Site-specific land art sculpture

Site-specific art is artwork created to

exist in a certain place. The artist

takes the location into account while

planning and creating the artwork.

Land art is art that is made directly

in the landscape, sculpting

the land itself into earthworks or

making structures in the landscape

using natural materials such as rocks

or twigs.

Natural materials can be

manipulated using hands, feet

and teeth.

A pattern is a repeated decorative

design and can be used in land

art.

Rock balancing is where

rocks are naturally balanced on

top of one another in various

positions without the use of

adhesives/ wires.

Natural materials

include tree, plants,

rocks, branches, leaves,

path, twigs, stones,

pine cones and mud.

Mehndi art

Mehndi is a form of body art

originating in ancient India, in which

decorative designs are created on a

person's body, using a paste, created

from the powdered dry leaves of the

henna plant.

Pattern – a repeated decorative

design.

Line – Distinct straight or curved

lines.

Brown eye liner pencils Mehndi is traditionally applied by female family

members. However professional Mehndi artists can

be used to apply henna in the latest patterns and

styles. Modern Mehndi patterns can also include

glitter or jewels/gems.

Year 1 – Stanley’s Stick

Outcome:

Art Form Technique Artist

Water colours 1. When painting a picture we need to start with the background and then we can add on the foreground

2. In Turner’s paintings the colour changes with darker and lighter parts. Look where they occur.

3. Use the sponging technique to create the sky. If you use a whole sponge it just creates blocks of colour, but if you pinch parts out of it to use the corners then it’s easier to get the right effect. You can also mix and layer the various colours to make it more cloud-like. Make sure you don’t leave any white patches.

4. Next choose what type of boat you are going to include.

5. On a separate piece of card, using a sketching technique to draw your ship, think about how to hold the pencil and how hard to press.

6. Using pastels, you need to colour your ship and cut it out.

7. Next, using a range of brush strokes, you need to create the sea.

8. Start at the crest of the wave with a base colour and bring it downwards then repeat bringing it down in different directions using a range of long and short brush strokes.

9. Go over the top of it in a lighter or darker colour to create a range of shades and effects.

10. Before it is dry use a fresh brush and then dab the crests lightly with white to create a sea spray effect.

11. Make sure the waves go up to the bottom of the ship and overlap it slightly so it looks like it is in the water.

Joseph Turner is a painter.

Sketch – landscape

line drawing.

A sketch is a rough or unfinished drawing or painting, often made to assist in making a more finished picture.

A drawing is a picture or diagram made with a pencil, pen, or crayon rather than paint.

Sketching techniques help the artist to achieve different styles and effects when drawing and sketching.

Sketching techniques include hatching, cross-hatching, lines and swirls.

Grid method of drawing allows you to produce an accurate line drawing by reducing your picture to a series of small squares.

Each square needs to connect to make a full picture. Gripping closer to the end of a pencil, will allow more control

and precision, but heavier strokes (darker markings). Gripping further up the pencil will allow less control and

precision, but lighter strokes (lighter markings). Foreground is the part of a view that is nearest to the

observer. Background is the part of a picture that appears furthest from

the viewer.

A pencil is an instrument/tool for drawing and come in different levels of graphite hardness.

The hardness of the graphite is indicated on the side of the pencil: 'B' pencils are softer, 'H' are harder, and 'HB' sits in the middle.

H scale pencils are used as a foundation for the drawing and darker B scale are used for finishing and shading.

Samuel Rolle drew a picture of the fire in 1667.

Know that artists who were alive in 1666 created pictures of the fire afterwards, so we know what it would have looked like if we’d been there too.

He was an eyewitness to the fire.

Sculpture -

clay

Sculpture

is a three-

dimensional

work of

art.

Practice technique and form using play-dough.

The point chisel is the most commonly used tool during sculpting, it is used to roughing out a basic shape.

The tooth chisel is used after the point chisel to refine the shape of your sculpture.

Clay is a finely-grained natural rock or soil material.

Clay is a malleable material. Water softens clay when it is

dry. To join clay together scratch

both pieces of clay that you will be joining and then add a small amount of water to create a ‘slip’. Then gently, but firmly, push the two pieces together.

Year 3 – Escape from Pompeii

Outcome: Individual mosaic inspired from Roman buildings.


A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the

assembling of small pieces of coloured glass, stone,

or other materials.

Mosaic is often used as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat, roughly

square, pieces of stone or glass of different colours, known as tesserae.

