Title of Unit Surrealism Year 9 Core 4 Diploma Aims Term 3 To develop a critical understanding of the Surrealist Art Movement To explore and investigate the work of Surrealist artists To understand the importance and significance of using the imagination and dreams when creating Surrealist art work To make a sustained piece of work based on the key concepts of Surrealism Objectives To create an analysis of a Surrealist painting using key words and concepts To create a research page of a Surrealist artist using images and annotation To create a series of experiments using the imagination to generate different ideas To develop and refine ideas in order to create a sustained piece of work showing the culmination of investigation, research and experimentation Challenge Question – Where do Ideas come from? Key Questions British Values Democracy – Where/when have you used your imagination to make decisions about your future? Liberty – It is important to be able to express ourselves creatively? What would happen if we couldn’t? Rule of Law – Are you allowed to post whatever your imagination can create on the internet? Tolerance & Respect – How do you show respect to someone if you disagree with what they think? Painting influenced by what is happening around them? Moral – Does it matter if you can’t always understand what is happening in a piece of art or should the viewer always be able to understand what the artist is painting? Do artists have a social responsibility? Spiritual – Miro was known to starve himself to create hallucinations to help him come up with ideas. Do you think you need to have a certain kind a character to be an artist? How might artists today expand their mind and get their creative juices flowing? How do you use your imagination? Cultural – Miro is a Spanish artist. Can you see any hints in his art work as to the culture surrounding his work? What clues can you see in Dali’s work that show he is also from Spain? 2D SMSC Social – What was happening in Europe at the time of the Surrealist art movement? How are Artist’s Art Understand that the Surrealists produced work based on dreams and the imagination To be able to recognise a Surrealist painting Design a Surrealist piece of work using their imagination and ideas taken from their chosen artist Experiment with some different ideas and images Create a piece of artwork showing some of their artist’s techniques and style Most students will: (10-15 points - Silver) What is Surrealism? What does the word ‘Surreal’ mean? Why might an artist want to create a surreal painting? Who are the main Surrealist artists and how can you recognise their work? Have you ever had a surreal dream? How did it make you feel? Why might someone want to escape the ‘real’ world? What are the techniques your artist has used in his painting? Describe your artist’s use of colour, shape, line, pattern, media, composition… What media are you going to use in your work and why? What the unit covers Year Group 9 All students will: (5-10 points - Bronze) Printmaking Sculpture Understand how Surrealist Artists produced work based on the imagination and give their own opinions & ideas To be able to describe the key features of a Surrealist painting using the key words and expressing personal opinion Develop and refine ideas to create a Surrealist image using their imagination and ideas inspired by their chosen artist Experiment with different ideas and Surrealist techniques Create a Surrealist piece of work showing confident use of their artist’s techniques, skills and style Some students will: (15-20 points - Gold) Have a developed understanding of how Surrealist artists produced work using their imagination and be able to formulate their own ideas and opinions Critically analyse & evaluate their chosen artist using key words and full sentences/paragraphs Develop and refine their own designs to create a Surrealist image, successfully combing their own ideas and that of their chosen artist Confidently experiment with a number of Surrealist concepts and techniques to create independent and imaginative work. Independently create a Surrealist piece of work demonstrating high level understanding of their artist’s skills and techniques.

Weeks 1, 2 & 3 (There is no baseline test for this project as students will be assessed on their work as a whole) Resources Introduction to Surrealism and the concept of Art work made using the imagination and dreams. Students create a title page showing an understanding of the visual language of Surrealism. They include key words and facts in their annotation to add to their design. Students focus on presentation, layout and composition. In groups, students create an analysis of different surrealist paintings by working together to share information and expressing personal opinions and ideas. (Dali, Magritte & Miro) Group work enables greater support for lower ability student. Some students may also have different questions created using blooms taxonomy to structure differentiation. Students then select a Surrealist artist for study based on their own likes & areas of strength. They create an individual analysis of a Surrealist painting, expressing personal opinions and ideas. Some students have access to starter sentences, key words and writing frames. The more able work independently and adapt and refine their knowledge and understanding of how to create an artist analysis. Weeks 4, 5 & 6 (Students have the choice of how to present their work. Either in their book, display sheets or a portfolio) Students create at least 2 surrealist drawings using their own ideas and designs based on dreams & their own imagination. A series of design briefs and surrealist games are used to enable students to develop confidence in working independently & using their own ideas as a starting point to create work. A variety of media and resources are also available to support students who will struggle to depend on their drawing ability to generate ideas. Students apply their knowledge and understanding to create art work, take risks and experiment with ideas, composition and media. Students evaluate their work and progress, adapting and refining their art work as it progresses. Students consider the quality of their work and make improvements to the key features and ideas. The termly homework project is set and offers students a chance to develop their knowledge of their chosen artist. This work will enable students to make informed decisions and choices about their own designs and ideas. The homework project should be issued in the last lesson before half term. Week 7 Students use their drawings, research & imagination/ideas to design a Surrealist piece of work. Students make a Art books, pencil, rubber, worksheets, the internet, visual aids, A3 sugar paper, A3 cartridge paper, block paint, watercolour paint, brushes, water pots, mixing plates, felt pens, marker pens, mirrors, drawing pencils, photographs, magazines, scissors, PVA glue, fine liners… Differentiation Size/Scale of paper/work Use of materials/technique Choice of different materials/media Differentiated worksheets Differentiated homework sheets Starter sentences and key words Progress Line & Success criteria Demonstrations and examples on board Seating plans/G&T, SEND & EAL identified Questioning, choice & expressing opinion Extension activities Evaluation and self-assessment Artists Surrealism, Miro, Dali, Magritte spider-diagram of their best ideas for far, showing understanding of their strengths by selecting a media to work with. Weeks 8, 9, 10 & 11 Students start to plan their work, beginning by drawing out their design, starting with the composition. Students who are creating a photomontage will begin by selecting appropriate images from magazines and storing them for future use, creating a background before they begin sticking down. Students then begin to add colour to their work. Colours should be well thought out and should illustrate the colours that their chosen artist used in their work. Students have the opportunity to select their own media – watercolour paint, coloured pencil, shading pencil, fine liner/biro. Students who are creating a photomontage may begin sticking their images down and working out the composition. Students finish their work taking into consideration their artist’s techniques and style. e.g. the colour black features heavily in Miro’s work and students may wish to out-line using a black marker pen. Week 12 Self-assessment and evaluation Students have the opportunity to reflect on the work they have produced this term and assess the progress they have made. Cross-Curricular Links – Maths, RE Literacy – Research, Evaluation Numeracy – Composition, Shape, Pattern ICT – Research, Visual displays, Worksheets, Online safety – How do you reference apps and social media platforms? Applied learning - Group discussion, peer assessment, contextual studies, the design process BLP skills – Plan, research, explore, adapt, imagine, experiment, make links, assess, set targets, know how to improve, reflect, evaluate, give & receive criticism, co-operate, discuss, persevere & manage distractions Assessment (N.C. levels 3 - 8) Termly set homework project Baseline drawing test & End of unit level Peer, self and teacher evaluation (2*s & A Wish)
