Creative Arts
Autumn 1
This half-term we are completing an art unit all about construction.
Our learning question is: How can we draw a spiral?
Key Disciplines: Drawing, Collage, Sketchbooks
Themes: Pattern, Structure, Movement, Growth, The Human Body, Sound
Key Concepts:
- That drawing is a physical and emotional activity. That when we draw, we can move our whole body.
- That we can control the lines we make by being aware of how we hold a drawing tool, how much pressure we apply, and how fast or slow we move.
- That we can draw from observation or imagination.
- That we can use colour to help our drawings engage others
In this unit, the children will design, make and evaluate their own model houses.
We shall be learning to:
· I can draw from my fingertips, my wrist, my elbow, my shoulder, my body.· I can make a drawing using a continuous line for a minute or two.· I have made a sketchbook (or perhaps decorated the cover of a bought sketchbook) and I feel like it belongs to me.· I can draw from observation for a few minutes at a time.· I can make different marks with different drawing tools. I have seen the different marks I can make with a soft pencil, a graphite stick and a handwriting pen.· I have explored how water affects the graphite and pen and explored how I can use a brush to make new marks.· I can make choices about which colours I’d like to use in my drawing.· I have seen the work of an artist and listened to how the artist made the work. I have been able to share how I feel about the work.· I can talk about what I like in my drawings, and what I’d like to try again.· I can take photos of my artwork. |
