Skills | In sketch books analyse sketches, drawings and architecture, Look at form, light, shadow, reflection and use technical art terms in annotation. Know that 3D objects have a tactile texture and when this is captured in a drawing it is called implied texture. To know that perspective allows artists to portray form in their artwork. Know how to draw areas of light and shadow in an observational drawing. Know how to draw reflection. Light and shadow is captured in the correct areas. Show a range of techniques to create texture e.g. stippling. Consider perspective when creating a drawing and composition. Know lines generally diminish at the vanishing point. Know that the horizon line is a horizontal line that runs across the paper or canvas to represent the viewer's eye level, or outline where the sky meets the ground. Know how to compose a drawing to make the viewers eye go on a journey. Know how to make scaling accurate using thumb and pencil. Composition allows for a balanced artwork. E.g. the focal point may not be centred but is in the foreground to highlight its importance. Draw light and shadow onto a drawing. | Know that brushes differ in appearance and purpose and can reflect a certain style or movement. Round or pointed tip brushes are good for sketching, outlining, detailed work and filling in small areas. Flat square end brushes are good for bold strokes, washes and filling wide spaces. Know that shaped end brushes work well for blending and creating soft rounded edges like flower petals. Know how to clearly marks areas of light and shadow in an observational painting. Know how to capture light and shadow in the correct areas with knowledge of light source. Know how to use directional brush strokes to create form. Consider perspective when creating a painting (1 and 2 -point perspective). Know how to paint so that lines diminish at the vanishing point. Know how to use scaling and composition for a balanced artwork. E.g. the focal point may not be centred but is in the foreground to highlight its importance. Know how artists encourage the viewer to roam across the painting with their eyes. Know how to paint details by making short strokes. Know that the horizon line is a horizontal line that runs across the paper to represent the viewer's eye level, or outline where the sky meets the ground. Know that the vanishing point is where receding parallel lines diminish. Know how to stipple. Know that when complementary colours are mixed, they will become muted. Using knowledge of shade and tint, know how to mix variations of dark, mid and light of a certain colour to replicate those used in their artist study. | Know that sculptors compose sculptures in different poses for different meanings and to show different emotions. Know how sculptors try to give the impression of movement. Know what negative space is and how sculptors use this for a visual effect. Know how to create a figure of a person and the idea of it being in proportion. Using a power point of local and national sculptures appraise using key vocabulary and terms linked to sculpture. Sketch statues and annotate them with notes about how the sculptor is creating movement, shape, form, texture, and how they have an impact on the emotions of the viewer. Know how to sculpt using wire, natural materials, and how to use an armature. |
