Skills | Know which pencils they must use based on their properties. E.g. 2B pencil would be appropriate for mid to dark tones. Know that texture can be manipulated via different methods and techniques such as layering, stippling and different types of mark making. Know that when drawing from observation, they must consistently look at the subject to gauge accurate shape, form, tone and proportion. Identify areas of shadow and light and blend tones accurately to create soft gradients. Follow the contours of a shape to show its shape. Composition allows for a balanced drawing. Annotate the work of artists in sketch books and explain how they created their art.
| Know that paintbrushes can differ in appearance and purpose and can reflect a certain style of painting. Detail - round brushes with short hairs. They are a good choice for working on details and making short strokes to help create realism. Flat square end brushes are good for bold strokes, washes and filling wide spaces. They can also be used for fine lines, straight edges and stripes. Filbert flat and oval-shaped end brushes work well for blending and creating softness. Knows how to chooses the correct paintbrush grip for purpose and outcome. Paint objects that are correctly sized in comparison to others within an artwork. Create objects in the foreground that appear larger than those in the back and midground. When painting, elements of the same object are drawn using an accurate proportion e.g. the plants, sea, boats and trees. Identify areas of shadow and light and blend tones accurately to create soft gradients. Know that texture can be manipulated via different methods and techniques such as layering, differing brush strokes or varying equipment such as a sponge. Know that scale is a comparison of size between objects. Capture form in an implied 3D space. Use different techniques such as layering, differing brush strokes or varying equipment such as a sponge. Consider composition with regards to placement of objects within the landscape. Know that complementary colours are opposite on the colour wheel. Using knowledge of shade and tint, knows how to mix variations of dark, mid and light of a certain colour and know that to blend them softly. Know that tone can be used to show implied form within a painting using dark, mid and light tones to portray a light source. | Know what a gargoyle and what grotesques are. Learn how to create proportion in faces. Know about the proportions of features and how emotions can distort them. Know how to create different textures in playdough and clay. Know that you can create impressions, indents, reliefs in some areas and score to simulate texture. Know how sculptors create emotion in faces. Know the function of a gargoyle and know that they are often found in castles or cathedrals or churches. Know how to attach smaller and thinner pieces of clay/playdough so that they will not fall off. Sketch different designs for a gargoyle or a grotesque that shows emotion. | Explore lines, marks, shapes and tones through monoprinting (using polystyrene tiles) Print with two colour overlays Create repeating patterns Design a complex pattern made up from two or more motifs and print a tiled version |