They were waterproof and easy to clean. Created by craftsman. The floors of Roman buildings were often

richly decorated with mosaics, many capturing scenes of history and everyday life.

Wealthy villa owners could afford more personalised designs.

The intended mosaic design

needs to be planned and

followed onto the base board.

Shape: Shape is a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, colours.

Foreground: The part of a picture closest to the viewer.

Background: The part of a picture that is the furthest away from the viewer.

Stone Age paint was made out of natural materials. (Berries, rocks, wood etc.)

People used their fingertips and natural objects (twigs) to make the pictures.

An example of this is charcoal which can be used to outline the figures.

Cave or rock paintings are paintings painted on cave or rock walls and ceilings, usually dating to prehistoric times.

Cave or rock paintings have been found in Europe, Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia.

Cave painting were used to communicate a message to other people.

Cave painting were sometimes created as part of good luck ritual before a hunt.

It is widely believed that cave or rock paintings are the work of respected elders or shamans.

The most common themes in European cave paintings are large wild animals, such as bison, horses, aurochs, and deer

Protest art is the creative works produced by activists and social movements.

Protest art helps arouse emotions in their audiences.

Social movements produce signs, banners, posters, and other printed materials which are used to convey a particular cause or message.

Social movements tend to have limited finances so they use low cost resources (basic points, cardboard) to create the signs.

Year 4 – The Butterfly Lion

Outcome: Geometric painting


Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art based on the use of geometric forms.

Geometry is the use of shapes.

Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

Colour can be used to create an association – for example using the colours from the South African flag.

The colour wheel is made up of primary and secondary colours.

Primary colours are basic colours that can be mixed together to produce other colours.

Primary colours are usually considered to be red, yellow, blue, and sometimes green.

Secondary colours are any of three colours derived from mixing two primary colours.

Orange (red + yellow), Green (yellow + blue), and Violet/Purple (blue + red) are secondary colours.

Tessellation is the use of geometric shapes to tessellate within a given shape.

Lines, angles and shading create depth. Shading is the darkening or colouring of an

illustration or diagram with parallel lines or a block of colour.

Cubism evolved around 1907-1914 in Spain and France.

Pablo Picasso and Georges Brauque created surrealistic works using cube shapes. This means they took images that would be organic, meaning natural and flowing, and recreated them as if they were just planes and angles.

Kerby Rosanes is an illustrator.

Kerby Rosanes created a series of drawings called ‘Geometric Beasts’ which combine abstract shapes with realistic animal bodies to create geometric hybrid fauna.

Collage -from the French: coller, "to glue" is a technique in art where the artwork is made from different media, techniques, colours and textures. The shapes can be cut or torn.

Can be made from a range of papers including newspapers, magazines, tissue paper, wrapping paper, wallpaper and different handmade and art papers, as well as other textured, coloured and interesting surfaces such as corrugated paper, foil paper and fabrics. Creased, transparent, reflective or textured papers will provide other interesting surface qualities to exploit. Glue (Stick paper down onto a supporting surface.) Scissors

Romero Britto was born in Recife in Brazil. He is an international pop/cubism artist that uses vibrant, bold and colourful

patterns. He is a painter, serigrapher and sculptor. Self-taught at an early age, Britto painted on scraps of paper or cardboard or

any medium he could find. He travelled to Paris where he was introduced to the works of Matisse and

Picasso. He has been credited with the largest monumental sculpture in London’s Hyde

Park history. Britto has had many collaborations with international brands such as Coca-

Cola, Walt Disney and Evian. Romero is an activist for charitable organizations worldwide; he is committed

to developing and supporting the role art will continue to play in world issues. Pop art first came to Britain in the mid-1950s. It is classed as modern art. It is based around popular culture, including advertising and comic books. It uses bright colours and bold patterns. Cubism first became popular in the early 1950s and is classed as modern art. It was brought about by an artist called Pablo Picasso. Pictures were separated into geometric shapes.

Year 5 – Percy Jackson

Outcome: Hand built clay pot in an Ancient Greek style.

Art Form Technique Materials/tools Artist (History of art form)

Sculpture Pinch pot: While holding the sphere of clay, press the thumb into the centre of the ball. While revolving the ball in one hand, press the walls out evenly with the thumb into the inside and the fingers on the outside. Smooth the surface with a damp sponge.

Water softens clay when it is dry.

