhouetted images – ask them to consider if the image has a strong silhouette, i.e. can they tell what the image is from the silhouette (Res.4). Group the silhouettes into pages in sketchbooks – strong silhouettes (where the image is clear) and less clear silhouettes (where the image is more ambiguous and open to interpretation).Ask the students to create their own silhouette images. Are they clear/ambiguous?

LA: Recognise a strong silhouette outline. MA: Identify two strong silhouettes and offer an interpretation of an ambiguous silhouette.HA: Recognise strong silhouettes and offer interpretations of ambiguous silhouettes, giving reasons for possible interpretations.

Wk 6.2 – Tonal images



Ask students to consider images which represent ‘crime and punishment’ – examples might be weighing scales, Lady Justice statue, superhero figures such as Batman etc., police helmet, handcuffs etc. Body language represented in images may be considered to interpret intent. Students should select an image of their choice and use available resources (Internet, picture books, graphic novels etc.) to find an image with a strong silhouette. Once an image has been located, students should transfer the outline to a piece of paper. Students should use the silhouette to create a tonal image using the newspaper or magazine pictures. Tear up the newspapers/magazines into small sections and sort into piles of similar tones or shades. Students should then use one tone to fill the inside of their chosen silhouette image, and another to cover the background. MA/HA students may wish to experiment with the different effects provided by torn or cut papers. They may also wish to use three tones (light, medium and dark) to graduate or add effect to their silhouette.

Self-assess the finished pieces – students can write their own evaluation, or use prompts from the teacher to guide them (teacher’s own criteria or Res.1). Points for consideration may be: - links to the theme/design brief (Crime and Punishment/. Keeping

Safe)- which materials/techniques were used- how these affected the final design- how these affected the audience- practical issues encountered- how problems were overcome (or not)- what could/should be changed if a similar project were to be

undertaken).

Students may also like to peer-assess other pieces, using similar criteria, but with a focus on audience impact and interpretation.

Year 9Term: Y9 Autumn 1 Theme: FITTING IN - Metamorphosis and Transition, EscherContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 1.1 – MC Esher

Generating Ideas control their selection and interpretations of elements from the study of artists, designers, architects and other cultures to creatively inform their individual designs and planning for a proposed outcome.

Discuss metamorphosis and transition; how objects can change, how people can change, coming of age etc. Look at a variety of work by MC Escher – focus on examples which show transition/ metamorphosis, but a range may be examined to get a feel for his work. Students may either select a few images to stick in their sketchbook, or the teacher may provide this. The images should then be annotated to highlight features of Escher’s work which show metamorphosis and transition, and how this is achieved.

LA: Understand how change may occur and be demonstrated.MA: Recognise how images have changed, with a focus on Metamorphosis I/II.HA: Suggest reasons why images such as Metamorphosis I/II show change and transition.

Wk 1.2 – Shading and Gradation


Show examples of images featuring shading and gradation of colour. Ask students to experiment with shading: students should draw a wide rectangle across the page (suggested size might be 5cm wide x 1cm high), and working left-to-right, shade it carefully. Compare with examples of gradual shading from Escher – shading should be seamless, i.e. difficult or impossible to see pencil lines. Students should then draw around a circle and shade it to make it appear like a 3D sphere, again looking at Escher’s shading for inspiration. NOTE: Smaller rectangles/spheres allow more detailed shading than trying to cover a larger area – students may wish to experiment with different sized shapes to gauge the effect when using shading techniques. Possible extension activities: observational drawing. Draw a body part such as a hand or foot and shade it carefully, or print and cut in half an Escher work and complete the missing half of the drawing, with careful shading. Students may also like to try shading with colours, or different media – how does this affect the outcome?

LA: Observe how techniques such as shading and gradation can influence perception.MA: Use careful shading and gradation so that lines are not visible within

the shaded area.HA: Demonstrate controlled shading and gradation to produce effects or depth and form within the shaded area.

