INTENT: For children to use a variety of tools to add detail to a 3D image.
IMPLEMENTATION: We used our totem pole designs from the previous week to make a 3D scultpure using card and colouring pencils. We were inspired by the First Nation art work including the work of Henry Hunt.
IMPACT: Children could use their annotated designs from the previous week to make a mock totem pole out of cardboard.
INTENT: For children to use a variety of implements and techniques to make their totem pole design from clay.
IMPLEMENTATION: We reviewed various techniques in clay such as slip and scoring. We used our cardboard designs from last lesson to create our form from clay. We then used a variety of clay tools to create finer details on our totem pole.
IMPACT: Children could use a variety of techniques in clay to make a 3D version of their design in lessons 2 and 3.
INTENT: For children to compare and contrast artists from the sisterhood of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
IMPLEMENTATION: First we studied artists from the Pre-Raphaelite sisterhood. Then we explored the use of cool and warm colours to create different emotions. Finally we created collage pages explaining our learning from today.
IMPACT: Children were able to explain the use of warm and cold colours to create emotions in the art work of the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood.
INTENT: For the children to experiment with watercolours and brushes.
IMPLEMENTATION: Children were given a small piece of sugar paper (similar texture to watercolour paper). They were then given different instructions, such as use 1 paint brush of water, use no water etc to see what the different effects were on the painting quality.
IMPACT: Children were able to experiment with their artist 'tools' before using them on their final piece in a few weeks time.
INTENT: For children to plan a watercolour painting inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood.
IMPLEMENTATION: First we studied some different watercolour techniques. Then we reminded ourselves of the use of pose, expression and symbolism in the art work of the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood. Then children sketched three different first designs for their final piece in pencil and then used watercolours to complete it.
IMPACT: Children were able to create three first designs for a watercolour painting inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood.
INTENT: For children to create a final watercolour painting inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood.
IMPLEMENTATION: First we looked at our three first designs from last week and evaluated them. Then we decided on our final design and sketched the outline in pencil. Finally we used watercolours using a variety of techniques to finish our final piece.
IMPACT: Children were able to create a final design of a watercolour painting inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood.
INTENT: To compare and contrast the sketches of Henry Moore during the Blitz
IMPLEMENTATION: First, we looked at the war time sketches of Henry Moore and discussed the use of light, shadow and reflection. Then we reminded ourselves of different shading techniques such as cross hatching, stipling and ink wash. Then we created a sketch book page about Henry Moore and annotated our sketches.
IMPACT: Children could discuss the Blitz sketches of Henry Moore and the use of form.
INTENT: To create an initial design of sketches inspired by Henry Moore.
IMPLEMENTATION: Children created several designs for sketches inspired by Henry Moore’s Blitz sketches using a range of sketching techniques
IMPACT: Children are able to use a variety of different shaped lines to indicate form in my drawings.
INTENT: To create/evaluate a final sketch inspired by Henry Moore’s Blitz sketches using a variety sketching techniques.
IMPLEMENTATION: After evaluating their initial designs, children created their final sketch based on Henry Moore's work.
IMPACT: Children are able to review and revisit their work in order to evaluate their own work and suggest improvements.
Children are able to make comments on the methods and approaches used in their work, compared to that of great artists.