To join clay together scratch both pieces of clay that you will be joining and then add a small amount of water to create a ‘slip’. Then gently, but firmly, push the two pieces together.

Clay is a finely-grained

natural rock or soil material.

Clay is a malleable material. The tooth chisel is used after

the point chisel to refine the shape of your sculpture.

Paint (warm colours + black detail)

Glaze (Glue and water)

Pieces of pots (called shards) can be used by archaeologists to date when they were made.

We know a lot about Greek life, religion and what was important to Greeks by studying the images on the pots.

Greeks were famous for creating vases of various shapes and sizes.

The pots were used for storage of wine, water grains etc. and were highly decorative.

The Greeks used a watery clay mixture (slip) to make patterns on the clay before it hardened.

Painting

Strokes – the medium left on

a surface by the single

movement of a paintbrush or

chalk stick.

Change the angle at which

the chalk is held to achieve

varying widths of stroke.

Lighter or darker tones can

be produced by varying the

pressure placed upon the

chalk/pastel.

Silhouette: the image of a

person, an object or scene

represented as a solid shape

of a single colour, usually

black, its edges matching the

outline of the subject.

Zachary Kinkade Each painting will capture Biblical and literary themes as

envisioned by Zac and using his finely-developed techniques and sense of style.

Zac believes that art should be both technically sophisticated and powerfully evocative so that it tells a story and leaves the viewer with a strong sense of emotion.

The expression of light and dark values: Chiaroscuro: Italian -

roughly means, “light and dark.” First used to describe a type of

drawing on medium-dark paper where the artist created both

darker areas with ink and lighter areas with white paint.

High contrast creates intensely powerful and dramatic works of

art.

Sometimes the source of the intense illumination in a painting

was actually in the painting, you can see examples in religious

works, where an angel or other holy figure actually illuminates

the entire scene.

Year 6 – The Red Pyramid

Outcome: Graphic drawing

Tile (white gloss)

Liquid glass paint

Fine paintbrush Cotton buds

There are different forms of Islamic art There are a variety of motifs used in Islamic art. These semi-natural patterns used in early Islamic art decorated

buildings, textiles, pottery and manuscripts. The patterns are based on plants and flowers found in the natural

world. Islamic vegetal patterns feature Arabesque (meaning ‘in the Arab

fashion’ in French) patterns consisting of foliage and flowers in a linear pattern.

Some Islamic art uses floral designs e.g. iznik (Turkish influence) Some Islamic art uses geometric designs. Geometric patterns were very popular in the early Islamic civilisation

and they decorated everything from clothing to mosques. Geometric patterns could be used on their own or combined with

calligraphy or vegetal patterns to form more complex artwork. Geometric patterns consist of repeating, interlaced or overlapped shapes

arranged in complex, intricate patterns. A lot of Islamic art uses symmetry.

Year 6 – Fantastic Beasts

Outcome: Sculpture of a Fantastic Beast


Animation (from

the Latin word,

animare, to

breathe life into)

is the

visual art of

making a motion

picture from a

series of still

drawings.

Sculpture is

created through

three basic

processes:

carving

modelling or

assembly.

Plasticine is the

classic animation

material that has

been used for 30

years.

Hand built models

using hands and

point tools.

Represent features

of the form/figures

through different

shapes and sizes.

(A form is an

object defined by

contour, height,

depth and width.)

Carving: the sculptor removes unwanted

material to create the form; using wood,

stone or other material.

Modelling: the sculptor creates a form by

building it up using, for example; clay,

plasticine or paper mache.

Assembly: the sculptor joining

prefabricated elements.

Tools: Modelling tools, usually consisting

of metal or wire ends are useful when

sculpting and forming malleable materials

such as plasticine or clay.

Nick Park is a British animator who is best known for creating Wallace and Gromit, Creature Comforts and Shaun the Sheep.

Nick Park uses stop-motion to create the films. Stop-motion is a technique used in animation to bring

static objects to life on screen. This is achieved by moving the object/figure in increments while filming a frame per increment. When all the frames are played in sequence it shows the illusion of movement.

One second of film constitutes 24 separate frames. Stop-motion animation is time consuming. The filming rate

of Wallace and Gromit was typically around 30 frames per day per animator.

Detailed story boards (sketches) are created to show to the key parts of each scene.

Sculpture is the creation of three-dimensional forms. Nick Park used plasticine model construction to create the

figures/forms.