Wk 1.3 – Metamorphosis – Change and Transition


Demonstrate metamorphosis in action – working as a class or in smaller groups, begins with approximately eight post-it notes in a wad. The first person in the group sketches a simple animal on the bottom post-it, e.g. a beetle (a timer may be useful to limit sketch time to no more than 1/2 minutes per person). The wad of post-its is passed to the next student in the group; they now sketch on the next post-it up (second to the bottom in the wad), so that they can trace most of the sketch from the last person, but the second student should then change a part of the drawing. The class might decide as a group what animal to work towards, i.e. the final sketch will be a butterfly. The next student then traces on the next post-it up from the bottom, and they should also alter the image from below to add something extra, e.g. they make the outline like butterfly wings. The next student moves to the next post-it note from the bottom, changing their image so it looks a little more like a butterfly, and so on. When the process is complete, lay out the images in a row to look at the transition. Students should take a photo of the completed metamorphosis to stick in their sketch books, and annotate to explain how the process of change happened.

NOTE: If students get distracted whilst waiting for their turn, another image could be started to go around at the same time but be careful not to confuse them. An alternative activity may be useful, for example artist research, looking at image resource books, etc. Another activity might be individual flip books, where students create their image in a book and flip the pages to change it – books could be created from pieces of scrap paper cut to equal sizes and stapled together.

LA: Recognise how an image changes during the transition exercise.MA: Develop an image by adapting and changing it towards a specified outcome.HA: Have a clear understanding of the transition process and be able to change an image in appropriate stages.

guidelines. Guidelines could be done with a ruler or could be wavy lines; they should cross the page diagonally in both directions, to create something which might resemble a diagonal checkerboard. The guidelines should be approximately a ruler width apart, whether straight or wavy; the end result will be a series of rough diamond shapes covering the page. [It may be useful to practice this in sketchbooks, trying out two to three different ways of dividing a page into shapes, before then using the preferred design on the ‘final piece’].Students may work from left to right or from top to bottom, or even from the centre outwards. They should start by drawing one image inside one of the diamond shapes, but not entirely inside all of the edges - the image can spill out a little so it is not contained solely within that box, e.g. a frog on the left of the page. They then move to work at the opposite end/side of the page (e.g. the right-hand side) drawing their final image such as a bird, again mostly within the guidelines but not completely – these will form the starting and final images. Again, students should find it useful to sketch/ doodle ideas in sketchbooks, but these should be very rough and take up very little time.Over the next lessons (Wks 1.4/1.5/1.6), students will fill in the stages in-between the two images, looking forwards at the final image and creating steps of metamorphosis. These may be simple, or as complex as the student can explore, perhaps even black and white grid gradually becoming a flock of black and white birds. Images do not all have to be precise; some might be a simple shape. The focus is on transition: an image starting as one thing and gradually step by step becoming another. An interesting extension may be to complete another image as a class project, where a group of students turn one thing into another.

LA: Demonstrate an understanding of transition by working to transform one image into another, different image.MA: Develop one image into another, different image, through a clear, planned sequence of transition.HA: Confidently experiment with transition by developing one image into another, different image, and repeating the technique to create a full-page piece.

take a photograph of this to include in sketchbooks (if this is not possible in class, assign as a flip-learning task ready for next lesson). Use the Internet to select images for the remaining ideas (can be from a range of media, i.e. paintings/line drawings/caricatures/photographs etc.) and create a document containing these – save, and print two copies (colour advised; no more than one/two images per page to allow for image manipulation). Stick one copy in sketchbooks and save the other for the next lesson.

LA - List two or three ideas relating to personal identity and select appropriate representations for these.MA - List two or three ideas relating to personal identity and select appropriate representations for these, giving reasons for choices.HA – List at least five ideas relating to personal identity and select appropriate representations for these, where possible using several photographs taken by the student.

Wk 4.2 – Introduction to Surrealism

Generating ideas: Spontaneously create imaginative responses and representations of the real world, remaining flexible to adapt and change artistic elements to express a specific meaning or idea.

