Art

The Art department endeavours to develop both the academic and cultural aspects of a student’s life, preparing them for application of the skills learned in our lessons both within and beyond the seemingly ‘creative’ subjects, pathways and industries. We hope to instill students with a love of learning about Art and for them to consider themselves as young artists exploring their creative strengths, taking risks and utilising a wide range of themes, techniques, media and processes throughout their journey through our curriculum. Our environment is a respectful place to praise, celebrate and critique our own and other’s work and to be reflective. Our lessons are underpinned by the visual building blocks of art; ‘the formal elements’ alongside our key learning constructs around development, exploration, recording and presenting.

The aims and values of the department

  • All students are treated equally regardless of their innate skills in the subject or their qualities as performers.
  • That respect and recognition for the student’s work in class is at the core of the student’s confidence development in the subject.
  • To expose the students to a large variety of techniques and skills so that they can specialise in particular elements of the subject.
  • To enable students to place the work within the social, cultural, political or historical context within which it is placed.
  • To enable students to learn a variety of skills that will give them a large amount of creative freedom in their emerging work.
  • To develop our students into effective and reflective practitioners.
  • To teach skills and habits in a variety of contexts and not ‘isolation tasks’ so that students can apply these skills in a number of situations and become more flexible learners.

CLOSE UPS

Pupils begin by exploring their ability to draw from direct observation and explore the ‘Elements of Art’ as their foundation for all Schemes of Learning and future work encountered in the Department. These include an understanding of texture and their use of mark making with a variety of media to capture surface qualities within their own work. They will also develop an understanding of composition through use of sketchbooks and outcomes that showcase a range of media and mark making techniques.

WHY WE MAKE ART AND WHY IT IS TAUGHT

This project has been developed to delve into the perceived value of Art and the experience of being taught it as a discrete subject. It provides opportunities for students to be reflective on their past Art experience but also to look forward to how it may have an impact on them in the future, often in unexpected ways. Each lesson explores a theme with the overarching theme of ‘Medicine’ running in parallel. For example; students not only produce anatomical drawings but will pick apart the dissection practice of the work of Leonardo da Vinci and explore the medical ethics of his practice.

Key Learning Constructs to be developed over the academic year

There are four Assessment Objectives that OCR GCSE Learners are expected to demonstrate in Art and Design. These are detailed below:

AO1

Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources.

AO2

Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes.

AO3

Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.

AO4

Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.

Scheme of Learning Autumn Term

During the first term, students are introduced to the Assessment Criteria and life as a GCSE Fine Artist.

They undertake a term-long project entitled ‘A Few of my Favourite Things’ which allows students to consider themselves as artists and culminates in a ‘Private View’ exhibition and celebration event.

Assessment pieces Autumn Term

The project is holistically assessed and an expected grade for the end of the qualification will be reported based upon staff professional judgement at the end of this term,

Scheme of Learning Spring Term

Students will now embark upon their Portfolio Unit proper with a ‘Natural Forms’ subject matter as it’s starting point, This broad theme allows students to explore a range of media and techniques by undertaking tailored workshops delivered throughout the term. These include oil painting, watercolour, soft pastel, etching and mixed media.

Students will then follow more personalised routes for development and produce work based upon their intentions for their art and their audience.

Assessment pieces Spring Term

Student work will be assessed holistically and an expected grade will be reported for the end of the course.

Scheme of Learning Summer Term

Students continue to develop their personal ideas and work and are following their own agenda for their developing ideas. This is supported by 1:1 tutorials with staff and ‘Personalised Plans’ document these conversations. Artists are able to select the most appropriate media and techniques from their ‘toolkit’ of learning previously in the year to inform their decision making.

Assessment pieces Summer Term

Learners will produce a sustained outcome this term over the course of two full school days. This, alongside their preparatory students will be assessed holistically. An expected grade for the end of the course will be reported.

Opportunities beyond the taught curriculum:

Portfolio Refinement Club runs twice per week as an opportunity for students to gain further support with their Art, to access our facilities and as an opportunity to complete class and home learning.

Workshops will be offered throughout the year to complement the course and to address any misconceptions arising.

Students will visit the Lapworth Museum of Geology during Year 10 as a valuable contextual resource to support their Art studies.

Beyond the taught curriculum we also encourage students to participate in external opportunities such as the ‘Discover Articulation Challenge’ and the ‘Bio Art Attack’ prize to further broaden their experience.

