AD5
Creating an art image
Creating an art image
Unit brief
Learners will explore the work of 2D artists, developing skills and techniques in drawing, painting and mark making to produce an art image based on the work of selected 2D artists.
Unit introduction
Have you ever wondered how you draw a picture? Do you look at paintings and sketches and wonder how the artist produced the image? Being able to draw, sketch and use 2D materials helps you express your ideas and create pieces of work on paper or canvas using different materials to draw exciting and creative images.
In this unit, you will use 2D materials such as pencils, paints, inks, pastels and chalks. You will experiment with different techniques in mark making and drawing. You will look at artwork produced by other artists and will use their work as a starting point to create your own work. You will produce a portfolio of work that shows your development in drawing art images, using your research of an artist as a starting point.
The transferable and sector skills you develop in this unit can enable you to progress to further learning. They will also support you in completing the core skills units in Group A of the qualification.
Learning aims
A Produce an art image using 2D materials
B Manage information and self when producing an art image.
