Independentwork

Class to be splitinto 2. Half to be working independently drawing apples using apencil crayon to create different shades

The other halfto create a spiral design (using a template). Chld to use a plasticcup with one colour of paint in. (chld to have different colours).Chld to have white, cream, black, brown in the middle of the table.Chld to start off with a dark shade in the middle of the spiral andfade out to lighter.

Half way throughlesson children to swap activity.

To ask and answerquestions about the starting points for their work and developtheir ideas.

To record fromfirst hand observational experience.

Ask the childrento pretend they are a camera, using a view-finder.

What canthey see?

Move closer &further away what happens to the view?

Turn horizontal /vertical relate views to portrait & landscape.

Back to back witha partner. Hold view finder and describe what can see, then partnerhas to point view finder to what they think they were looking at.Repeat.

Think about howwe can draw what we see through the view finder onto paper.

Independentwork

On paper:

Using pencils &crayons, make a picture of what they see A5 size.

Topability detailed view

Middleability less detailed

Lowability simple view with a maximum of 3 objects e.g. table,pencil and book.

(To be on-goingduring drawing session)Take actual photographs of theirimages.

Compare thephotograph view (on back of digital camera or interactive whiteboard) and compare to their own picture. Have they drawn theobjects they see in the image? Have they used the correctcolours?

Plenary: Look atpart of a photo what do you think it is?

Reveal more repeat.

NB possible useof ICT Powerpoint if available

Do picturesreflect what they have observed through the view finder?

To investigatehow Briget Riley created her painting.

Use fine brushesand paint.

Toidentify what they might change in their own piece of work.

Wholeclass

What features canthe children see? In talking partners children to discussobservations. How do you think he created this image?

Discuss withchildren that up till now most artists created images from reallife and reproduced as accurately as possible. Brigit Riley wasfamous for creating popular art bright colours.

Teacher tomodel creating pattern of Brigit.

Independentwork

Children to usefine brushes to create painting.

Low teacher to provide brush

Top/middleto choose appropriately sized brush.

Plenary

Comparechildrens work with original picture. Howcould we have improved our work?

Arechildren able to select appropriate size brush?

Canchildren use a fine brush accurately?

To investigatehow

To investigatedrawing a cylinder in 3D and the text used.

To create anobservational drawing.

Look atpicture. What do they see? Why would someone paint apicture of? Discuss Pop Art.

Look ata how would we draw it in 3D (relate to mathslessons on 3D shape). Teacher to model to children drawing acylinder in 3D. Next look at proportion. we want to fill thewhole of an A5 sheet with the can where will we start? Observe thelettering used how are we going to recreate that? Look at anylogos or shapes- where are they? Discuss how we curve the letteringto give the image so it gives the illusion of 3D wrapping aroundthe cylinder. Discuss the use of a pencil for sketching lightlyfor the outline, then bolder when happy with the shape. Discuss useof an eraser and using the side of a pencil. Look at using a darkerline at the base to give the illusion of a shadow.

Independentwork

Children to drawobservational pictures of cans which can then be put together torecreate

Teacher tosupport those who need help.

Children to usepencil crayons to colour their pictures.

Lowability to have elipse already drawn for top of can and draw awith less lettering.

Middleability less detailed . With lettering/logo and simplepicture.

Topability More detailed e.g.

Investigate howto recreate this picture using felt pens and wax crayons

Review work andexpress opinion.

Look at picturediscuss colours used. Why do you think has used thesecolours? When you look at this picture how does it make you feel?Why?

How could werecreate this picture?

Explain today weare going to use felt pens and wax crayons to recreatepicture. How could we do this?

Piece of paperfolded into 4

Draw in pencil aface on one quarter. Look at the face has it got all the features hair, eyes, mouth, nose, eyebrows.

Now can werecreate the same face on the other quarters.

What mediums andcolours would we use to recreate the drawings? Would we use thesame colours for each face? refer back to . Wouldwe use the same thickness of pen/crayon? Where would we usedifferent thickness? Would use a combination of mediums on onepicture How?

Lowability Teacher to give them their medium and guidance on whereand how to use it.

Middle choose their own medium.

Plenary

Review work saywhat they like about it and why. What was most successful? Howwould they improve it?
