The KING S Medium Term Plan ART Year 9 GCSE Art Project Plan ART Subject Theme Still life The 4 Assessment Objectives will be addressed throughout the learning cycle. AO1 looks at Artist research, contextual and cultural research linking into students own work. AO2 asks that students explore, experiment and refine techniques with a wide range of artistic materials & techniques. AO3 requires students to record & collect primary and secondary source material, with accompanying written evaluation notes. AO4 asks for a personal, imaginative and meaningful response to a theme/brief whilst making perceptive links between all elements in a final piece. During this Learning Cycle students will answer each of the assessment objectives as follows:- AO1 AO2 AO3 AO4 Research into established Artists and artworks will help students to develop their own ideas and try their techniques over the coming 7 weeks. Students can also find their own inspirational Artists through internet research throughout. Experiments with pencil, graphite, coloured pencil, pen, charcoal, bleach, oil pastels, paints and other mixed media/assemblage materials needed. Techniques demonstrated by Artists can be tried throughout. Theme of Identity continued. Students will start at a more personal journey into identity and the path that interests them. They will collect relevant sources to work from including 1 st hand sketches, photographs of what signifies their own identity and appropriate secondary research. Notation is to accompany all sketches and source material to explain ideas and choices. During this LC Students will work towards a final outcome. They will produce build up work that links to real life Artists practices and create a rough draft before producing a summative piece of work in an appropriate media.

Understand how the work of Artists past and present can inform our own ideas and help our skills progress. Analyse the context in which Artists made their work and how historical, social & cultural aspects affected their creation. Consider & discuss the success of each technique/media tried, refining ideas and techniques and setting future targets. Understand that written communication describing thought processes of evaluation is exceptionally important and helpful in developing ideas. Use resources imaginatively and inventively to create own Art work, demonstrating confident understanding of the formal elements & using technical skills to manipulate materials appropriately.
