Starter: Selecting an image
Look through your concertina book and select 2 artists/primary images which engage you the most - reflect on your development cycles.
Lesson Aims: To respond to your chosen theme by creating a series of A2 studies that link to your artist research.
Assessment Objectives: AO1 / AO2 / AO3 / AO4
Lesson Objectives (during this lesson you will):
1. Select an artist or primary image from your concertina to enlarge
2. Work with paint and charcoal to create a min of 1 A2 study
3. Receive 1-1 teacher feedback - highlighting targets for start of project
4. Present your study to the class in a mini-critique.
Extension: Cover an A2 sheet in charcoal and 'rub' into it to create your drawing.
Tasks:
Backgrounds:
Choose the dominant colour within your image and using a brush or a paint roller create an expressive background.
A2 Studies:
Using charcoal 'up-scale' your selected image onto your background. What marks / tone can you see within your image? Work loosely and don't be afraid to draw/smudge over lines that have gone wrong! Be inspired by your classmates around you...
Student Examples:
Plenary: Mini-Critique!
Display your studies and walk around the room viewing each other's work. As a group we will reflect on the following 2 questions...
1. What are the drawings successes?
2. How would you develop the drawing further?
