Art and Design

Year 5

Module 5

Collage

Pupils should be taught to develop their techniques, including their control and their use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design.

Pupils should be taught:

to create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas
to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay]
about great artists, architects and designers in history.

Module 4

Sculpture

Pupils should be taught:

to create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas
to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay]
about great artists, architects and designers in history.

Throughout this module, we have been studying sculpture in our art lessons. Our project aim was to create a clay tile that incorporated a geometric design. We began by learning how to use a compass to create a circle ready for us to incorporate this into our design. We reseached different geometric patterns across the world, including ones from Spain and Marrakesh, as well as artwork from different religions. Following this, we practised repeating different geometric designs so that we could create our own to mark directly onto our tile. Once we had done this, we created our tile, marked on our pattern and then painted it to seal it.

Module 3

Painting

Pupils should be taught:

to create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas
to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay]
about great artists, architects and designers in history.

Lesson 1: hues, tints, tones and shades

Kestrel Class learned what hues, tints, tones and shades are and how they are different. Children explored these by mixing their own to.

Lesson 2: using tints, tones and shades

Children used the skills learnt to create different tones, tints and shades to create mountain ranges. Some children tried to match the different shades, tones and tints to a sunset scene.

Lesson 3: Ideas, feelings and mood

Children find out about Welsh artist Kyffin Williams and explored a variety of his artwork.

Children then looked at the different ideas, feelings and moods portrayed in his work.

Lesson 4: landscape painting

Children used what they have learnt in this module to create a mountainous landscape using hues, tints, tones and shades.

Module 2

Print Making

Our topic for this term is 'Print-Making' and we have been looking at relief printing as part of this topic.

We used styrofoam boards to carve a pattern into which we could then print onto paper and card. We used a brayer (a special rolling brush) to apply our ink paint which allowed our print to be left on our paper. We were then able to use the same art piece to create several prints from our image. As we are close to Christmas, our art work was inspired by this and we used our prints to create cards for our families at home.

We explored the idea of layering colours and we able to print our first image and then add more designs to our art piece by recarving and repriting in a different colour. This allowed us to create a new colour layer to out design.

Module 1

Drawing

Our focus this module is 'Drawing' and we have begun by exploring different types of shading as well as perspective.

Kestrel class have explored 4 types of sketching so far including; stippling, hatching, cross hatching and contour cross hatching. They used the darkest point to show where light is coming from and also used the shade to show where shadows are cast.

Use different techniques for purpose eg. different styles of shading.
to create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas.
to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay].

As well as shading, we have been studying perspective in order to give our sketches a more realistic feel. This including looking at the vanishing point, horizon line and the lines of perspective on a drawing/image. Working from a variety of images, we recreated one of our choice, creating a more realistic sketch with the notion of perspective. Within this sketch, we also incorporated our knowledge of shading to contribute to a realistic art piece.

Draw from different viewpoints considering horizon lines
Begin to consider perspective
Work from a variety of sources including observation and photographs to develop own work.