Knowledge: when and how to look at the works of artists studied to help them resolve creative problems to inform their own work.

Introduce Surrealism (Res.1). Look at examples of Surrealism – artists to examine might include René Magritte (Res.2) or Salvador Dali (Res.3). Discuss concept of Surrealism. Select and add a few images to sketchbooks (images of teacher choice, or Res.4). Students to annotate images with descriptive words/phrases (independently, or Res.5 as a starting point). HA students may attempt to translate/ show some understanding of the definition:

Noun: Surrealism. A 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images.

Cut out printed images from previous week (the extra set) and arrange into a surreal collage – A3 paper would be most suitable, and images can be reprinted/repeated if desired, or supplemented by additional pen/pencil drawings. Teacher may wish to refer to imagery by other Surrealist artists to demonstrate how images work together to make one piece, i.e.

an image inside an image, an image eating another image, multiple prints of the same image in different sizes, or cut into different shapes etc. Aim to fill the page – remind students it should look dreamlike, or ‘surreal’ – there are no right or wrong techniques, and the stranger the better.

LA – Create a surreal image in sketchbooks using at least two source images, and annotate using at least 5 descriptive words from Res.5.MA - Create a surreal image in sketchbooks using at least four source images, using some annotation to explain why they are surreal, possibly supported by Res.5.HA - Create a surreal image in sketchbooks using at several source images, enhanced with own doodles/hand-drawn images, using independent annotation to explain why they are surreal.

Wk 4.3 – Creating a collage – preparation

Generating ideas: Explore a sequence of design steps to develop and improve ideas using thumbnail studies, annotation, multi-views, different compositions, maquettes or prototypes.

Use the surreal collage from last lesson as a basis for creating a surreal piece of work. Students might trace over the image, or use another medium such as carbon paper to copy it. When reproducing, MA/HA students may like to be selective in developing their piece, and only use certain elements – if they do this, their draft piece should include further elements of their own design to complement the selected features (see Res.1/2 for ideas). A3 drawing/cartridge paper would be best to produce the draft image. HA students may like to experiment with surreal photographs (Res.3). WARNING: Res.2 contains a reference to the short film ‘Un Chien Andalou’ by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí from 3:38 – 3:42 – teacher to assess if this is appropriate before showing.

When the image has been reproduced/planned, students should begin to consider the materials they will use to complete the piece. They may like to experiment with producing small colour samples using paints/pencils/pens/brushes of different gauges to see the different effects that can be achieved. Add these to sketchbooks.

LA – Produce a draft piece in preparation for creating a surreal image, copying pre-prepared work.

Wk 4.6 – Self or Peer Evaluation

Evaluating: Use their previous experience and judgement to identify strengths in the work evaluated and those aspects where things can be improved.

Students to evaluate their work (self-assess; may peer-assess if decided as appropriate by teacher).

Areas for consideration:- What did you set out to achieve? (e.g. to express aspects of

identity/demonstrate or create a Surrealist influence, etc.)- Was this achieved? How?- Which skills have you learnt/developed? (e.g. image

manipulation/image placement/paint or pen techniques etc.)- What might you change/improve next time you attempt a

similar task? (e.g. paint too dry/too many or not enough images on the page/more or less colour etc.)

- How could you make improvements? (e.g. add more or less water/research and add or remove more images linked to my identity/consider colour schemes or use a colour wheel etc.)

Students to discuss then annotate on copies of their finished piece in their sketchbooks.

Term: Y9 Spring 1 Theme: DIFFERENT CULTURES – Picasso, Portrait drawing, CubismContent ARE Objectives Activities Useful resources

Portrait drawing. Cubism. 3.1

Generating Ideas: explore a sequence of design steps to develop and improve ideas using thumbnail studies, annotation, multi-views, different compositions, maquette’s or prototypes;

Students should draw a portrait, with step by step guidance from the teacher. Ie, Start with a rulers’ width, drawn all the way around the outside of the page. Draw the basic face shape and draw the eyes half way down, then the bottom of the nose half way below that and the lips half way below that. (Find a video from youtube if you aren’t familiar with proportions of the face).After the step by step instructions have been completed as far as having a general face, the students can then be more creative and personalise the face.

