Tuesday 16th February 2016 P4

What are focussing on during today's lesson:

Learning outcome: Art and your 21st century aesthetic

1) Getting more information onto your ideas pages - class brainstorm on the board
2) Drawing skills. If you need a break from the ideas page, we will work through how to make a transcription and good solid tonal drawing.

Transcription - copy

This is a technique that Artists would learn back in the day. They would spend a lot of time practising things like this in improving their drawing and directly learning from another Artist. It was considered part of the process in working towards being a Master of Art. Then they would be the teacher and students would learn from them in much the same way.

There will be a series of images that directly relate to the theme of 21st Century babies in black and white. You are going to use rulers, your Art pencils and Art pads to make as good an accurate copy as possible. We start with gridding up the original to scale it up accurately.

As the lesson progresses, I will add photos of our students doing this as a way of documenting our own progress and creating your own reference to look back on, or help teach those students who were absent today, next time...
