Creative Arts - Art Autumn 1

 

During Autumn 1 we will be completing a Art unit.

'Explore and Draw' 

Key Disciplines:  Drawing, Sketchbooks, Collage

Themes: Natural Forms, Seasonal Changes, Patterns, Symmetry

Aims:  Children are empowered to go out into the world, re-see, collect and re-present through drawing.

Outcomes: To give pupils the opportunity to continue practicing their observation and mark-making skills in a large scale drawing.

Key Art Skills:

I have seen how some artists explore the world around them to help them find inspiration.

I can explore my local environment (school, home, etc) and collect things which catch my eye.

I can explore composition by arranging the things that I have collected.

I can talk about what I collected, and how and why I arranged the things I collected.

I can take photographs of my artwork and I can think about focus and light.

I can use careful looking to practice observational drawing, and I can focus for 5 or 10 minutes.

I can hold an object and I can make a drawing thinking about the way the object feels. 

I can combine different drawing media such as wax resist and watercolour, graphite and water, wax crayon and pencil in my observational drawings.

I can work small in my sketchbook and on large sheetsof paper, exploring how I can use line, shape and colour in my work.

I can cut out and collage to explore composition.

I can talk about the work I have made with my classmates, sharing the things I thought were successful and thinking about things I would like to try again.
