Merritts-Brook-Art-and-Design-Whole-School-Curriculum-Planning-Nursery-Year-6

Merritts Brook E-ACT Primary Academy Art and Design Curriculum Due to the nature of Early Years teaching and learning, Expressive Arts and Design will be taught as part of the wider Curriculum and all disciplines will be covered throughout the Nursery and Reception Year linked to topics and themes The EYFS EAD long term plan will not be planned in half termly blocks like Key Stage and (In Nursery and Reception emphasis will be placed on the creative process, not the finished product At this early stage, art is primarily about the children’s exploration and engagement with a variety of media and materials in the world around them – finding out what things are all about and what they can be made to It is also about the children developing their knowledge and understanding of language and fine motor skills ) Nursery Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE: Drawing Knowledge: Art Practice • Drawing happens when marks are made on or in something, such as paper, the wall, the floor, mud, sand etc • Marks can be made in many ways, using lots of different tools– such as a pencil, chalk • Drawing tools are objects I use to make marks, such as pens, pencils, chalk • Drawing, marks can be made using other natural materials -such as stones, sticks and wood • There are basic drawing movements: Round and round –it’s a circular movement that has no beginning or end Up and down –this line is created by moving the arm holding your writing tool up and down Back and forth –this movement is created by moving a writing tool from side to side across the page • Drawings can be big (large scale) or small • In drawing, lines can be used to enclose a space, these lines and spaces can be used to represent objects • If we mix colours in a drawing they will change and look different Knowledge: Art Theory • Drawings can share/show ideas, thoughts, feelings and experiences • Drawings can be about things we have seen or experienced • We can talk about a drawing at what it means • An artist is a person who Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE: Painting Knowledge: Art Practice • Painting is a type of art where pictures/drawings/marks are made using colours, shapes, and lines • Artists paint pictures usually using a tool called a paint brush and materials called paint • Paint brushes come in different sizes; a thick paint brush paints a thick line (A bigger line.) • A thin paint brush paints a thin line (A smaller line.) • Painted Marks can be made in many ways, using lots of different tools and objects– including spatulas, roller, sponges and their hands/fingers etc • Painting tools and paint have to be used safely (Know how to use tools safely.) • Paint can be washed off of tools using water • Paint is wet and has to be left to dry We place art on a drying rack to this • We can mix paint colours together • If we mix colours they can change and look different • If we add water to paint it changes and gets thinner, if we add more paint or other materials it gets thicker • We can apply paint by brushing, stroking, dripping, splattering with tools • We wear an apron when painting to keep our clothes clean Knowledge: Art Theory • Artists are what we call people Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE: Sculpture Knowledge: Art Practice • A sculpture is a piece of art that is 3d (not flat.) • Sculptures can be made out of anything – paper, sand, mud, junk modelling, objects, play dough, clay etc… • Some materials can be moulded in to different shapes (forms) with our hands by pressing, pushing, rolling, pinching, hammering, stretching • Children will need to have knowledge of the language Poking, pressing, rolling, squeezing, pinching, hammering, stretching • Poking, pressing, rolling and squeezing some materials such as clay and dough can change its shape • If we add water to clay it will make it easier to change its shape • Sculptures come in different shapes and sizes They can be made indoors or outdoors • You can make a sculpture by yourself or in a group • Sculptures can feel different – some are smooth, rough, hard, bumpy… • Children need to have knowledge of the texture language Knowledge: Art Theory • A person who makes a sculpture is called a sculptor • A sculptor explores different natural and man-made materials • Sculptors have to think about what materials look and feel like and how they can be changed in to different shapes • Sculptures can share/show Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE: Collage Knowledge: Art Practice • Collage is a piece of art made by placing objects, paper, fabric or photographs on to a flat surface to create a new picture • You can choose any materials to make a collage • Collage can be stuck down or it can be just placed • Paper can be cut, ripped, torn or scrunched to make a collage • Collage can be split in to two parts: firstly, collecting materials – these can be natural or man-made • Secondly, make the collage • Collage can be made indoors or outdoors • A ‘sprinkled collage’ is where you hold materials up in the air and sprinkle them down on to a surface leaving them where they fall to make the collage Knowledge: Art Theory • Collages can share/show ideas, thoughts, feelings and experiences • Collages can be about things we have seen or experienced • We can talk about a collage and what it means • Collage materials have different textures – they can feel different – some are smooth, rough, hard, bumpy… • Children need to have knowledge of the texture language • Many famous artists have made collages • One famous collage artist is Kurt Schwitters -he used all Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE: Printing Knowledge: Art Practice • Printmaking is making art by printing pictures • Printing means to move a design on to paper or another material -moved from one place to another • In printmaking lots of copies of the same picture can be made -the picture is repeated • We can print with our hands and feet using paint or in sand, mud or clay etc • We can print using natural objects we find out side or man made objects • A roller, sponge or brush can be used to add paint or ink to a surface that you are going to print with • Paint needs to be ‘rolled’ or brushed evenly all over the surface to get a good clear print • When printing carefully push down and rub on the object you are making the print with – not let the object slide or the print will not be clear • Applying more pressure to the printing object will give the print a clearer appearance • There are different types of printing • Direct printing is where paint is added to the object you are going to print with – the object is then used to print straight on to a surface, such as vegetable printing on paper • Prints can be made from a collage by sticking materials on to a surface to create a printing block that can be painted and printed Knowledge: Art Theory Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary ric SUBJECT/TITLE: Textiles Knowledge: • The word textile is used to describe lots of different materials • We use lots of different textiles/materials when we make collages or sculptures • Textiles are used to make clothes, blankets, furniture etc • Wool can be dyed to change its colour We use wool to make jumpers and blankets etc It keeps u warm • Wool is a material that comes from sheep • Cotton is used to make clothes and other objects It is soft • Different materials are used for different reasons • Textiles can be found indoors or outdoors • In the outdoors we can use textiles to make dens and shelters to keep u warm and dry or shade us from the sun • Weaving is when we move material in and out, up and down • Weaving is used to make different types of materials and baskets Knowledge: Art Theory • Materials include fabrics, like our clothes are made from, wool, string thread, ribbon, cotton wool • Textiles all have different textures which means they feel different • Words to describe some textiles are fluffy, warm, silky, smooth, cosy, bumpy, hard, rough • Two materials that are used a lot ar wool and cotton • Wool is a soft, fluffy material and i comes from

