Student Art and Design Work

 Class; Year 8

Unit: Still-life and Lettering

Aims: To learn from observation how to draw lettering accurately, know the rules of perspective and ellipses and be able to generate relevant papier mache sculpture ideas related to Pop Art.

Objectives	Key words	Teaching ideas	Homework
Draw from observation focus on guidelines, composition and accuracy	Font, lettering, accuracy, guidelines, observe,	Starter: on a small piece of paper  try own name in different ways/styles/fonts. Input: using guidelines, board demonstrations, cylindrical forms, using curved guidelines, angles and composition Activity: observation drawing of packaging (Drawing Test) Plenary: peer marking, go through accuracy, guideline and linear qualities	Draw three packaging objects arranged together
Learn how to draw ellipses in perspective	Ratio, ellipse, perspective	Starter: compare homework in pairs and give a mark out of 6 for guidelines, composition and accuracy and take an average Input: board examples, individual demonstrations holding a plant pot. Go through rules through observation Activity: draw tin/ flower pot at different heights. Worksheet on ellipses, practice drawing ellipses different sizes and angles Plenary: summarize and questioning rules for drawing ellipses accurately.	Draw four cylindrical objects in one arrangement, add packaging lettering to one of them
Draw accurately using ellipses and guidelines	Cylinder, tone, scale	Starter: do a revision drawing labeled that explains clearly rules of drawing a cylinder with ellipses Input: demonstration-  draw on board Activity: observation drawing test using packaging on cylindrical forms, Pringles and tins of beans/soup Plenary: summarize successes and failures, evaluate	Draw a tin with its label accurately and use guidelines and add colour
Learn different styles and fonts	Guidelines, logo, tag, accuracy	Starter: divide double pages into three sections and draw letter of first name in first section using guide-lines Input: show samples from magazine cuttings of letter J with guidelines drawn over Activity: stick in eight different examples of one letter, then add guidelines and copy the examples, when completed, so the same with some logo/advertising designs Plenary: questioning successes and failures using guidelines, difficulties/variations/observations, show examples	Draw four logo designs from soda bottles, colour using collage
Composition, pleasing or not (aesthetics)	Geometric Golden mean, composition	Starter: draw three geometric shapes into four composition boxes, discuss the best arrangement Input: golden mean, samples of architecture, dividing up a page Activity: draw from observation, close up sections Plenary: peer discussion line up work best to worst composition designs	Set up a still life of food from the kitchen and use the golden mean to design two different compositions from observation
Understand the context of the Art Movement Pop Art and identify characteristics	Pop Art, Pop Music, Art movement, style, Benday dots, Flat colour	Starter: write down the meaning of Pop Music and draw the apple logo from memory Input: open questioning related to history WW2 and consumerism, Steve Jobs and the logo court case with the Beatles. Activity: double page on Pop Art with samples drawn, Robert Indiana, Warhol and Oldenburg. Plenary: identify characteristics of each artist	Research Pop Art and draw Robert Indiana’s Love sculpture
Understand how artists influence/share each others ideas and style, know the limitations and copyright laws	Three dimensional, two dimensional, copyright, critical study	Starter: look at art of Robert Indiana, Google logo and Rage album design, write down the similarities and place them in order Input: samples shown, logistics and copyright, critical studies, how one artist will influence another and ideas develop Activity: develop own ideas Plenary: how to design your own lettering sculpture	Draw a sculpture based on your own word/name and bring in a sweet wrapper
Improve observational drawing accuracy	Section, Detail, Media	Starter: divide page into four and start drawing a section of wrapper Input: close up of a sweet wrapper x 4 show sample and discuss different materials Activity: draw four different sections close up in different materials using different techniques Plenary: detail, relevant media	Do a close up section of a food label using colour pencils-front and back view
Relate own ideas to Warhol and Oldenburg	Sculpture, design development	Starter: describe the 2D and 3D examples of Pop Art, relating to Warhol and Oldenburg Input: describe possible ideas of sculpture related to some homework, relate to Warhol Activity: 3 design ideas Plenary: questioning on how to change 3D idea to 2D-show Warhol example	Draw food spilling out of packet or can
Learn how to sell an idea	Location, form	Starter: get into pairs and decide on best design idea Input: show selling board and demonstration of how to make a papier mache sculpture and structure-card and chicken wire Activity: create a board of one board, with a selling tag, instructions of how to make it, location photograph and drawings of sections Plenary: two people to get up and talk about their work to the class. Discussion and make list of what to bring in	Finish selling board and bring in all materials to make the sculptures.
Understand 3D proportions	Intentions, relevance	Starter: in pairs explain basic structure of intended sculpture Input: discuss accuracy of proportions, importance of measuring to get correct enlargement without distortions Activity: make basic sculpture shape Plenary: packing up and organization, successes and failures
Using guidelines and achieving quality of finish	Evaluation, success, quality of finish	Starter: evaluate process so far and plan making Input: add importance of using guidelines-demonstration on a 3D model Activity: draw accurate labels on and paint Plenary: discussion and evaluation	Write up Evaluation
