(1)

• This is a one-week block.

• The outline and structure of the block is as follows:

Lesson 1 Lesson 2 Lesson 3

Exploration of materials and

techniques

Explicit teaching of techniques

Applying knowledge, skills

and techniques Combining

materials

In this block, pupils will be given the opportunity to explore a range of materials, including fabric, oil crayons, chalk and paint, to create pieces of art. They will use natural and man made fibres, combining colours and textures.

Working Artistically

Shape Line Colour Value Form Texture Space

Shape is a flat (2D) area surrounded by

an outline or edge.

Lines are used to show movement and

mood.

Colour is used to convey atmosphere

and mood.

Value is the intensity of colour and depends on the amount of

white added.

Artists use form when they create sculptures.

These are 3D shapes.

Texture is the look and feel of a surface.

Space in artwork makes

a flat image look like it has

form.

Pupils will be able to:

• apply paint using controlled brushstrokes

Point of reference:

• make marks using a range of materials

• apply the resist technique, using oil crayons and paint CUSP Connections:

Art History:

Anne Kelly

Anne Kelly is a contemporary Canadian-born, UK-based artist, author and tutor. Anne has always been inspired by folk and naïve art. Her grandmother was a versatile craftswoman and she remembers being surrounded by her work from an early age. Anne’s multi-layered and densely stitched textiles have been likened to ‘small worlds’. Trained in Canada and at Goldsmiths College in London, Anne creates wall hangings and objects using a combination of mixed-media collage and hand and machine embroidery. Her teaching and gallery work take her around the UK and abroad.

Core Knowledge Explanation

fabric

Fabric is the cloth made by weaving natural materials such as cotton or silk. Fabrics can also be produced using man made materials.

yarn Yarn is the thread that has been spun and is used for knitting and making cloth.

portrait A portrait is a picture, painting or photograph of a person.

Technical Vocabulary Definition

thread (verb) to put something long and thin, such as string or thread, through a narrow hole or into a small space

assemble to come together in a single place or bring parts together in a single group

fibres any of the thread-like parts that form plant or artificial material that can be made into cloth

1. Create resist artwork using paint and wax crayons

Hold drawing tools and paintbrushes correctly Apply paint using controlled strokes

Explore methods of manipulating fabric and yarns by poking, pulling, threading and weaving Use oil crayons and paint with control to explore pattern making Explore and explain the textural effects created

For this lesson, pupils will need a thick piece of cardboard with holes made using a hole punch.

Introduce the Knowledge Note and technical vocabulary.

Make a range of materials such as fabrics, yarns and threads available to the pupils. Allow them to explore these, commenting on the colours and textures.

Demonstrate how to poke, pull, push, thread and weave the fabrics and threads into a piece of mesh to create a colourful and textured surface. Threads and pieces of string can also be knotted onto the mesh.

Explain that a textured surface can also be created by pushing small sections of fabric into holes made in cardboard. Pupils practise and experiment with this technique, using circles and squares of fabric to achieve different effects.

Finally, demonstrate drawing patterns, working left to right, across a sheet of sugar paper. Use oil crayons and encourage pupils to be creative with their patterns and colour choices.

Remind pupils to press firmly to ensure the oil pastel is applied thickly. Apply a thin wash of paint over the top, punch holes along the bottom of the paper and leave to dry.

Ask pupils to identify the effects that have been created and prompt them to use appropriate vocabulary in their responses.

Can manipulate a range of materials with control and dexterity

Can form accurate continuous patterns consisting of curved and straight lines

Can apply paint using controlled brushstrokes Can use technical and artistic vocabulary such as thread, yarn, fabric and texture to describe their work and the effects they have achieved

2. Make marks using a range of materials Knowledge of mark making and able to identify where certain materials or techniques can be used for greater effect

Explore methods of adding texture to a patterned surface Use drawing tools such as chalk in different ways and on different surfaces Explain the different ways pattern and texture can be created

For this lesson, pupils will need the patterns they created in Lesson 1.

Demonstrate how to attach lengths of string and yarn to the patterned surface, using PVA glue. Encourage pupils to experiment by using different colours of string or yarn to create interesting patterns and shapes. To complete, pupils thread yarns through the holes that were made previously. Yarns could also be knotted and beads attached, if pupils wish. Additional swirls of glue could be added as this will create an additional layer of texture to the surface.

Refer to pupils’ previous experiences of mark making using a range of drawing tools. Demonstrate how chalks can be dipped into water before drawing with them. Comment on how the consistency of the chalk changes and the colours achieved are more vibrant than the colours achieved when the chalks are dry.

Pupils experiment by drawing a design onto paper, making different marks, lines and shapes. They then apply this method to working on pieces of white cotton.

Pupils complete Vocabulary Task 1.

Can show creativity in their choice of materials and methods of application

Can produce a range of marks to create a pleasing design with appropriate level of detail

Can articulate their views about the effects achieved and techniques used

Questions for assessment

How have you created a textured surface? Which techniques have you used in your portrait?

What would have happened if you had used thicker fabric? How have you created texture in your work?

What would change if you used different colour combinations? Why does it feel different drawing on fabric instead of paper?

How are the marks made by wet chalk different to the marks made by dry chalk?

What do you like about your portrait?

Which techniques did you prefer? What would you like to improve?

3. Use drawing tools such as chalk in different ways and on different surfaces Explore methods of manipulating fabric and yarns by poking, pulling, threading and weaving Use oil crayons and paint with control to explore pattern making

Combine materials to create colourful and textural effects

Apply taught techniques to a different context Respond to the work of others

Share and discuss the work of Anne Kelly. Explain to the pupils that this artist uses a range of fabrics, stitching and embroidery to create her artwork.

Ensure pupils understand the term self portrait and demonstrate how the techniques and materials they have used in the previous lessons can be combined to create a self portrait.

Attach white fabric to the table using gummed paper and provide pupils with a range of fabrics, yarns and threads as well as paint and chalk. Encourage pupils to incorporate chalk painting into their work. They may also wish to incorporate the samples of woven work they completed in Lesson 1.

Provide opportunities for pupils to evaluate their own and others’ work and discuss which aspects of their portrait they are most happy with and why.

Pupils complete Vocabulary Task 2.

Can apply and combine a range of techniques and materials effectively Can show an understanding of and competence with techniques

Can make thoughtful comments about the work of others and use appropriate vocabulary