blocks vertically and horizontally, making enclosures and creating spaces • Joins construction pieces together to build and balance • Realises tools can be used for a purpose • Uses available resources to create props to support role-play • Captures experiences and responses with a range of media, such as music, dance and paint and other materials or words Pillar – Inclusive (Mastery): We view each child as an independent and creative early learner In Nursery, emphasis will be placed on the creative process and not the end product We will recognise their individual knowledge, creativity and experiences in order to ‘scaffold’ their learning in response We will focus on developing existing early schemas observed, their individual interests and ways of thinking, taking their characteristics of effective learning into account Children will learn through play and carefully planned purposeful practical activities, led or supported by adults in the setting Adults will interact, questioning the child and offer new language in order to develop their individual, knowledge, understanding, vocabulary and skills in this aspect of their learnin and development and throughout all of the art disciplines Children will also be introduced to a range of media, materials and tools They will be given the time and freedom to explore different media and materials, working with colour, texture, shape, space and form in and dimensions Children will be encouraged to respond to what they see, hear, smell, touch and feel, communicating their own ideas, feelings and experiences in a range of ways They will be exposed to a range of new language that they will be encouraged to use independently The Nursery children will also be introduced to the work of professional artists and encouraged to comment upon what they see Pillar – Building long term memory: In Nursery the children are beginning to build long term memory -we will begin to develop this by talking about the children’s memories and experiences We will use pictures, songs and words that can be linked by memorable association and discussion We will draw on family members to share their memories and experiences too To support memory development, we will provide the children with a wealth of experiences that are delivered in a range of ways including physically, visually and auditory We will provide lots of opportunity for repetition and revisit past events and experiences linked to Expressive Arts and Design We will observe children in creative play to identify ‘schemas’ forming and then match teaching and learning in order to tap in to the children’s interests and therefore further develop their learning based on the ‘schemas’ we identify We will then offer the children new experiences that link and build upon their underlying schemas and so develop the children’s thinking and learning whilst simultaneously building their new knowledge, skills, experiences and vocabulary Teaching and Learning will be carefully planned in components/composites to build on these early memories as the children move through th key stages and key artists and craftspeople will be revisited, allowing the children to build on their long-term memory Reception Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE: Drawing Knowledge: Art Practice • Drawing can be made using different tools; pencil, chalk, pencil crayons, felt tips • When drawing you need to hold the tool in a pincer/tripod grip for good control of the tool • Drawing moves in a direction of lines, round and round, back and forth- this develops into shapes by joining the lines and curves, and representations of known objects • Drawing is used to show an idea, or a picture of something that you might see • Colour can be added to drawings to make them bright/eye-catching or to match the object/picture we are drawing Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE Painting Knowledge: Art Practice • A painting is a type of art work created from paint, drawing, shapes, objects and adding of colour • Painting can be done using different basic tools like a paintbrush, roller, and paint • You can use more unusual tools to add paint for a different effect like cotton buds, cotton balls, glue sticks, forks, (This is also links into printing) • A paintbrush can be thick and give us thicker lines, this can be best used for bigger shapes/objects to paint • A paintbrush can be thin and give us thinner lines, this can be best used for smaller Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich SUBJECT/TITLE: Sculpture Knowledge: Art Practice • A sculpture is a type of art work • A sculpture is something that is 3D, solid (Reception explore and learn vocab in maths too so an understanding or a link should be made.)

