Students start to study the beauty of Natural Forms. Workshops start with drawing skills and understanding more about observational studies, mark making, tone and colour. Students get to exepriment with printing techniques and how to work like an artist. The frist artists we look at are Karl Blossfeldt, Georgia O'Keeffe and Alice Ballard. These offer much inspiration for students as they learn more about drawing, photography, painting and clay sculpture.
Students will recieve regular verbal feedback in their lessons. They will also take part in self and peer assessments opportunities, alongside time for DIRT (dedicated, improvement and reflection time)
Students will be assessed formally in Term 3, with extra guidance on grading and how to meet the assessment objectives.
Building resilience and self esteem Promoting peer assessment and self-reflection Encouraged to discuss their ideas; share thoughts and provide constructive advice within group discussions as a way for students to improve their own work
Promoting peer assessment and self-reflection Expression through own creative outcomes Review each other’s work respectfully.
Students will be expected to use their recordings and research to develop a range of ideas, culminating in a personal and meaningful artistic response. Media to be used is a personal choice but students will be encouraged to play to their strengths whether it be working in 2D or 3D form.
Students will be assessed on their work as a portfolio against the four assessment objectives
Building resilience and self esteem Expression through own creative outcomes
Review each other’s work respectfully. Encouraged to discuss their ideas; share thoughts and provide constructive advice within group discussions as a way for students to improve their own work
Students will have the opportunity to choose from a list of starting points that are selected from past exam papers from AQA. Within their chosen theme students need to find their own angle by exploring the topic in depth; through initial recordings from direct observation and imagination. They should then proceed to investigate their theme by recording in a range of media, processes and techniques. Students will be encouraged to create a range of both 2D and 3D responses and then plan and create their own final piece to complete the unit.
Students will be assessed on this complete project (from term 1-4) using all the assessment objectives and given opportunity to reflect on their work and progress.
Building resilience and self esteem Look at the wider world of creative arts/industry
Encouraged to discuss their ideas; share thoughts and provide constructive advice within group discussions as a way for students to improve their own work
Students study the theme 'Personal Possesions' and learn more about still life and observational studies. Students may use sketchbooks and a variety of prepared surfaces on which to record their observations, ideas, feelings and insights. They may work in a range of sizes and styles using a selection of media, techniques and materials. Students are introduced to critical and contextual material in order to understand a variety of recording styles and the range of techniques used in historical and contemporary art and design practice.
Students engage in self and peer reflection and have opportunities to review and refine their work, before it gets formally assessed. Feedback is given with grading and opportunities for students to add or refine their practical work in lesson and/or in after school intervention sessions.
