examining paintings from impression to contemporary and creating a painting in the style of David Hockey No. of Lessons: 10 x doubles Total Time: : 11hours Group: 28 Colaiste Mhuire Co- Ed No. of Pupils: 2 th years Aims: To help pupils to: Develop skills in the observation of everyday manmade objects Learn to represent a 3d object in 2d form Develop the relevant vocabulary to describe the elements in the object they are exploring. Develop drawing skills through preliminary sketches and practicing elements within their chosen object with an emphasis on line, shape, tone and form. Develop an awareness of space and dept for example foreground, background, light and dark Create a still life composition of their objects Overall Learning Outcomes for the Scheme: On completion pupils should be able to: Demonstrate a knowledge of observation and drawings skills through a process of preliminary drawings which support a finished piece Recreate a 3d object in 2d form working to the scale of their chosen object. Examine, discuss and identity key elements of their chosen object using artistic vocabulary Demonstrate knowledge of line, tone shade and form though preliminary works to support their knowledge towards a creation of their finish piece Demonstrate awareness of space and dept in their preliminary works and show an understanding of this by using foreground and background in their finished piece. Create a still life composition of their objects
Investigating/Exploring/Creating (include illustrations, especially your own work):
Investigate Students will investigate artists i.e. Vincent Van Gogh, Cezanne David Hockey(collage) looking at colour shape tone brushstrokes and subject matter. Students will investigate their object through a series of preliminary line, tone, and pencil drawings to support their process of observational drawing.
. Students will explore and investigate colour to gain a greater understanding of the colour wheel, mixing colour, the primary colours, the secondary colours and the tertiary colours. This will give the students a greater understanding of colour and colour mixing in advance of their creative process.
Primary Colours: Red, yellow and blue In traditional colour theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colours are the 3 pigment colours that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colours. All other colours are derived from these 3 hues. Secondary Colours: Green, orange and purple These are the colours formed by mixing the primary colours.
Tertiary Colours: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green These are the colours formed by mixing a primary and a secondary colour. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.
Explore Students will explore light shape proportion colour and will explore David Hockeys styles of painting and collages. Also his use of block colours. Midtones look closely and examine the objects and to know what a good composition is and how to correctly compose a still life. Explore angles using a viewfinder. Students will explore their chosen object through observational drawing by looking at different angles, perspectives, light and shadows. Students will investigated different tonal qualities that help make a form look three dimensional on a two dimensional surface. Observing scale by paying close attention to their object the way it is position in front of them by looking foreground and background.
Creating Students will begin creating preliminary drawings and painting. Firstly they will use a bamboo stick to create a painting to loosen them up before creating a midtone colour study (black, grey, white). Then they will create a painting of a section using a viewfinder they will make and create a composition that is visually interesting. Make a composition which conveys space and form by incorporating line and tonal qualities to represent a three dimensional object in two dimensional forms.

Teaching/Learning Strategies:
Introduce students to artists who have created paintings with vivid brush strokes, colour and blocks of colour with emphasis on shape and line by showing them imagery, videos, and having a discussion in class about the different artists and their styles. Distribute visual aid on imagery to help students to get some ideas to encourage them to be more creative and help with their initial creative process. Demonstrate the use of line and colour for example tone, colour mix and shading techniques. Facilitate visual aid for students to reference during their creative process. Demonstrate how to compose a correct composition using a viewfinder Demonstrate how to represent a 3d object in to 2d form by showing them and by doing a brief drawing and handing out visuals to aid their process. Demonstrate how to compose a still life composition by carefully considering shapes height width and light and discuss these key requirements whilst arranging my objects on a table Discuss with students at various stages of the scheme to see what is working and what is not working using students work as an example. I will use an a example of each students work both successful and unsuccessful Conclude the scheme by displaying students work allowing students to view the work of their peers I will do this by placing students work around the art room and allowing students to walk around and view their peers work.
Materials: Camera , Pencils, Ruler Masking tape, drawing boards, scissors, scalpel, glue newspaper, coloured card brown paper, wool, stick, ear buds, brushes, jars, acrylic paint,A6- a1(2) Safety Precaution: Students to follow art cleaning rules and must return material to storage Students must follow guidelines for using scissors scalpel and paint Be careful when handling equipment (digital) No running in classroom, etc.
Differentiation: Adjust scheme to suit individual students learning abilities. For the less able students I will reduce the amount of detail required for them to incorporate into their piece. For those with stronger abilities I will encourage them to add extra detail. Visual aids will be used to reinforce all students learning throughout this scheme. Students who are finding the task difficult will be paired alongside a more competent student: Adjust scheme to suit individual students learning abilities. For the weaker students I will reduce the amount of detail required for them to incorporate into their piece facilitating them to look at line. For those with stronger abilities I will encourage them to add extra detail in terms of their use of line, tone and colour. Visual aids will be use to reinforce all students learning throughout this scheme.
Timeline/Sequence of Lessons: Week 1 (140mins) Introduce students to images and artists, have a discussion on ideas on what theyre going to create, their approach and methods demonstrate some of the techniques and all students will begin working on their bamboo stick pieces PowerPoint presentation discuss artist prompt discussions with carefully planned questions. Demonstrate colour mixing(wheel), set up composition arrange objects, midtone colour studies. Week 2 (140 mins) continue working on their midtone colour studies students will be looking at visual aid and will be deciding which composition they will be using in their piece and will continue their making process. Week 3 (140mins) Discussing with students what is working and not by displaying students work (Section) as an example. Repeat demonstration on how to correctly mix colours. discuss key elements such as lights darks shape and tonal qualities and begin working on final piece Week 4.(140mins) Discuss thoughts, ideas, developments, progress and areas for development introduce worksheet on artists to students to access how much information they remember and continuation of painting. Week 5 (140mins) Continue and complete process and students will be displaying their finished piece in their classroom review and discuss the work