assemble and join materials they are using •Create simple representations of events, people and objects • Chooses particular colours to use for a purpose •Uses simple tools to effect changes to materials • Handles tools, objects, construction and malleable materials safely and with increasing control ELG’s: Children use what they have learnt about media and materials in original ways, thinking about uses and purposes They represent their own ideas, thoughts and feelings through design and art… ELG: They safely use and explore a variety of materials, tools and techniques, experimenting with colour, design, texture, form and function Pillar – Inclusive (Mastery): The EYFS curriculum supports the foundation of art through exploring and creating using different art mediums and materials both independently and with a beginning to set a more purposeful structure to the pupils’ art project; with an expected outcome We will develop their individual knowledge by setting out resources that will enhance their artistic curiosity and exploration skills to create inspirational pieces inspired by artists, experiences and living memory Each composite will be planned to ensure all children are able to understand, implement and evaluate their own art projects effectively We will challenge the teaching and learning of art knowledge and theory through planning and implementing effective continuous provision across EYFS, that enables the pupils to explore art through using their senses and critical thinking skills Pillar – Building long term memory: The composites of art will be covered through our learning themes in order for the pupils to build long memory with their art skills and knowledge Drawing and Painting will be developed through our focus on ‘me, myself and I’ as the pupils will be able to draw upon personal experiences and memories that will enable them to link and develop personal drawing and painting skills Then, using Arcimboldi fruit and vegetable portraits, the pupils can begin to develop their critical thinking skills, and explore other ways to create portraits of themselves and their families through drawing and painting Collage and Printing will be taught throughout our ‘Living things and Mini-beasts’ theme These art composites will be explored and developed through real, natural, first-hand experiences that will enable the pupils to talk about their discoveries, for example; the pattern on a snail’s shell, and how the links can be made to Matisse’s collage piece ‘The Snail’, to the pupils exploring and creating their own inspired ‘Snail’ artwork Finally, Sculpture and Textiles will be taught through our theme ‘Let’s celebrate’, as many living celebration experiences are linked to dancing, singing and costume-making that involves textiles Teaching and learning using our own experience of making Chinese dragon dance costume will build upon purposeful skills and embed the artistic knowledge Building Reception’s long-term memory this way enables the pupils to make the links with their art work, and feel inspired when creating together and independently Offering real experiences and learning themes enables the pupils to embed the artisti knowledge, language and skills long term and puts them in a good place for KS1 curriculum where their foundation of art is ready to build upon