Students may choose to leave some construction lines to add interest. After the lesson, the teacher will need to photocopy the portraits, in preparation for the next art lesson.

LA: Will draw something resembling a face.MA: Will attempt every step, guided by the teacher, and therefor should have all of the facial features included.HA: Will draw a face, correctly proportioned, with some skill and accuracy.

design studies for 2D, 3D and craft outcomes, including research, observed studies, and visualisations;

These can be stuck into sketchbooks and annotated/ discussed.

Students should make a list of Picasso attributes, ie, bright colours, bold outlines, etc.

Students should then draw a quick sketch of a face, from the side view. A timer could be on the board, five or maximum ten minutes should allow enough time to complete a sketch as it doesn’t matter if it is very rough/ inaccurate. The sketch can be very stylised if the students chooses. Tell the students this is an opportunity to be a bit bold/ creative. It may be useful for the teacher to draw a side view of an eye on the board.

This will allow students to include multiple viewpoints in their final piece, as Picasso did. A photocopy of the sketch will be needed for next week.

LA: Will stick images in books and add a few descriptive words, then produce something resembling the side view of a face.MA: Will stick images in books neatly, add descriptive words (some of which they identified themselves), and will draw a side view of a face, with eyes, nose, mouth, chin and ears.HA: Will stick images in books, will describe Picasso’s work and compare it to another artist in a sentence, and will draw a side view of a face with eyes, eyebrows, nose, chin and ears.

This lesson to be used to bring all students up to date. By the end of this lesson, all students should have a painted Cubist portrait, with black line work.

If any students are already at this point, they can work on an observational drawing of a still life arrangement. They should draw objects from one viewpoint, and then from another viewpoint, some of them also overlapping. (Ie, draw the clock from the front, and the side, then draw the bottle next to it from the front and the top).

Term: Y9 Spring 2 Theme: THE PLANET IN CRISIS – David HockneyContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 5.1 – David Hockney



Introduce David Hockney – British-born painter whose work is often influenced by American culture. Discuss Hockney’s multiple viewpoints photocollages, and show examples; ensure students are aware of the scale of some of Hockney’s larger pieces.Give students a selection of Hockney landscapes (perhaps A5 or smaller), covered by black card frames so only a small section is visible. Ask students to give their response to the sections – what can they see? How does I make them feel? Move the frame around the larger picture, without exposing it – do the newly revealed sections evoke a different response? Think about colours, tone, texture, subjects etc. Ask students to remove the frame to view the whole piece – what is their response now?Give students a larger Hockney image (A4/A3) and a frame with a larger aperture. Ask them to choose a section of the Hockney image and isolate it with the frame. They should now try and reproduce that section in their sketch books, replicating it as closely as possible, including colours – coloured pencils or watercolour pencils might be appropriate for this.

LA: State a range of artistic styles favoured by David Hockney.MA: Articulate a response to a piece of art by David Hockney.HA: Articulate multiple responses to a piece of art by David Hockney, considering a different viewpoint each time.

Wk 5.2 – A Different View

Generating Ideas spontaneously create imaginative responses and representations of the real world, remaining flexible to adapt and change artistic elements to express a specific meaning or idea; Generating Ideas gather and assemble suitable information and visual resources to inform their designing for a purpose;

Expand on the framed view technique from last lesson: introduce the concept of framing using whatever is to hand. Lead a class discussion to establish a range of possibilities, e.g. view through fingers of own hand, chairs set on tables, etc.Once the concept has been established and understood in the classroom, ask students to go around the school building and find interesting ways of framing a view. They should take cameras with them, and be able to record a number of photographs of a specific view. HA may be able to use the images to demonstrate advanced techniques in a Hockney-style photocollage which is comprised of many pictures, each showing a slightly different section of a larger object or view.Photographs should be saved digitally for future development, and a printed copy will be needed for the next lesson.

