Year 9 Lessons - Term 1

Art may initially seem very different this year for all Key Stage 3 students. It will not be taught in the Art room but in year group ‘bubbles’. However, our intention is still to offer as broad a curriculum as possible. In practice this means that some aspects of Art (painting for example) will need to be completed at home using the demonstrations on sacart. We consider this strategy as preferable to one whereby pupils are denied these experiences.

( if you miss the lesson for any reason you should still complete both classwork and homework)

Lesson 7

Classwork : Students watch the ‘Analytical Cubism Portrait 1’ video below and then draw the outline and structure of their analytical style self-portrait. Student have already been given self-portrait photographs and tracing paper.

Next lesson students will start to add colour using colouring pencils.

Homework: Complete the self-portrait outline in the style of Analytical Cubism ’ as described in the video above. Also bring in a good selection of colouring pencils for the next lesson.

Deadline : The deadline will always be your next Art lesson unless stated otherwise on MILK.

Lesson 6

Classwork : Students can re-watch the ‘Analytical Cubism’ video from lesson 5. You will then have the lesson and homework to complete writing up and presenting the information on Analytical Cubism. This is Research Task 3 as described on the ‘Cubism Research Handout Sheet’ of pictures.

Look closely at the examples in the video and listen to the instructions. Marks will be awarded for content, personal comments when labelling the pictures, layout and artistic presentation (also see example below).

Homework: Complete Research Task 3 - Information on ‘Analytical Cubism’ as described in the video.

Boys without access to a printer can email me one page of colour prints using the A4 Powerpoint Printing Template on sacart (Lesson 3 & 4). The pictures need to fit into the spaces in your sketchbook research, so please ensure you measure the pictures you want printed using the the rulers on the template.

Deadline : The deadline will always be your next Art lesson unless stated otherwise on MILK.

Lesson 5

Classwork : The first part of the lesson can be used to improve your research work and presentation into Pablo Picasso or Georges Braque. After this watch the ‘Analytical Cubism’ video below. You will the have the remainder of the lesson, homework, and also Lesson 6 to complete writing up and presenting the information shown in the video. This is Research Task 3 as described on the ‘Cubism Research Handout Sheet’ of pictures. Look closely at the examples in the video and listen to the instructions. Marks will be awarded for content, personal comments when labelling the pictures, layout and artistic presentation.

Homework: Continue with Research Task 3 - Information on ‘Analytical Cubism’ as described in the video. You will also have lesson 6 to complete and present this information.

Deadline : The deadline will always be your next Art lesson unless stated otherwise on MILK.

Lesson 3 & 4

Classwork : Watch the ‘Picasso and Braque Research Guidance’ video below. You will the have two lessons and homeworks to complete research into either Pablo Picasso or Georges Braque. Look closely at the examples in the video. Marks will be awarded for content, personal comments, layout and artistic presentation.

Homework: Complete research work into either Pablo Picasso or Georges Braque. Boys without access to a printer can email me one page of colour prints using the A4 Powerpoint Printing Template below (DO THIS BEFORE NEXT LESSON). The pictures need to fit into the spaces in your sketchbook research, so please ensure you measure the pictures you want printed using the the rulers on the template.

Deadline : The deadline will always be your next Art lesson unless stated otherwise on MILK. This homework must be completed by the beginning of lesson 5.

Lesson 2

Classwork : Watch the ‘An Introduction to Cubism’ video below and answer the questions on the questionnaire. Then stick the questionnaire neatly onto the second and third pages of your sketchbook. Also If you were not in the lesson you will also need to come to the Art room to get your photograph taken for a future pieces of work that will be set.

Homework: Using 1 or 2 sketchbook pages write up the information on 'What is Cubism?'

Remember you should only be using information from the video and questionnaire, your own opinions, and pictures from TASK 1 of the ‘Cubism Research Handout’ (unless you have a printer). No internet research is accepted except a 'definition' of Cubism that you might like to include.

Presentation is worth half of the marks so make certain it is at least as good as your Land Art Research. Below is a plan of how the video information might be split up and laid out over two pages, but that is up to you.

Deadline : The deadline will always be your next Art lesson unless stated otherwise on MILK.

Lesson 1

Classwork : Watch the ‘A Simple Introduction to Cubism’ video below. Start the 'Portraits and Cubism' Cover Page on the first page of your sketchbook. Lettering should be in a cubist style using colour pencil and fine liner. Adding pictures to the title page is optional.

Homework: Complete the 'Portraits and Cubism' Cover Page on the first page of your sketchbook.

Deadline : The deadline will always be your next Art lesson unless stated otherwise on MILK.
