Aims:

help us implement the new National Curriculum for 6th-8th Grade in art and design. I have focused on one of the NC Orders: 2.1(d) draw to express perception and invention, to communicate feelings, experiences and ideas, and for pleasure.

provide contemporary examples of ‘drawings’ in its widest sense with many digital/new media, Flicker and local contemporary artists.

Limitations:

This is clearly just one small part however I hope other users of the TES [www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=18842221480] might have a go at creating other PowerPoint's with different areas of focus.

Developing and sharing clear success criteria is key to making these drawing projects successful and meaningful learning experiences to today's students.

Remember …Reasons to remember:

commemorate, mourn, nostalgia, to promote debate/conversation, to learn from our mistakes.

Contemplate …Come to a conclusion; work out; understand; reflect.

Investigate …Visual elements and principles; physical properties of materials; the physical limits of drawing; drawing techniques and processes; who, where, when, what and why?

Observe …Visual elements and principles; traditions;religious and political beliefs;Human rights; laws.

I feel that much of the drawing work I have completed and seen in schools has been observational or investigative at key stage three. I feel drawing becomes more contemplative at Key Stage Four (and beyond) because drawing becomes a more personal activity as students develop their own interests and ideas. Is this common to our shared experience as artist-teachers?

I have seen little evidence of, or practiced in my own teaching, drawing to ‘remember’. Do issues based projects offer more opportunities to draw to remember?

These key terms present strong opportunities for developing cross-curricular links: History, Science, Religious Education, Citizenship, PE, Design Technology, Mathematics

Working from first-hand observation: This could include taking inspiration from the work of others, drawing on personal experiences, drawing on imagination in response to stimuli, or using first-hand observation to record images, sounds and ideas in visual and written forms.

Draw to express: This could include drawing: to create and invent (eg to visualise, dream and imagine); for perception (eg to observe, investigate, contemplate, remember); to explore ideas and possibilities; to design for pleasure; or to communicate feelings, experiences and ideas to others (eg visualise, use codes and symbols). Students could work with a wide range of tools and materials (eg erasers, pens, string and wire) and learn a range of drawing techniques (eg collage, animation and wash), using different kinds of drawing for different purposes.