Design Curriculum • • • • • • • • There are many different types of lines used in drawings Lines help to create movement, energy and direction in art Straight lines can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal Expressive lines are curved lines, wavy lines, they can increase the energy and add movement to a piece of art Know that different pencil grades create different line thicknesses Know that in drawing they can create texture using lines by drawing short lines in a single direction – this is called hatching We can draw a portrait using different lines When drawing a portrait, we focus on each part of the face Knowledge: Art Theory • Lines can suggest something more than just what can be seen: movement, mood and atmosphere, the subject's emotions, the artist's emotions and ideas • Lines are used by artists and designers to describe objects, add detail or create expression Lines define an artwork and reveal the artist’s techniques • In The Rhinoceros (c.1515), Albrecht Durer uses lines to describe how he imagines the animal would look and feel • More detailed lines that are close together, combine to show hard ridges, spikey hair and areas of smooth and rough texture The overall effect is that the shell looks heavy, hard and bulky even though it is a drawing on a flat page • A portrait is a drawing of mainly the face and head • • A self-portrait is a portrait the

and yellow mixed together make green A basic colour wheel helps us to understand how colours are mixed The thickness of a brush has an effect on the lines painted – thicker the brush, the thicker the line etc We can use different techniques with our paint brush, including a sweep or dab Flat or rectangular brushes have square, flexible ends and can hold a lot of paint When used flat, they can make long strokes and are well suited to blending and painting in large areas The tip and sides can also be used for more delicate lines and small touches Round and pointy brushes have a large belly that tapers to a fine point They're capable of bold strokes that can cover large areas, they can also be used for fine lines and details Small-size brushes are used for detail work, and large-size brushes for painting large areas and washes Lots of different tools can be used to apply paint not just paint brushes – sponge, wooden sticks, forks, natural materials Blending/smudging is used to create a soft background colour, then adding details on top with finer and more defined lines in different colours We can use different paints – ready mixed, powder Knowledge: Art Theory: • You can use paint to share your ideas and experiences • • • • • • • Materials can be changed by shaping and/or cutting and joined using glue, tape and other materials to make a sculpture Some materials can by pinched, bent, waved or rolled to change their shape Sculptures can be made out of paper and card- bending it and cutting it Sculptures can be made from recycled materials, boxes, cardboard tubes etc Craft sticks, pipe cleaners, tooth picks, wood pieces can all be used to make sculptures Glue, tape, string, hot glue can all be used to hold simple objects together to make a structure A line can enclose a space to make a basic shape – square, triangle, rectangle, circle -these can form our paper sculpture Knowledge: Art Theory • Paper sculpture is artwork created by shaping different types of paper • Most sculptors use paper as one of the materials in their sculpture • Chris Gilmour is a sculptor who specializes in making life-size objects made solely from cardboard and glue • The British artist recycles packaging material into detailed sculptures without the use of any supporting frames, wood or metal • Each represents an object from everyday life, but rendered in cardboard it takes on a whole new presence • He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries all over the World • Calvin Nicholls is a paper artist today • He uses paper to create • • • • • • • • • •

material to create images from a variety of media – crepe paper, fabric, magazines Create a variety of images (representation of an object, thing or person in art) on different backgrounds Use a combination of materials that have been cut, torn, glued Gathering and sorting materials they will need Collages can be made using a range of materials Materials can be cut and assembled (brought together) onto paper to make a larger picture You can use: paper, flowers, wood, ribbon, string, buttons, leaves, grass and fabric An artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of coloured or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, and such, glued to a piece of paper or canvas and natural materials You can use glue, coloured masking tape, stickers, or contact paper to stick different materials together You can collage on paper, cardboard, windows, 3-D objects, and even bodies Knowledge: Art Theory • Paul Klee was a Swiss-German artist • He was one

