Lesson 1

Classwork : Over the next 10 lessons students will develop their own ideas base on their study of Cubism and the influence Cubism has exerted on other art and artists. These include,

Futurism, Juan Gris, Franz Marc, Roy Lichtenstein, Francis Bacon, Frank Gehry, Chuck Close, David Hockney, and Bruno del Zou.

Students will produce the following work over the next 10 weeks:

2 pages of research (with flap-outs if necessary) on one of the artists Cubism has influenced
A final painting

NOTE : Most students choose to research David Hockney’s work, especially his ‘Joiners’, and produce a final painting inspired by Hockney’s way of working (style and technique). However, it is possible to research one of the other artists who have been influenced by Cubism, and then produce a final painting inspired by their ways of working (style and technique).

Students start this lesson by watching the ‘Joiners Project Overview video’.

Joiners Project Overview video

Students then watch the ‘Joiners Art Project’ video below. Students also take notes when watching the video. Try to write 10 - 20 pieces of information from the video (10 is ‘Secure’, over 20 is ‘Excellence’). Number these and don’t forget write neatly on one or two sketchbook pages. Teachers may pause the video at the beginning of each artist.

‘Joiners’ Art Project

At the end of the video student will be asked to consider some design ideas in readiness for the homework. This can be completed in the back of sketchbooks, rather than on the worksheet below.

Homework: Take photographs and produce a ‘Joiner’ - like piece of Artwork as shown in the video shown in class. It is suggested that students make the ‘Joiner’ from 4-6 photos/sections (although students may wish to take many more pieces from which to choose). The work should be constructed using Powerpoint, or students may wish to experiment with a phone app.

The work must be emailed to your teacher (and yourself) before the next lesson so it can be print on A3 paper.

REMEMBER if you choose an artist other than David Hockney you will need to watch the ‘Other Artists Influence by Cubism - Research Examples’ video below, and also take suitable photographs, as your painting will not be based on a ‘Joiner’.

Lesson 2

Classwork : As a reminder to students over the next approximately 12 lessons students manage their time effectively to complete the following work:

2 pages of research (with flap-outs if necessary) on one of the artists Cubism has influenced - mostly completed for homework. This equates to approximately 2 homework to do each of the four parts (Heading, Section 1, 2, and 3)
A final painting - mostly completed for classwork. This equates to approximately 2 lessons to draw and paint each section. Most students produce a painting with about five sections.

In this lesson students cut out the Joiner they produced for homework and start to transfer the image onto A3 watercolour paper.

Homework: Students start work on their David Hockney research heading. This will be over a double sketchbook page. Examples headings are shown below.

REMEMBER if you choose an artist other than David Hockney you will need to watch the ‘Other Artists Influence by Cubism - Research Examples’ video for the previous lesson and create a suitable ‘style’ title in your sketchbook.

**DEVELOPING** - the ‘D’ in David shows potential but it lacks the imagination and effort need for a SECURE

**SECURE-** - bold and effective but a too simplistic for the higher marks. Also no fine liner used on ‘Hockney’

**SECURE** - a creative idea but no fine liner used, and the end of ‘Hockney’ seems to be squashed onto the page

**SECURE+** - both simple and complex. A striking design

**SECURE+** - bold and eye catching, but needs a little more complexity and imagination to achieve an 'EXCELLENCE

**EXCELLENCE-** - an excellent design but perhaps could be more original

**EXCELLENCE** - an original, striking, and eye-catching design

**EXCELLENCE+** - a highly complex and imaginative design

Lesson 3

Classwork : Students continue to transfer the Joiner image onto A3 watercolour paper.

Homework: Students complete the David Hockney research heading. This is over a double sketchbook page. Examples headings were shown in the previous lesson. Students will also need their paints and brushes for the next lesson.

REMEMBER if you choose an artist other than David Hockney you will need to create a suitable ‘style’ title in your sketchbook.

Lesson 4

Classwork : Students start to paint the Joiner watercolour. We will star with discussing how to mix skin tones and paint a section that contains an eye. Students watch the ‘Joiner Paintings - Skin Tones with Eye and Nose Detail’ video below and look the example paintings. Teacher may also wish to ‘flick-through’ the first eye painting video and emphasis the importance of starting with the lighter tones first, and then gradually building up the darker area and extreme fine detail.

Before the end of the lesson the David Hockney research homework SECTION 1 - The artist’s life and work in general will be discussed.

Joiner Paintings - Skin Tones with Eye and Nose Detail

Examples of final paintings can be seen below to discuss,

Homework: Students start the David Hockney research homework. Students should first consider the layout of their research and watch the ‘David Hockney research - Assessment Examples’ video below. Some student may also wish to watch the ‘David Hockney Research - High Quality Examples’ video from Lesson 6.