LA: Understand that views can be framed in different ways.MA: Appreciate how framing a view from a different viewpoint can affect audience response.HA: Use framing techniques to selectively influence an audience response.

Wk 5.3 – Work in the Style of Hockney 1


Using the photographs from the last lesson, students should select a view which they will reproduce as a painting in the style of Hockney. Initial sketches including colour drafts should be recorded in sketch books. Students should also consider the medium of choice and record this, unless the teacher wishes to guide or direct this. Oil paints or watercolours are good choices for this project.Ask students to share their sketches/plans with the class; this will help provide focus for them, and also assist the teacher in preparing the required materials for the next lesson.

LA: Plan a piece of work in the style of David Hockney.MA: Consider characteristics of work by David Hockney, and include more than one of these in a piece of independent work in the style of Hockney.HA: Identify specific characteristics of work by David Hockney and include these in a piece of work in the style of Hockney, being able to recount how

Making work responsibly with an awareness of personal safety and thoughtful respect when using materials, tools and equipment and moving around the studios;Making show how they can respond in a direct and iterative way to any artists and designers studied, making thoughtful use of their sketchbooks to test ideas that inform their making.

Use the completed painting from last lesson as the basis for a large-scale piece in the style of Hockney. Photograph or scan the painting and load into a computer connected to a projector. Use the projector to display the image on a wall or other large blank surface, enlarging to the desired size. Draw the outlines using a pencil or other suitable medium (chalk works as well), then paint the piece directly onto the wall.

NOTE: This is a good way to create a permanent display to showcase art in school. If a large blank wall is not available, a large piece of board could be used instead, or paper affixed to a large display board. As this is a large piece, not every original will be used – a selection of the best, as decided by the teacher, or perhaps voted for by students, would work well, with students working in small groups to complete the piece.

LA: Use technology to develop a piece of work.MA: Develop a piece of work by working in other mediums.HA: Develop a piece of work by working in other mediums, dynamically identifying and solving any problems which may arise in the process.

Term: Y9 Summer 1 Theme: TRAVEL - Pop Art, Andy WarholContent ARE objectives. Activities Useful ResourcesWk 5.1 – Introduction to Pop Art.


Examine images by Andy Warhol (Res.1) – ask students to identify a common link (‘Death’) - what do they see? What might these works be about? Discuss typical imagery of death – what colours/styles/moods might be expected? Compare with Warhol’s work (teacher may wish to show other examples) – did he follow these ideas?Introduce the concept of repetition in relation to Warhol’s work (Res.2) – discuss Pop Art (Res.3). Examine how it links to mass media and consumerism using modern examples of teacher choice.Stick smaller versions of the Warhol images (Res.1) into sketch books and annotate on style/technique etc. as discussed.Use Res.4 as an optional introduction to Pop Art styles and artists – it is recommended this is opened using the Chrome browser to ensure it is displayed correctly.

LA: Understand that Pop Art has distinct, recognisable forms and features.MA: Identify forms and features used in the Pop Art movement.HA: Suggest relationships between the forms and features used in the Pop Art movement and how they originated.