picture can be printed Each print is not an exact copy, but an original, since it came from the same source (not like painting or drawing) You can also use different types of techniques to start the print Nature prints are direct impressions of life The natural object is printed If natural objects are left on sugar paper in the sun they will have produced a print naturally once removed Many found objects can be used to make a print When direct printing, ink or paint is simply applied directly to the object and it is printed! The greater amount of ink applied, the stronger the colour, but you lose detail Paint, ink and felt markers can be applied to objects to print with The object has to be placed down on to paper ink side down, a cover paper is placed over the top and then rubbed over with your hand to transfer the print to the paper These prints can make a repeating pattern A repeating pattern in print is produced when the print is repeated in the same way in horizontal or vertical lines Knowledge: Art Theory • Repeat Patterns in art and design are the repetition of lines, shapes, tones, colours, textures and forms • Artists and designers explore patterns to discover their structure and beauty • A knowledge of how to design repeat patterns is an essential skill for any designer • Today, repeat

red, blue and yellow makes a striking image that stands out to the viewer The colours Van Gogh uses to depict the beachside scene are very bright and clear, and these reinforce the calm atmosphere of the painting The bold colours reveal that it is a sunny day, and the onetone orange for the sand suggests that the waves have washed over, leaving the beach clean and fresh A deep blue is used to convey both the sky and the sea, creating a virtual reflection on the right side of the painting where the two meet Franz Marc uses primary and secondary colours in The Tiger The tiger is made from bold yellow and black shapes They stand out against the blue leaf shapes in the bottom left of frame and the purple areas to the top right Marc gave an emotional meaning or purpose to the colours he

Different pencils create different shades of light and dark Drawing lines and dots can add patterns and textures to drawings Adding more pressure when using a pencil gives a darker tone, a lighter pressure will give a lighter tone The softer the pencil, the more texture appears in your drawing When adding tone, we start with three different tones, light, middle and dark You can make a dark tone smoother by using a cotton bud Knowledge: Art Theory • Georges Seurat was a famous artist who created many tonal drawings • He created light, dark and texture in his drawing using light and dark • George Seurat drew: Joueur de trombone, The Black horse, Pierrot and Collombine, The nurse • Seurat used pencils to create light and dark – shade • He blackened more or less entire areas of the page •

Pointillism looks like a painted picture from a distance but the closer you get the more you can see the dots • His paintings work very much like computer monitors today • George Seurat decided that instead of mixing colours you could dot different colours next to each other, the eye mixes the colours – this is optical blending • George Seurat painted: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, The Seine and la Grande Jatte – Springtime, The Eiffel Tower • In this painting he tackled the issues of colour, light, and form Inspired by research in optical and colour theory, he

effect of different shades and tones Shading techniques include: cross hatch, hatching, stripling, scrambling, pattern Hatching involves building tone using lines The thickness and number of lines and the distance between them creates the illusion of form There are different types of hatching: A cross hatch is where lines cross over each other The density at which the lines cross over each other determines the value that is produced Contour hatching uses curved lines that follow the form of a subject Stippling Dots can be used instead of lines to build up tone Stippling is applying countless small dots to build up darker values in a drawing The density of the dots determines the value produced The size, number and distance between the dots will change the tones created Blending is

of parts of a whole (elements within an object) Proportion also describes how the sizes of different parts of a piece of art or design relate to each other The proportions of a composition will affect how pleasing it looks and can be used to draw our attention to particular areas Understanding and using correct proportion in life drawing and portraits allows an artist to create wellbalanced, realistic representations of the human form We also often think of proportions in terms of size relationships within the human body The proportion of an object in a drawing or any piece of art is a

