Art and Design:
Theme: Cubism / Angu Walters / Africa
Artists: Picasso, Marlina Vera and Angu Walters
Cubism and fragmented images
Homework’s

Drawings
TERM 1


Artist information and analysis applied to theme of Cubism. Students will create a
page investigating the theme of Cubism and look at two Artists Picasso and
Marlina Vera. (Traditional and Contemporary)
Artist’s copies responding using different materials and techniques such as
printing, painting and drawing, creating samples in the style of both artists.
Written analysis to support visual investigations. Compare and contrast both
Artists.
Responding to theme-Cubism/Fragmented images

Drawings of fragmented images, Cubism paintings and artwork focusing on the
work of Picasso and Marlina Vera using pencil, oil pastel, colour pencil,
watercolour and mixed media.
Observational drawings


From objects relevant to theme and to artist investigation (Still life/Portraits)
Demonstrate different drawing skills such as shade, tone, hatching and crosshatching, considering composition and scale, colour blending and mixing,
applying paint and using collage within artwork.
Annotate these drawings by describing what has been successful, how skills can
inform personal outcome.

Drawing Tasks
Photographs and observational
drawings
Mini outcome as a practise
Page 2: Development (Weeks5-8)


Students will start to develop ideas in response to the Cubism theme from their
still life drawings/portrait drawings in the style of one of the artists. Students will
write about their work, explaining their ideas and intentions. Students will start to
experiment with a range of materials which are relevant, showing tone in their
work and blending colours effectively.
Students will start to refine their ideas and produce 3 possible designs for their
assessed outcome. Students will analyse which designs work best and why.
Outcome 1: Colour pencil and collage (Weeks 8-12)
TERM 2
A colour pencil and collage outcome in response to one of the Artists researched on the
initial research page and the theme Cubism. Outcome to be developed from observational
drawings and should be a refined version of one of the potential outcomes from the
development page.
This piece of work can either be a still life or portrait in the style of either a Traditional
Cubist Artist eg: Picasso, or a more Contemporary Cubist Artist eg: Marlina Vera. The
outcome must demonstrate the following art skills: the use of shade and tone, colour
blending, drawing ability, the use of collage to enhance in a Cubist style and the overall
response to the theme and an Artist.
Angu Walters
Homework’s
Term 2 will consist of 2 completed pages that explore the different elements of the Art and
Design process looking at the Art work of Angu Walters. These pages will lead to an
assessed personal response or outcome using mixed media.

will create a page investigating his work.
Artist’s copies responding using different materials and techniques such as

Written analysis to support visual investigations.
Responding to theme-Artist investigation (Angu Walters)

Exploring the artwork by Angu Walters using pencil, oil pastel, colour pencil,
watercolour and mixed media. Experimental drawings looking at African related
images such as Masks and patterns.

Walters work
Skill based activities such as
colour blending, selecting colour
schemes, developing shade and
tonal work
Key words relevant to artist



From objects and images relevant to theme and to artist investigation (Angu
Walters)
Demonstrate different drawing skills such as shade, tone, hatching and crosshatching, considering composition and scale, colour blending and mixing,
applying paint and using mixed media within artwork.
Annotate these drawings by describing what has been successful, how skills can
inform personal outcome.



Students will start to develop ideas and potential compositions in response to
Angu Walters work. This will be developed from their observational drawings
which will include Primary and Secondary observed drawings. Students will write
about their work, explaining their ideas and intentions. Students will start to
experiment with a range of materials which are relevant, showing tone in their
work and blending colours effectively, showing a considered colour scheme.
Students will be encouraged to refine their work and show skill.
Students will start to refine their ideas and produce 3 possible designs for their
assessed outcome. Students will analyse which designs work best and why.
Outcome 2: Painting using mixed media. (Weeks 8-12)
Students will respond to the Art work of Angu Walters and produce a paint and mixed
media outcome.
Students’ outcome will be assessed and will demonstrate their application of and
drawing. It will also assess how students apply collage and use different materials to
refine and develop their work.
Extended writing and analysing art
work with independence
Africa
Term 3 will consist of 2 completed pages that explore the different elements of the Art and
Design process looking at the theme of Africa and African Masks. These pages will lead
to an assessed personal response or outcome where students will design and make an
African inspired mask using card and a variety of other materials.
Page 1:Responding (Weeks 1-5)

TERM 3

Investigation and exploration of African Masks. Students will create an
information page looking at African Masks in detail.
Drawings and experiments responding to the theme of African Masks. Students
will be encouraged to use different materials and techniques such as printing,
painting and drawing, creating samples looking at pattern. Written analysis to
support visual investigations.
Responding to theme-African Masks

Exploring detail and pattern most commonly seen on African masks using pencil,
oil pastel, colour pencil, watercolour and mixed media. Experimental drawings
exploring possible mask shapes and patterns. Experimentation using other
materials which could be used to decorate and embellish a mask. Experimentation
with card to create a 3D mask.
Observational drawings

From objects and images relevant to theme and mask theme. Demonstrate
different drawing skills such as shade, tone, hatching and cross-hatching,
considering composition and scale, colour blending and mixing, applying paint
and using mixed media within artwork. Experimentation using different materials.
Annotate these drawings by describing what has been successful, how skills can
inform personal outcome.

Collage
Independent research exploring
the Mask Theme
Collected objects relevant to
theme
Selecting materials and
embellishments to enhance and
decorate
Outcome: 3D Masks plus Wax resist (Weeks 8-12)
Students will respond to the theme of African Masks and make a 3D outcome using card,
paint, string and a variety of other materials to enhance and embellish. Students’ outcome
will be assessed and will demonstrate their understanding of how to use 3D materials
effectively. It will also assess how students apply embellishments and use different
materials as a form of decoration.
Students will also produce a 2D Wax resist outcome of their work as an extension of the
Mask theme.
