KS2 Art and design

Building on our understanding of New Media and Abstract art forms, students will learn what an algorithm is and create algorithm art experiments in preparation for the next lesson...

Using our research into sound art, and our own shapes, patterns and designs from last lesson, we will combine them this time to develop a large watercolour painting.

Choosing one design from the previous lesson, students will develop the work using paint (or colouring pencils) using a colour scheme and using negative space. With a fine-line to finish, students will be able to finish the unit with an art piece to frame at home.

In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of what New Media is and how it is used in contemporary Art. They will then create a pixelated art piece using paint, as demonstrated, but this can also be created using a digital process or colouring pencils.

By linking art making with thoughtfulness and kindness, in this lesson we will be focusing on paper techniques to create artwork that makes a difference.

In this lesson we shall look at using nature as our medium for transforming outdoor areas and partake in some foraging. We shall think about the fleeting beauty of the natural world.

In this lesson we shall consider 'what is site-specific art?' We'll look at spaces that can transformed by art and create a wax-melt piece to transform a window.
