=Year 8 Art:=

Scoresby SC At Scoresby we tend to divide the junior school art curriculum based on the elements of art. Colour, line and texture in year 7 and shape, tone and form in year 8.

- Introduction activity: Students brainstorm shapes and discover the difference between geometric and organic shapes. They then create two compositions by cutting out coloured paper and gluing it onto an A4 piece of black paper. One composition uses only organic shapes and the other uses only geometric shapes. - Pop Art: Students look at Andy Warhol and create a paper mosaic of Marilyn Monroe. They view a PowerPoint of Warhol's work, complete a worksheet and then trace a picture of Marilyn Monroe and colour it using torn up pieces of paper.
 * Shape Projects**



- Pop Art: Students look at work by Lichtenstein and use pointillism to create a cartoon picture featuring several tones. - Plumber's Nightmare: Students create a composition containing a lot of pipes going in all directions and render them using tone.
 * Tone Projects



****Form Projects** - Students use wire and stocking to create a sculpture - Students use cross hatching to create the appearance of form - Students create a ceramic animal by joining two pinch pots - Students create giant pop art sculptures from cardboard etc based on the work of Claes Oldenburg

the last two can be photocopied back to back- there are three different artworks in the lichtenstein analyse worksheet. The comparing artworks sheet could be used for any two artists (in this case lichtenstein and warhol) the teacher needs to supply the artworks and information.