Wk 5.2 – Pop Art Prep: Selecting an image


Refresh distinctive forms and features of Pop Art. Ask students to brainstorm ideas for images which represent their generation – this may be something which is so familiar it is overlooked (e.g. branded items/logos), or something with specific meaning or linked to current affairs (e.g. EU flag, Royal baby, global warming issues, Theresa May, current celebrities). NOTE: detailed images of faces may be difficult to create prints for – teacher may wish to guide students towards simpler representative images, e.g. a trainer, lipstick etc.Students then need to select an image to focus on, and either find an image to use or draw one themselves – again remembering that simple images will work better than complex, detailed pictures. Simplify the image by tracing it three or four times, blocking in areas of

colour and labelling each patch of colour. It may be advisable for LA students to use two or three colours at most, therefore producing only two/three tracings. Colour in the image so each copy has one specific area blocked in, and all areas are covered by the final tracings, i.e. if the image is divided into a blue section and a red section, the first tracing will have the blue section only coloured in and the second tracing will have the red section only coloured in, and if layered on top of each other, all the sections will have been coloured in.NOTE: IT IS CRITICAL THAT ALL OF THE TRACINGS ARE THE SAME SIZE, INCLUDING THE TRACING PAPER USED. It is suggested that the images be designed to fit onto A4 or A5 to make the sizes standard, and whichever is selected must be used for all the images. This will ensure that the print sections will align with each other when the final piece is produced. Whichever size is selected, the backing medium used for preparing the print blocks must match it, as must the final medium that is to be printed on.

ADVANCE PREPARATION: Have each student make a photocopy of each of their tracing sheets and save for the following lesson – if all goes well, this can be stuck in their sketch books as draft work, but if the printing block preparation next lesson goes awry, students may need the backup copies of their images to make the printing block with. If print costs or copier access is an issue, it is suggested that a copy of each sheet is scanned and saved as a PDF file, for ease of printing if extra copies are required next lesson.

LA: Create a representational image and simplify it using no more than two/three colours.MA: Create a representational image and simplify it using no more than three/four colours.HA: Create a representational image and simplify it using no more than three/four colours; explain what the image represents.

Wk 5.3 - Pop Art Prep: Creating a print template

Making work responsibly with an awareness of personal safety and thoughtful respect when using materials,

Prepare the printing blocks ready for printing the final piece next lesson. It may be useful to view Res.1, but remind students that they are making multiple print blocks, one for each coloured section, not just one print block with all the raised relief pieces stuck on. Students should cut out the coloured section from each of their traced image sheets, then trace around the coloured sections onto a piece of

tools and equipment and moving around the studios;

foam: try not to cut through the image, as students will need to preserve the rest of the traced image for each sheet to create the print block.Cut out the outlines of the coloured sections and set aside for now. Glue the preserved tracing sheets onto a piece of thick card – there should be a gap where the coloured section as cut out. Over the gap, stick the piece of foam which was cut out to correspond with the coloured section for that sheet – students should have a print block for each of their chosen colours, i.e. if three colours were used, they should have three print blocks, each with a different raised section attached.Leave to dry until next lesson.NOTE: it may take some practice to correctly prepare the print blocks – it is advisable to have plenty of pieces of foam spare, and use the spare copies of the tracing sheets prepared last lesson if necessary.

LA: Cut out and prepare print blocks for each of the colours in a chosen design.MA: Cut out and prepare print blocks for each of the colours in a chosen design, with some accuracy of alignment for some of the relief sections.HA: Cut out and prepare print blocks for each of the colours in a chosen design, with a high level of accuracy of alignment for each of the relief sections.

Wk 5.4 - Pop Art: Printing

Making respond directly and spontaneously to artists and designers studied, enthusiastically and creatively exploring materials, processes and techniques.

Use the prepared print blocks and designs from previous lessons to create a final Pop Art piece. Place some printing ink in a tray – a plastic drawer is ideal for this or plastic walllets taped down on the table, and be relatively sparing with the ink. Use a clean drawer/ wallet and roller for each colour. Roll the roller in the ink until it is covered, then apply to the raised relief sections of one of the print blocks. Line the print block up with a piece of paper the same size as the block (to make aligning the sections easier – see sizing notes in Wk 5.2). HA students may like to experiment with fabric or other mediums once the basic print has been mastered. Press firmly onto the paper – students may use a clean roller applied over the print block to aid with the impression.Students should repeat the process with each of their colours and corresponding print blocks, making sure to carefully align the print block and paper each time. Once the initial piece has been printed, possible variations might be experiments with different colours, printing over the top of, or around the edges of, the first piece, printed images which have been deliberately misaligned.

Discuss with the students how Andy Warhol’s factory imitated the supermarket factory production/mass manufacturing process and the printing press of the newspapers and magazines. How did the process of producing their images compare with this? Could they repeat their images again? Could they mass-produce their images? Discuss the possible impact of mass production on the images as pieces of art.Teacher may wish to use selected clips from Res.1 as an examination of Warhol and his work, to further inform or develop any discussion.

LA: Produce a simple Pop Art-style image using printing blocks.MA: Produce a more detailed Pop Art-style image using printing blocks.HA: Confidently experiment with Pop Art-style images using a range of media or techniques.

Wk 5.5 – Stencil Printing – Creating a stencil


Explore the technique of stencilling. Students will need some simple images to work with for this – it is possible to reuse the images from the printing lessons, or select new images, possibly themed with guidance from the teacher. Students should choose the shape they wish to work with – use the resource videos to help with this. Res.1 demonstrates making a stencil with a very simple shape; Res.2 shows more complex shapes and paint techniques; Res.3 shows examples of patterned stencils using other media as well as paint to create texture; Res.4 is a range of stencil outlines which can be used or adapted. If printing out a shape, glue it onto cardboard; if drawing the shape by hand, it can be done directly onto a piece of card, although it may be advisable to draw onto paper and then glue onto card in case of error. Once the shape is on card, place the card on a cutting mat and use a craft knife to carefully excise the shape from the card – if knives are not possible, scissors may be used but this will make it very difficult to use anything other than very simple shape, and this should be considered when guiding students towards their choice of image. When the image has been cut out, it should be reserved for later development of the work.Students will need a piece of sponge (close-textured sponges work better for the initial print; open-texture bath sponges will produce a different texture/print) and a small amount of paint in a tray (acrylic works well, but will stain – washable/water-based paints may also be used). Place the stencil over the surface to be printed on; secure if necessary with

paperclips or blu-tack to keep it in the same place. Dab the sponge in the paint and then apply over the cut-out in the stencil. Dabbing will produce different results to sweeping the sponge over as if it were a brush; students should experiment with a range of application techniques to develop their work.Once the print has been completed, students may wish to move the stencil around on the print surface and make more shapes – be aware of wet paint under the stencil when doing this however.For this lesson, it is advisable to use one colour for the stencils; the work will be developed with other colours next lesson.

LA: Create a stencil for printing using a simple shape.MA: Create a stencil for printing using an image which consists of more than one piece.HA: Create a stencil for printing using a complex image, considering how the piece will be sectioned so it forms an overall image.

Wk 5.6 – Developing a stencilled print

Making knowledgeably develop their own practical skills through investigation and experimentation using a range of materials and techniques with increasing control and purpose;Evaluating evaluate and express an opinion about the visual images, artists’ and students’ work being investigated using descriptive and critical language when speaking and writing;

For the final lesson, students should experiment with a range of techniques and colours to produce a stencil print piece. The work from last lesson can be developed by adding layers of colour, or different textures. To develop texture, students could use cloths (tightly or loosely scrunched) to print, or other items they might find. A little sand mixed with PVA and paint will produce a gritty texture, or sand/biodegradable glitter can be applied using PVA and the stencil (revisit Wk 5.5, Res.2/3 for ideas).MA/HA students may also wish to make new stencils to overlay and create a more complex image, and students can share/swap stencils if they wish. They could also work in pairs/small groups to create a large print, using a range of techniques for effect.When the images are complete, students should evaluate their work. Use a class discussion to share feedback: topics for consideration might be:

- Comparing both methods (print blocks and stencils), which works best? Why?

- What are the advantages/disadvantages of each method? Students should consider design briefs – can these methods be used for mass-production (Warhol’s art) or are they more suited to individual pieces?

