OUTCOME By the end of the project all pupils will have incorporated the 4 key skills in their work. They will have produced a body of work that shows the use of different media and techniques. They will all have produced a final outcome which relates to the theme Transformation, as well as it s connection to their research work. Pupils will be introduced to the outline of A2 course they will be shown examples of art work so they can visually gain an understanding of the course Pupils will be introduced to the theme of the project Transformation Pupils will brain storm the topic, spider diagram, research on the internet and create visual brainstorms. Pupil s will continue to refine observational drawings skills Pupils will further develop their sketchbooks creatively Pupils will gain an understanding of mark making a line drawing experimenting with different mark making, pencil, sticks fingers, Pupil s will explore the work of various artists to gain an understanding of how previous artists have explored used line, form and tone to refine and develop own ideas Pupils will research artist s work including written analysis (form, content, process, mood) using a developed artistic vocabulary and create a personal study Pupils will make contextual links with their work and others Pupils will develop drawings into print techniques using different mark making techniques Pupils will develop figure drawing skills Pupils will photograph and manipulate images using Adobe Photoshop Pupils will explore painting using acrylic paints and oil experiment with colour to create form Pupils will explore composition developing pieces of work inspired by the artist s researched for Transformations Pupils will produce a final piece based on Transformation Pupils will refine final piece to create a final art work or a series of final outcomes LITERACY Pupils will Develop their ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding Research the work of others artists, cultures and art movements using the Rod Taylor formula. Pupils will explore relevant intentions and ideas, demonstrating an ability to reflect, review and analyse work and progress. Pupils will annotate their work including their plan sheets writing about how the work is linked to the theme, as well as include the media to be used and the reason for its use.

Adobe Photoshop manipulating images SMSC reflecting on own work and that of others. Celebrating the diverse work produced by both Western and Non Western cultures. Ever child matters.
ACTION PLAN Each stage represents a weeks work, stages can be extended or shorten depending on differentiation of pupils and teacher preference Pupils will be introduced to the theme Transformation and the projects aims, using the Edexcel assessment matrix (emphasis on the criteria set by the exam board;- a. Investigation (AO1). b. Documentation (AO2). c. Experimentation (AO3). d. Realisation (AO4). Two parts of this unit Practical work and a Personal study You need to produce a sketchbook of work, A4 personal study with a minimum of 1000 words Pupils will be show examples of Unit 3 and asked to discuss the grades and the quality of work STAGE 1 Pupils will produce spider diagrams to explore different ideas and approaches to the topic Transformation to explore different avenues and approaches to the subject Transformations in history, passage of time, birth life and death, developments of technology old and new, attitudes and beliefs, physical appearance, maturity and wisdom, knowledge, Pupils will be introduced to artists work who have explored this theme Pupils will design the front page of their sketchbooks Pupils; will create a montage on images of their interests and likes and dislikes their sketchbooks Pupils collect images which they fill best reflect the title Transformation Stage 2 Pupils will produce observational drawings of objects which symbol transformations Pupils will be produce a series of studies using different media experimenting with transformations angles, using different mark making techniques Pupils will experiment with Pupils will asked to produce a series of drawings selecting different different lines and mark making techniques to gain further an understanding of how to realise form on paper using line tone, and form, and colour and experiment with sticks and inks Pupils will produce oil painting studies from observational drawings Pupils will find 3 different artist who have used a, line, shape, and colour to realize their intentions Pupils will be asked to draw on object in the style of the their chosen artist Stage 3 Pupils will further understanding of how to create form by tone mark making and colour, pupils will experiment painting and drawing in the style of artists which inspire them. Pupils will start to paint using acrylic paints and develop mark making techniques Pupils s will work on canvas and board and be introduced to oil paints and acrylics pupils will use easels ACTION PLAN Complete research of Artists introduced in lessons Personal Studies will be regulary assessed and pupils will complete end of the winter term Stage 4