Pillar – Inclusive (Mastery): Children will be planning, designing, creating and evaluating their own work based on what they have learnt about various styles of art linked to the topics that are learning that term in other subjects The art disciplines that they will experience build on the previous learning in other year groups to allow each child to develop and embed new skills and knowledge Through a nurturing environment, children will be encouraged to critically evaluate and improve their own work based on a set of criteria linked to the expected learning for this year group Through promoting independence, children will learn to refine their own skill set and become more accomplished artists Pillar – Building long term memory: In Year by making links to and building on previous learning in EYFS, Key Stage and Year 3, long term memory will be built upon and then developed using new skills, knowledge and vocabulary We use pictures, words and films To support memory development, we will provide the children with a wealth of experiences that are delivered in a range of ways including physically, visually and auditory We will provide lots of opportunity for repetition and revisit past events linked to Expressive Arts an Design For instance, in year Children will have been introduced to the art piece: The Great Wave Off Kanagawa They studied the piece as an example of the block printing technique, in year we build on this and look at how the print uses scale and proportion to emphasise the power of nature, hence here they can build on pre-existing learning As we offer the children new experiences within the art disciplines that link and build upon their developing schemas, they will build their new knowledg skills, experiences and vocabulary within the techniques and theories of art and design Year Upper Key Stage Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich Drawing Knowledge: Art Practice • Space is a fundamental element in art – one of the seven main elements • Space is found in every piece of art work created • Space refers to the perspective (distance between and around) and proportion (size) between shapes and objects and how their relationship with the foreground or background is perceived • There are different types of spaces an artist can achieve for different effect • Positive space refers to the areas of the work with a Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich Painting Knowledge: Art Practice • To create depth in a painting it should have three areas of space – a foreground, middle ground and background • Still life’s and landscapes can be divided into foreground, middle ground and background • Each of these areas of space must be treated differently in terms of colour, tone, detail, edges, size • Colour tones can be used to divide the foreground from the background in a painting • Painters also employ tonal changes to indicate greater distance Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich Sculpture Knowledge: Art Practice • Clay comes in many varieties with different properties Different clays are suitable for different uses and situations Some clay is particularly strong and durable, making it ideal for large-scale or outdoor use Other types are chosen for their colour, texture or flexibility • Clay modelling – A kiln is required for traditional clay techniques but some clays are air-drying • Carving – A variety of materials can be carved, including wet clay and wood Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich Collage Knowledge: Art Practice • Recap that a collage is a piece of art that incorporates a variety of materials It often involves gluing things like paper, cloth, or found objects onto a canvas or board and incorporating that into a painting or composition • A collage can be added to a

collage Pillar 1: Knowledge and Vocabulary rich Printing Knowledge: Art Practice • Re call that Printing allows an image to be accurately reproduced a number of times • This process developed to enable mass production of information and images • There are many different printing techniques – recall those already used – carbon, relief, press, fabric, relief, block printing, marbling, silk

a range of techniques: Size – larger shapes appear to be closer to us and smaller objects seem further away Colour – warm, vibrant colours and darker tones seem to advance and appear closer to the viewer Cooler, less vibrant colours and paler tints recede and feel further away Placement – objects that are higher in the frame tend to look further away as if they were closer to a horizon or vanishing point Perspective – lines that grow closer together as they get closer to a vanishing point create a sense of depth and can make flat shapes seem like three dimensional forms with volume Creating perspective in art relies on the use of space Artists use perspective to represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface (a piece of paper or canvas) in a way that looks natural and realistic Perspective can create an illusion of space and depth on a flat surface such as in a drawing Perspective drawing separates objects into the foreground and the background It helps to bring dimension and realism to a drawing Three basic types of perspective one-point, twopoint, and three-point refer to the number of vanishing points used to create the perspective illusion Twopoint perspective is the most commonly used Images nearest the foreground appear largest • • • • • • • • • • • • Over lapping a shape which covers part of another seems closer Placement – objects in the foreground are positioned lower down in the frame Often warmer colours are used in the foreground, moving to cooler colours in the background An understanding of perspective developed in the early 15th century allowing painters to divide space behind the picture plane into foreground, middle ground and background The area of the picture space nearest to the viewer, immediately behind the picture plane, is known as the foreground In the foreground, the figures and objects appear larger than those in the middle- or background They are painted with greater detail than things farther away Objects in the background often appear smaller and farther away The background is usually the first thing you should paint Having a relatively simple or uncluttered background allows the focus to fall entirely on the subject Then as you paint the subject, you can work in a little colour from it into the background to help unify the painting if needed The middleground is the space naturally occurring between the foreground and the background Using a digital drawing app can support the teaching of perspective • • • • • • • • • • Knowledge Art Theory: • In the famous painting The Mona