Term: Y9 Summer 2 Theme: THE FINAL SOLUTION – Fashion as an expression of identity.

Wk 6.1-Introduction to Fashion


Generating Ideas work purposefully in response to a visual or tactile stimulus incorporating ideas from their study of artists, designers and the products of other cultures.

IntroductionLook at pictures of a person when they change the way they look, discuss the effect this has on the person and the effect on people who see them.Pose the question ‘What is fashion, and what purpose does it serve?’Students should answer the question by selecting images to put in their sketchbook to annotate. Ie ,this picture of a person dressed for a job interview shows that they look smart and are not outrageous. This picture of a person with pink hair and bright coloured clothes shows that they don’t want to blend in with everyone else, they want everyone to know they are different and they have a style of their own which they enjoy wearing.

HA should include a famous artist such as a designer featured in London Fashion Week, or an outrageous pop artist like Lady Gaga.

Wk 6.2-Fashion as an expression of your identity- design your own look


Your own favourite lookGive students a template of a body and have them draw on their own favourite outfit. They should annotate the important features ie branding, colour, shape etc. And then consider why these features are important to them, and how would they feel without those features?

Wk 6.3-Elizabethan fashion and the creating of

Generating Ideas complete design studies for 2D, 3D and craft outcomes, including

Elizabethan fashion.Students should look at Elizabethan fashion and appreciate that this was a time when fashion was elaborate and had great meaning. They could

different classes through costume design

research, observed studies, and visualisations;

Knowledge how to apply their experience of drawing, painting, printing, tactile and constructed processes/techniques, selecting suitable tools to enable them to design and make art works;

sketch and annotate the main features. They could consider this statement: ‘It was essential that the Queen’s subjects should know their place, and dress accordingly, so that no one could be misled.’ And could connect this to the separation emphasised by the black Nazi uniforms and striped prisoner uniforms.Task: You are a costume designer on a film set. Can you design two costumes, one which gives the impression of a person who is of far lower status than the other? They could be of modern day or of a previous era, the only challenge is that the two outfits convey different status/ class. They might consider rich celebrities to be of higher status, or royalty, or the very well educated.They could include only sketches, or might choose to include fabric swatches and/ or a mood board.

Wk 6.4Design for a screen print



Screen print for clothes. Students should design an image for a screen print. They should understand that this is the usual process by which clothes today are printed. They should consider printed images on clothes and collect some examples which inspire them, ie t-shirt images, placing them in sketchbooks. The teacher might remind them of how a stencil works, in regard to the necessity of it staying in one piece when you cut out the areas where the ink will go.Students then design their own image for printing, ie a rottwieller’s head, a shoe print, a flower, pouting lips. It may be a logo.

HA will create more than one initial design, possibly as several thumbnails, and use this to then create one final and well thought out design.

If screen printing equipment is not available, students could do a lino print or a block print using stencil and sponge

Wk 6.5-Printing

Making work safely and as part of a team, with an understanding of process and the actions required to successfully follow each

Students should prepare their stencil for print. Simplify the design if necessary, and cut it out. Some students may print this lesson, some may not be ready until next lesson. It’s likely they won’t have screen printed before, so a demonstration may be required, and they might print best in pairs, so that they can support each other with holding down equipment

technique to improve and produce good quality outcomes;

etc.Printing on fabric may be preferential, to feel like they are printing clothes, but paper will do.

Wk 6.6-Revise and evaluate

Evaluating use the specialist language of discourse to express views and interpretations, drawing on their understanding of the creative works they study using spoken and written forms.

Evaluation.What have we learned about the importance and the effects of fashion? - Answer may be one or two sentences in sketchbook, or may be annotated images, it could be a group discussion.Evaluate peers and own screen prints, using the knowledge acquired throughout the project. Ie, the assumptions the wearer may be perceived as, a rottweiler’s head might suggest they are violent/ aggressive or want to be feared, the colours used might make the impression even bolder or more aggressive.