Pupils will take photographs of images suitable for Transformations Pupils will manipulate image on Adobe Photoshop Pupils will produce studies of images manipulated on Adobe PhotoShop in Oil paint Draw studies that have been manipulated on PhotoShop Stage 5 Pupils will experiment with mono prints to further understand different mark making techniques and to produce images Pupils will select chosen artists from those introduced to demonstrate the power of mark making to the mood of work Pupils will work into prints applying, oil pastels colour to change the mood Pupils will scan work into Adobe Photoshop to manipulate work Pupils will draw on top of work computer manipulated images and design pages in sketch books to reflect Transformation experimenting with cutting shapes in sketchbooks Stage 6 o Pupils will select artist work which they have researched and develop their their own work into the style of the artists they have researched o Pupils will experiment with techniques the artists have used o Mark making o Composition o Pupils will experiment with different media to include Silk Painting and Batik, Embroidery Documented and research ideas to show the artist s influences with your own primary sources Stage 7 Pupils will produce a number of studies of the figure Pupils will produce timed short drawings of the figure Pupils will over lap drawings of the figure to create the effect of movement Pupils will experiment with inks to create different moods Pupils will manipulate images to recreate the style of artists they have studied Produce observational drawings of friends and family Stage 8 Transformation and abstract compositions inspired by different movements in art suggested areas of focus eg: Futurism, Cubism, Fauves, impressionism, expressionism. Create collage grounds in response to synthetic cubism Collage magazine images together of different facial features from different angles to produce Picasso style collage portraits Use magazine collage to create further studies Take photographs from different angles to create portraits and self portraits Cut up images and piece together creating abstract images Combine portraits with still life objects in cubist method Extract pattern and simplify in style of Matisse Manipulate colour to create bold personal responses in style of the fauves Use a view finder to do a series of pencils and colour studies. Evaluate the effectiveness of the technique/processes used in relation to the brief. Annotate the advantages/disadvantages of the different techniques, what techniques will be further developed and why Annotating ideas making contextual links
Targets evaluated and estimated grades given for body work Stage 9 Pupils will produce designs for clay cubist relief plates gaining inspiration from cubist and Futurist art work Pupils will experiment with different marks to create textured relief patterns Pupils will experiment with coloured slips Produce studies in clay cubist relief plates Stage 10 Pupils will produce a series of thumb nail sketches exploring ideas for their theme of Transformation for a final piece Pupils will produce 3 different studies focusing on different aspects of the theme: Pupils will be encouraged to base work on primary and secondary images Develop ideas making contextual links to artists studied as well as primary images or personally researched annotating work Stage 11 Pupils will produce design sheets for ideas for their final outcome Pupils will experiment with line and colour, texture and pattern to refine ideas and composition Pupils will develop final composition annotate work linking ideas to artists and theme Pupils will annotate work explaining ideas colour and composition choices making contextual links to artist s work Pupils will make links with primary and secondary images Continue to develop and refine compositional ideas in sketchbooks Targets re evaluated and estimated grades given for body of work Stage 12 ( is the work on the final piece this stage will take more time) Pupils will work on final piece using the terms project to inform their decisions The work can be modified as it progresses through the use of media and layout of the design work They need to produce the work using media used throughout the project Pupils will assess their own work using the Edexcel assessment matrix, followed the teachers final assessment. Continual to refine ideas through studies in your sketchbook Stage 13 Pupils will evaluate and mark each others work using A2 marking criteria Pupils will identify areas for improvement and revise work ACTION PLAN
DIFFERENTIATED AND EXTENTION WORK All pupils will follow the same schemes of work, the work will be differentiated as follows:- Pupils with poor drawing skills All pupils will produce observational drawings those struggling with drawing will concentrate on drawing parts or selected areas and will focus on presenting moods and working with photographs to manipulate ideas from their identity boxes Pupils will be allowed to use more secondary sources to help them with tones and shades. Those pupils who find it difficult to control colour and working with wet media, will only use dry media such as pastels, colour pencils etc, or use water colour and use colour pencils on top to add detail, tone and clean up fuzzy lines. Pupils who find it difficult to produce accurate detailed drawings will produce more preparatory work using craft based media and techniques. When pupils are developing plans for the final piece they will abstract their final out come, therefore their weak drawing skills (tone and fine detail) will not be so obvious. Evaluate work through annotations, and a basic evaluation which will be more descriptive. GTS Pupils GTS pupils will be expected to produce fluent detailed observational drawings from both primary and secondary sources. Pupils will be expected to use a wider range of media fluently to produce their work. Pupils will be expected to produce more detailed plans with the incorporation of the media to be used (Actual), not just through annotated notes. Pupils will use mixed media in their final outcome with fluency. To produce a detail fluent account of their work through an evaluation commenting on what went well, what went badly and how the work can be improved if the project was carried out again.
