These books are often just designed with varying lines. When I was a child, I enjoyed reading comics. Simple shapes and lines can bring a story and its characters alive. I have always been fascinated by how a few lines could describe forms. It helped me visualise objects and understand how they related to the space they occupied, so I had to share it with you. I had no idea that using simple lines could alter your drawing and make it look much more accurate. Option 4: Graphic Inky Still Life – Inks, foamboard or cardboard, quills/brushes/pens, craft knife and cutting mat, PVA glue, variety of bottles to draw.Are you struggling to get your drawings to seem convincing? Contour drawing changed how I drew for the better and improved my artwork tremendously. Option 3: Clay Fruit Tiles – Selection of fruit and vegetables, drawing materials: charcoal, graphite, pencil, chalks, pastels, paper, card, tissue paper, scissors, cardboard, camera, photocopier or tracing paper, clay, clay tools, rolling pins, clay knives, boards, plastic bags, sponges, water pots, brushes, toothbrush and water (for joining clay onto your tile), acrylic paint.

Follow the stages in green for a shorter pathway or less complex journey. Shorten or lengthen the suggested pathway according to time and experience. Time This pathway takes 6 weeks, with an hour per week. I can present and share my artwork, and explain how my sketchbook work helped build my knowledge and skills towards my final piece.I can draw from observation and think about how I can use line, colour, shape, texture, form and composition to make my artwork interesting.I can use my sketchbook to make visual notes, record and reflect.I have felt able to express my thoughts about other artists’ work, and talk about the meanings of objects as artists present them.I have explored the work of contemporary and more traditional artists who work within the still life genre.Science: Plants, trees and flowers, rocks and fossils, light and shadow (explore all of these through your still life arrangement). Maths: 2D and 3D shapes, Pattern (on object). Thank you!Ĭurriculum Links History: Depict objects related to your chosen ancient civilisation topic or even arrange for a museum handling collection to visit your school. Medium:Īcrylic or poster paint, pen, pencil, ink, clay (depending upon project chosen) Artists: Paul Cezanne, Peter Claesz, Melchior d’ Hondecoeter, Jan Davidsz, Jacob Vosmaer, Hilary Pecis, Nicole Dyer, Baas Meeuws, Hirasho Sato If you use this resource in your setting, please tag us on social media: #InspiredBy (facebook, twitter) (instagram) and share the url. Along the way children consolidate and develop their understanding of how we can use line, shape, colour, texture, form and composition to make their work. Pupils revisit and develop their drawing (and looking) skills using observational drawing of physical objects, and then go on to explore a project, either working in collage, photography and paint, clay relief, or graphic still life. In this pathway children are introduced to the genre of still life as an old art form and also one which is still enjoyed by many contemporary artists.