different forms Throwing is the most recognised ceramic technique Wedged clay is centred on a pottery wheel and functional or sculptural forms are created as the clay spins Pulling is most commonly used for creating handles on cups, teapots and similar functional items A slab is a flat piece of clay which is rolled out flat This can be used for hand building pottery These slabs are joined together to create various shaped pieces of pottery The coiling method in pottery takes clay and moulds it into long thin roll This is then wrapped by placing one coil on top of another to create different shapes A slip is a technique used to secure pieces of pottery together Multiple cuts are made into each piece of clay which you are trying to secure and they are then dampened to secure them together Relief: Slabs of clay can be laid over pre-formed objects to create 3D shapes, which can then be built upon using modelling and hand building techniques Hand building is a quick and effective sculpting method Small pieces of clay are blended together to build forms such as animals, portraits and organic shapes A pottery knife is used safely to cut slabs, tiles and coils Wires and wire ended tools are used to shape and decorate the clay • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Mixing collage elements with paint can add real visual interest to your work It is important to focus on how to make sure your subject stands out from what is around it and in the background You should choose whether your subject will be darker or lighter than the background, and work accordingly Contrasting colours can also help separate the subject from the background Recall that contrasting or complementary colours are opposites on the colour wheel Another technique for separating the subject from what’s behind it is the level of detail used If a subject is detailed backgrounds could be more simplified The details help to make the subjects more prominent, especially when placed against a simple background Using contrasting colours for your subject and background not only creates contrast but helps your subject stand out from the background White paper: Old book pages, paper doilies, sheet music, menus, handwriting, your grocery list are papers that could be used to symbolise the colour white in a composition You can create all the shading you need in white areas from text and type

onto contrasting, patterned backgrounds, other images or text Drawing and painting can be added to printed background to layer work in a mixed media approach Work would need to be returned to over longer periods of time and left to dry before new layers or materials are added – ongoing Different colours could be added at a time to build up layers Stencils, printing blocks, natural materials can be used to build layers in a print In the printing process, if you not refresh the material you are using to print, the print pattern will fade with each print made on the final piece Colours are important in printing as they can smudge so careful care needs to be taken Backgrounds and layers can be created and printed on computers using digital equipment Digital art provides a tool to combine images to create dramatic and aesthetic compositions - e.g adding layers to create atmosphere and depth to an image Knowledge: Art Theory: • Screen printing can be layered to achieve multiple colours,

thread by going over th first and under the second, over the third and so on Circle weaving, also know as round weaving, is simil to regular weaving, but it’s done on a round loom instead of a rectangular loom When you string the loom, your warp strings look like bicycle spokes, an you weave in and out of these spokes (or warp strings) in a circular direction In Stick weaving, your loom is a Y-shape This loom ca be created with sticks tied together with wool Textiles can be layered, where one piece of fabric applied on top of another This works well when adding small details and embellishments to fabrics Where possible try to use fabrics of a similar weight – the background fabric needs to be able to take the weight of other layers Usually when applying layers you work from the bottom layer and work up Colour is an important aspec of any design it is something which makes the object more appealing, attractive and give the pleasure of observation Colour may have different

perspective as a beginner, you learn it’s importance It’s all about how you look at the world • Julian Opi: • Imagine you are driving • To create the impression of a road heading away into the distance, artist Julian Opie has placed a single vanishing point more or less at the centre of the image The edges of the road meet at this point and suggest a sense of receding space (Perspective