Students now have two homeworks/weeks to complete SECTION 1 - The artist’s life and work in general. There will be three research sections in total that can be seen in a possible layout above and in the video, although you may wish to include additional information and ‘flap-outs’.

For SECTION 1 - The artist’s life and work in general students should only use the information and pictures on the handout, deciding how to present the information and pictures in their own words and style. This information has come from a variety of book and websites and srtudents need to decide how much of the information to use.

Remember the presentation (quality of writing, arrangement and use off pictures, as wells colour, borders flap-outs etc. are an essential part of this homework.

David Hockney - SECTION 1 Research Handout

Lesson 5

Classwork : Students continue to paint the Joiner watercolour aim to complete the first eye section. Teachers may also wish to revisit the skin tones and eye painting videos from the previous lesson, and again emphasis the importance of starting with the lighter tones first, and then gradually building up the darker area and extreme fine detail.

Homework: Students complete the David Hockney research SECTION 1 - The artist’s life and work in general. Details of what to include were outlined in the homework for Lesson 4.

Remember the presentation (quality of writing, arrangement and sticking off pictures, as wells colour, borders flap-outs etc. are an essential part of this homework.

Lesson 6

Classwork : Students start to paint the second section of the Joiner painting. This might be another eye section or a nose section.

Homework: Students start the David Hockney research SECTION 2 - Artist’s style and technique. This section is contain 2 parts:

PART 1: Ask ChatGBT to write 5 to 10 sentence describing the ‘styles and techniques’ of David Hockney’s Joiners. Student might need to amend the question they ask ChatGBT in order to get the most informative answers.

Students need to also add to the information that ChatGBT has provided, using the information shown in the ‘Joiners Art Project’ video from Lesson 1 (from the 5.00min point to 9.15min). Students may choose to watch the video again or ask ChatGBT to do this for you.

PART 2: Also ask ChatGBT to write 5 to 10 sentence describing the ‘styles and techniques’ of one of the following of David Hockney’s types of work,

the swimming pool paintings
the Californian landscape painting
the Yorkshire Landscape painting
Portrait paintings
the iPad artwork

Finally, each sections should be accompanied by 2 or 3 examples of appropriate work (so 4 - 6 in total).

Some students may also choose to watch the ‘David Hockney Research - High Quality Examples’ video below for ideas on how they might present Section 2.

Lesson 7

Classwork : Students aim to complete the second section of the Joiner painting. This might be another eye section or a nose section.

Homework: Students complete the David Hockney research SECTION 2 - Artist’s style and technique. Details of what to include were outlined in the homework for Lesson 6.

Remember the presentation (quality of writing, arrangement and sticking off pictures, as wells colour, borders flap-outs etc. are an essential part of this homework.

Lesson 8

Classwork : Students aim to start the third section of the Joiner painting. This is also a good opportunity for students to watch the ‘Joiner Paintings - Assessment Examples’ video.

Joiner Paintings - Assessment Examples video

Homework: This is an improvement week for Sections 1 and 2. The quality of these two sections will have a big impacted on how well you will be able to complete Section 3

Lesson 9

Classwork : Students aim to complete the third section of the Joiner painting.

Homework: Students start the David Hockney research SECTION 3 - How the Joiner work is influenced by Cubism. This section should explain how explain how the characteristics of Cubism (abstraction, fragmentation, showing different views etc.), have influenced Hockney’s approach to his ‘Joiners’.

Students will be give Analytical Cubist paintings (by either Picasso or Braque) and then will need to compare them to a ‘Joiner’ works by David Hockney. Students may choose a portrait and a landscape to compare.

Remember the presentation (quality of writing, arrangement and sticking off pictures, as wells colour, borders flap-outs etc. are an essential part of this homework.

Lesson 10

Classwork : For the last three lessons students will need to manage their time effectively (for both classwork and homework), to complete both the ‘Joiner’ painting and the David Hockney Research Work.

Homework: Students complete SECTION 3 of the David Hockney research work.

Lesson 11

Classwork : Students continue to work on the ‘Joiner’ painting. There are three lessons remaining after this lesson.

Homework: If students do not think they can can complete the Joiner painting in class time it should be worked on at home. Folders will be available should students need to continue with paintings at home.

Lesson 12

Classwork : Students continue to work on the ‘Joiner’ painting. There are two lessons remaining after this lesson.

Homework: If students do not think they can can complete the Joiner painting in class time it should be worked on at home. Folders will be available should students need to continue with paintings at home.

Lesson 13

Classwork : Students continue to work on the ‘Joiner’ painting. There is just one lesson remaining after this lesson.

Homework: If students do not think they can can complete the Joiner painting next lesson (the final/improvement lesson) the work should be worked on at home. Folders will be available should students need to continue with paintings at home.
