Description of activity
Students will design and make a print representing the local landscape and built environment. Students will develop a composition based on observational drawings with a focus on a range of visual qualities such as line, shape, tone, texture and colour. Devices that can be used to enhance compositions can include window frames, cut up and rearranged drawings.
Students are to explore:
- a range of drawing/painting practices including the use of drawing/painting materials,
- colour scheme, flat colour, washes, scumbling, broken colour, impasto, use of sponges, palette knives and rollers
- textures, implied or real, can be added to the print through collage and hand colouring using ink and/or felt-tipped pen, post printing.
Context
Students have been making a series of observational drawings of the school and home environment (natural and built) with emphasis on the visual qualities of line, tone and texture using a variety of media.
Students have also visited the city centre, the river park and the local art gallery to record different aspects of natural and built environments.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
5.1 develops range and autonomy in selecting and applying visual arts conventions and procedures to make artworks
5.2 makes artworks informed by their understanding of the function of and relationship between artist – artwork – world – audience
5.4 investigates the world as a source of ideas, concepts and subject matter in the visual arts
5.5 makes informed choices to develop and extend concepts and different meanings in their artworks
5.6 demonstrates developing technical accomplishment and refinement in making artworks
Criteria for assessing learning
(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- shape and represent ideas through making prints
- make decisions about organising ideas and materials to communicate meaning about the landscape and built environment
- develop skills in drawing and printing.