Sculpture was found in the city of Quiridua • The stones men that made the sculptures would have used stone chisels and wooden mallets to carve the intricate patterns and shapes • Maya sculptors also used limestone, wood and sandstone materials to carve sculptures • They would create ceramics to store food and drinks and also to commemorate loved ones • They originally only used one type of slip so they were monochrome meaning that they often only used one colour • They nobles in Maya society used ceramics to give as gifts • They built many monumental structures including tall pyramids and palaces They also made a lot of sculptures out of stone • One popular type of Maya sculpture was the stela A stela was a large tall stone slab covered with carvings and writing The stela was popular

Synthetic Cubist period of Picasso and Braque This period ran from 1912 until 1914 • Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were the first to use collage as a method for creating innovative art They came up with the name "collage" from the French verb "coller" which means "to glue" or "to stick" • Collage revolutionized modern art • Synthetic Cubism is a period in the Cubism art movement that lasted from 1912 until 1914 • It was also the birth of collage art in which real objects were incorporated into the paintings • Cubism was a revolutionary new approach to representing reality invented in around 1907–08 by artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque They brought different views of subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same picture, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted • At first, Pablo Picasso glued oilcloth to the surface of "Still Life with Chair Caning" in May of 1912 He also glued a rope around the edge of the oval canvas Georges Braque then glued imitation wood-grained • Andy Warhol was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art • Warhol responded to massmedia culture of the 1960s His silkscreens of cultural and consumer icons—including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Campbell’s Soup Cans, and Brillo Boxes—would make him one of the most famous artists of his generation • Warhol mimicked the repetition and uniformity of advertising by carefully reproducing the same image across each individual canvas • Warhol would use the printing process to produce this repetition and uniformity in his work for certain parts of the image but not each part • Andy Warhol was a member of the Pop Art Movement • Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the 1950s and flourished in the 1960s in America and Britain, drawing inspiration from sources in popular and commercial culture Different cultures and countries contributed to the movement during the 1960s and 70s • It began as a revolt against the dominant approaches to art and culture and traditional views on what art should be Young artists felt that what they were taught at art school and what they saw in museums did not have anything to with their lives or the things they saw around them every day Instead they turned to sources such as Hollywood movies, advertising, product packaging, pop music and

piece of art work – every drawing has composition • Composition can be planned in drawing but it can also be achieved accidentally • Good composition in drawing is all about balance – between the objects you draw and the space you are drawing in – your paper • A digital drawing app can support artists to digitally change a composition in different ways to observe the overall appearance of the piece • The frame of your picture is key – the space around your composition is what frames it • Recall that the area between the object and the frame is called ‘negative space.’ • Contrasts in a drawing affect the composition Contrast can be in size, shape, shading, themes • A contrast in a drawing can break the rhythm of the picture and change the composition Knowledge: Art Theory Paul

Practice: • Wire can be used to create sculptures – it can be bent and twisted, cut to create different shapes and forms • Wire art dates back to 3000BC • Wire is suitable material for sculpture as it can be twisted, wrapped, braided, coiled, weaved and even crochet • Natural materials or recycled products can be used to define sculptures by pressing, printing and cutting into shapes • Suitable wire sculpture can be made from galvanised copper, brass and aluminium • Wire is measured in a gauge and the higher the gauge the thinner and easier the wire is to bend Knowledge: Art Theory • Alberto Giacometti was a famous Swiss sculptor, painter, draftsman and printmaker who lived between 1901 and 1966 • He died on 11th January 1966 aged 64 • He worked mainly in Paris • His influence was through

person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist • His favourite model was his younger brother Diego • His art work has sold for many millions one of his sold for £65 million – the most expensive in an auction • He was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th Century • 1936-1940 his sculptures concentrated on the human head • Between 1938-1944 his work had a max height of 7cm which was due to reflecting the actual distance between artist and model • After WW2 his work became tall and slender figures • After his death in 1966 of heart disease he was buried
