Characteristics
•With
increasing confidence pupils can use line, tone and texture to represent
objects in three dimensions.
•They
will spend longer periods of time on more focused and challenging
activities. They are likely to concentrate on particular views of objects
and be able to use tools, such as viewing frames, more effectively.
•They
will have confidence in the role of drawing as part of the investigation
process and present their work well in a sketchbook.
Drawing Projects
•
•This
pupil has combined and used visual and tactile qualities to suit
their intentions. Lines and shapes have been used very effectively
to describe the form of the object.
The effect has been enhanced when the pastels have been used
to apply colour and texture. Without
a viewing frame or other visual aid they have selected and
positioned what they wanted to draw and created a strong image.
Pupils made drawings of the reflections of their faces as they looked into a sheet of distorting film (Mirror Menalex) They used charcoal and chalk on grey paper. After they finished they looked at the work of the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch and commented on the similarities and differences in their work.
•Some
pupils went on to develop their drawings as clay masks. These
pupils have used their understanding of the materials to produce
highly individual pieces. The choice of stimulus allowed them to
concentrate on observing shape, tone, pattern and texture not the
exactness of the image. As a consequence they produced confident
drawings. When they
came to discuss the work of Munch their understanding was greatly
enhanced by this experience.
Pupils made careful studies of a
group of objects using a range of materials. This pupil has chosen to use pencil
on cartridge paper. They have a good understanding of how to use
line and tone to describe form. The image is placed confidently in
the picture plane and there is a good understanding of space.
Overall, they have combined and used visual elements well to suit
their intention.•
The pupils discussed the work of Pablo Picasso during his Cubist period. They made drawings of each other from different positions and combined two or more of them to make a composite image. This was then developed exploring the potential for design using colour and pattern. These pupils have understood what the artist was trying to achieve and developed their own personal responses with a clear understanding of Cubist compositional elements and technique. The drawing is confident and the composition strong. They adapted their ideas as they went along, discussing with others the changes they were making.
