Covid 19 working from home ideas
Below are a number of suggestions for every Year group to be working on, if you have to self isolate or the school closes
In the headings above Key Stage 3 4 5 etc there are schemes or units of work or exam guides for all the relevant students that they have been working on since September of 2019 or FEB 2020 if sitting the Exam unit.
The A level and GCSE students have a teacher guidebook to follow.
They all have a sketchbook and inside they have a paper copy of each UNIT of work. You will see that each UNIT has a theme and a number of tasks, in the main they work on the same task at the same time, but as we all work at different paces some may be ahead or in fact behind. Do not email the ART TEACHERS for work as I have built links above to guide the students. They all know what UNIT of work they are doing in class at present and just need to work on the task they are on, then move forward, easy.
If they don't have paint for example then they can adapt and use tonal pencil, colour pencil or collage newspaper etc. I have posted previous UNITS of work that they can dip into as needed.
They can Review, Reflect and Redo previous work to gain a higher end of year assessment level.
Year 7
At present Year 7 are working on the colour wheel.
They need to complete a collage colour circle and a collage apple ( refer to the UNIT of Work ) in the Headings above.
Below are sections from the Unit of the Units of work.
Year 7 need to be doing each task on the current UNIT but they can also be doing a Research topic on Micheal Craig Martin, his back ground, the Art he does and how he does it. Then they can find a simple every day object to draw, and then colour it in his style flat graphic style, that for example would be at least one hour on each stage.
They have aprox 1 hour 15 mins a week timetabled Art lessons and a 25 minute homework.
They can also do research on the 1960s Art Movement POP Art. This is a later task on the Unit of Work but great fun and easy to do at home.
If they really get excited about the Art work they can also do the last task which is to make a POP art type sculpture from 'rubbish' ! They can research the Artists Claes Oldenburg to help.

Pop Art guide
use magazines to create a collage apple
Make your own images like the one below in style of Micheal Craig Martin
Year 8
Year 8 have been working on a portrait theme all year, how to draw a face. They then made a lino print. This can't be done at home but they can redo their tonal self portrait and start to make a colour version of it in the style of Henri Matisse and the Fauves, like the Mr Sinart portrait below.
Year 9
Year 9 have completed an Icon project and have just started work on a UNIT exploring interesting surfaces and textures. They have an Artist to research Geoff Yeomans and a number of photos of interesting surfaces like the ones below to take. I want to see pages of drawings of interesting surfaces, they can use tonal pencils, biros and colour pencils. I would like to see two or three pages of small studies and then two larger full page detailed drawings.
They must have 20-30 photos they have taken to help. They need to write why they took these images etc.
Using images like the above they can make lots of drawings in pencil or biro.