PERSONAL INVESTIGATION

An Introduction to A Level Art

Throughout the Autumn Term A level Art Students will embark upon a range of workshops based upon materials and techniques and exciting ways of thinking and working. They will produce a portfolio of work around the very open ended theme of ‘Food’. The focus of the term is to ensure students are aware of the expectations of the qualification and it’s assessment. It will build upon the techniques and processes explored during Key Stage Four and encourage students to consider themselves as artists, the context in which their work is placed and the way their work is to be received by their audience.

Component 01: Personal Investigation (60%)

This is a practical portfolio with supporting contextual research in which learners are expected to develop a personal response based upon a starting point of their choice. A related study using words and illustrations demonstrating the context in which their portfolio exists, exploring the relevant genre, subject matter, movement or historical framework of the selected theme is also required and underpins their decision making with regard to their next steps and developing practical ideas.

Learners must show they have:

  • independently developed ideas through sustained and focused investigations in response to the starting point
  • produced material informed by contextual and other sources that informs the development of their practical work
  • explored ideas, techniques or processes appropriate to their chosen specialism(s)
  • recorded observations from sources relevant to intentions
  • critically reviewed and refined their work as it progresses
  • used their planning and preparation to produce coherent realisation(s)/outcome(s).

Personal Investigation (60%)

For the Personal Investigation, worth 60% of the overall grade, students are required to conduct a practical investigation into an idea, issue, concept or theme. The focus of the investigation must lead to a finished outcome or series of outcomes

The investigation should coherent, in depth, in which there is clear development from initial intentions and informed by relevant critical and contextual materials

Component 1 must also include 1.000-3,000 words of continuous prose which supports the practical work and underpins all decision making.

Assessment pieces Autumn Term

The A level criteria echoes GCSE assessment criteria therefore students will be familiar with the language and expectations in terms of providing evidence towards the objectives

The course components will measure how students have achieved the following assessment objectives:

AO1:

This is an opportunity for students to make connections with others and the world around them both historically and in contemporary contexts throughout their A level journeys

AO2: is not only an opportunity to explore different materials and techniques and to exploit their potential but to consider how to exploit the true potential of ideas and ensure their work uncovers deeper meaning

AO3: relates to the quality of written and visual communication throughout the duration of the A level and the degree by which a student is able to communicate with quality and demonstrate progression

AO4:

This objective is largely focused around outcomes that are produced throughout the course yet not exclusively so. It relates to how well the student responds to their given or chosen theme and is able to make relevant and appropriate connections throughout.

Students will be provided with generic feedback throughout the course related to the AOs and will also have an opportunity to gain feedback from their peers through their involvement in group tutorials and such like.

As well as giving our learners the chance to creatively engage with the world around them and develop technical skills, the study of art and design equips them with transferable skills that will support them in both further study and a range of careers

– analytical thinking

– creative problem solving

– working independently

– research methods

-The ability to be reflective and learn from experiences

– understanding how context shapes meaning

– how to communicate effectively

The analytical and creative problem solving elements of the courses offered will support students in a range of subjects from History, English, Business, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and even Medicine!

The Art Department comprises a wealth of experience and some excellent facilities. We have the luxury of benefiting from two well resourced classrooms, a Sixth Form Art Studio and a Photographic Dark Room. We also benefit from ceramics and printmaking facilities.

Should you wish to help you child with their learning in Art, we would suggest you begin by taking a look at their knowledge organiser for the project or the department website for further helpful hints.

Parents/carers can support their child through providing them with ample space in which to work on their art free from distraction.
They can also support them by accompanying them in attending cultural experiences to enhance their understanding of art and the context in which it has been made.
We hope that our parents will take an active interest in their child’s developing projects and will encourage them to discuss the work as it progresses and question the decisions our students have made regarding their art.  This will encourage them to develop their ability to annotate and reflect upon their emerging work and thought processes.
Please also encourage your daughter to introduce you to their course handbooks at Key Stages Four and Five to gain further understanding of the qualifications they are studying.

As well as giving you the chance to creatively engage with the world around you and develop technical skills, the study of art and design equips you with transferable skills that will support you in both further study and a range of careers

Alongside the practical expertise you’ll develop in your studies, you’ll also learn transferable skills valued in both higher education and the world of work:
