Link: Look at examples of work from the Year 12 sculpture workshop food portfolio. (Look at how they have presented and developed their ideas).
Lesson 1:
Presentation on perspective.
Give out question on 'Collection of objects and identity'. and brainstorm ideas.
Clothes, accessories and make-up can reveal a great deal about an individual’s identity and interests. Objects, can be readily associated with certain occupations or activities such as hairdressing, journalism, skateboarding and climbing. Make a collection of personal objects to show who you are and what you are about and place them in a box.
Brainstorm
Make a list of the objects that you can collect to portray your identity and interests.
Homework:
Photograph the objects in the box and consider the use of a light source to highlight the light and shadows. Change the objects around
Bring box with objects to the lessons. The idea behind collecting the objects is to develop the drawing workshop.
Lesson 2:
Start to practice drawing ellipses, cubes considering tone
Lesson 3 and 4:
Analytical Drawing (students who did textiles can produce work using the skills gained last year, by doing collage work, Quilting, Appleque work, patchwork, batik, silk painting and any other mixed media techniques)
Lesson 3: Skeletal structure and Ellipses (A2 size). Measured drawing with thumb and pencil. Show Contour lines(A2 size) Draw all the objects together in the box
Lesson 4: Tonal study (use pencil, pen, mixed media) you can focus on a close up section (X2, A3 size studies)
Lesson 5: Produce a tonal study and then work over with a rubber, then focus on the shapes you want to bring back.
Lesson 6: Altering scale (select section from the boxed still life and blow up to A1 size (look at the work of Claus Oldenburg)
Lesson 7: ink study

1st week: Drawing: buildings-measured drawing and perspective (use school environment, easels and draw from life with pencil.
2nd Week: 1 Drawing: buildings: shape, tone, line, using charcoal and chalk
3rd Week Drawing: buildings: Mixed media study using ink wash, paint and charcoal.
4th week: draw negative spaces in the landscape
week 1
week 2
week 3
Week 4: Drawing of negative spaces in landscape
Lesson 1:
Watch documentary on Frank Gehrey https://youtu.be/E0amON0l_1o and collect images of the buildings. Show students work project on crowds and tell them to collect materials for the next lesson , as they will be doing a model of a street with buildings. Links for documentaries below.
Link to Frank Ghery line drawings: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1o1jAd5htNUc73segfrWWmuPkneZVrKFh?usp=sharing
lesson 2,3,4 and 5:
produce a street model using cardboard, string, foil paper and normal paper based on the ideas and work of the architect Frank Gehrey.
Consider how light will travel through the buildings and remember to have a street ,path or road going through your model.
Must not look like any building you have seen before.
Must have geometrical and organic shapes in the design.
Consider maybe using elements of the inside of a building in the outside.
Students have total freedom in their design and use of materials.
Lesson 6:
Drawings based on the model using graphite and white spirit
Black and white pencil on brown paper.
Lesson 7:
Take photos in the dark room of the cardboard model using a light source to create dramatic shadows. make sure they bring a light source (mobile, torch and tea candle lights).
Lesson 8, 9 and 10:
Use Photoshop to convert some of your preferred photos into black and white and then increase the contrast of the tones to make the light and shadow areas more dramatic.
Select one of your photos (close up) and paint in a squared shaped board with black and white paint. Print it out in a small size and use the overhead projector to project image for tracing onto a squared board.
Start to paint it using black and white paints. Experiment with tone.
Lesson 11, 12, 13, 14: Create a story for the scene
Using Photoshop select 3 photos to merge together horizontally.
Convert to black and white and then you need to start adding figures to the composition. You must write a short story based on what the figures are doing in your new composition.
Consider the size of the figures when placing them in your composition to create perspective and distance. You can take photos of yourself or friends or also get figures from the internet.
Start to copy your composition onto a board, canvas or paper to paint in black and white. The composition will be a rectangular composition

Antonio Rojas Jerez 2024 exhibition catalogue
Artists: Eva Rothschild, Matt Calderwood, Nairy Baghramian, Erwin Wurm
Introduction: You will be working in small groups and as an individual to generate a series of sculptures that may only be temporary but will engage with some of the basics of sculpture: using materials and processes, exploring gravity and balance, considering structure, space and the body.
1. BODY ARCHITECTURES Following from Erwin Wurm’s ‘One-minute sculptures’, you will working in groups and be given a series of quick challenges to make improvised constructions using the body. You will be asked to think about negative space, personal space and what sculpture can be.
2. BODY ACTION SCULPTURE You will be asked to make a sculpture or prop for your own body that becomes a complete work of art when combined with an action. This can be logical or not. It doesn’t have to be functional. Think about body volumes, limb volumes, restricting or extending the body, using objects, performing actions.....
3. FREE-STANDING SCULPTURE Exploring the basics of sculptural practice, you will be asked to make a three-dimensional structure that explores space, gravity and balance. Your sculpture must be freestanding. Not attached to the floor/wall. Not suspended. No cheating.
Explore gravity, balance, and scale to experiment with your objects and materials. You might also consider connections, it could be basic tape, glue guns, or fixings from the workshop, or perhaps cardboard slotting together without any fixings...
Materials and Possible Directions: You will initially be working with quick materials, such as cardboard and tape, but your materials can change as you develop your work. Remember that your material choices make a huge difference to the meaning it will carry. Be resourceful with the materials you use.
Look at http://foundation3d.myblog.arts.ac.uk/ for lots of hints, suppliers, and examples.
http://foundation3d.myblog.arts.ac.uk/ experiment-simple-and-fast/ will show you examples of a simple free materials used in lots of different ways.

1. BODY ARCHITECTURES
2. BODY ACTION SCULPTURE
3. FREE-STANDING SCULPTURE
Students will study the anatomy of skulls.
Students will look and analyse the work of Artists: Alberto Giacometti, Auguste Rodin and Pablo Picasso.
Students will try two different techniques:
Solid block of clay and use a reductive method.
Create a hollow head on a wooden structural frame adding and overlaying clay on top of each other. (see video bellow)
Students will document work and present it mounted inside a sketchbook or on sheets.
Students documentation of Sculpture Head workshop
Pablo Picasso
Alberto Giacometti
Auguste Rodin
For this project you will be working in pairs.
You must react to the materials available and start to develop a sculptural form without thinking of a final outcome.
You will develop the idea as you go along and use the paper provided to make drawings with your partner to document your ideas.
You must also use photography for documentation.
The link bellow will give you activities to develop your Year 12 portfolio.

Measured drawing
Graphite speed drawing focusing on shape, form and line
charcoal and white chalk study focusing on shapes and tone
Expressive drawings based on looking at shapes.
Negative spaces study using black paint
Produce 4 compositional ideas based on your drawings and the artists work.
You can develop your compositions by: Suggestions
rotating your paper around every time you draw an element from one of your drawings.
connect drawings together considering space, scale and distance.
produce the opposite of what you would usually do.
repeating sections of the drawings.
Make sure you consider the artist way of working and shade in areas of texture to create atmosphere like John Virtue did in his paintings.
