Year 5 Art and Design

Craft & Design- Architecture

This unit focuses on architecture through sketching a house from first-hand or second-hand observation, use basic shapes to place key features and form the composition, measuring to work out proportions, noticing small details to incorporate into the drawing by observing, selecting a section of their drawing that creates an interesting composition, with a variety of patterns, lines and texture, follow steps to create a print with clear lines, with some smudging, purposefully evaluating their work, demonstrating what went well and what could be improved, creating a building design based on a theme or set purpose, drawing a plan view or front elevation of their building, annotating the key features, discussing Hundertwasser’s work and recognise his style, creating a factual presentation about Hundertwasser in a visually pleasing way, showing understanding of what a monument is for by designing a monument that symbolises a person or event, describing their monument and explain their choices and giving constructive feedback to others about their monument designs.

1. Observational drawing- houses- What details do you notice when looking at a house closely? To apply observational drawing skills to interpret forms accurately. 

2. House monoprint- How can your original drawing be adapted for printing? To apply composition skills to develop a drawing into print.

3. Be an architect- What makes a building functional and visually appealing?   To apply an understanding of architecture to design a building.

4. Friedensreich Hundertwasser- What patterns, shapes, or colors did Hundertwasser use in his work?  To extend design ideas through research and sketchbook use.

5. Monument- What story or idea do you want your monument to tell?  To explore and evaluate the intention of a design.

Craft & Design- Architecture

National Curriculum Objectives

•  To develop their techniques, including their control and their use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kind of art, craft and design.

• To create sketchbooks to record their observations and use them to review and revise ideas.

• To improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay].

• To learn about great artists, architects and designers in history.

Drawing- Depth, emotion and movement

This unit focuses on using various types of lines to emphasise emotion or draw attention, describing how artists have shown emotion, describing how artists have created an effective composition using a focal point and balance, using colour and line to convey emotion or movement in their sketch, designing a print, considering the composition carefully, using a combination of marks to create tone and depth, describing how artists use tone to show depth in their artwork, creating an effective printing plate and reflecting and improve their sketchbook experiments and final work.

1.  Expressing movement- How can different types of lines show movement?   To apply an understanding of expressive and gestural lines to capture movement.

2. Showing emotion through line- How can lines show different emotions?   To understand how lines and marks can communicate emotion.

3. Showing depth through mark making- What is shading and how does it make drawings look more realistic?   To understand how artists use mark making and shading to create depth.

4. Composition for printing- How can we arrange shapes and images to make our print interesting?  To apply an understanding of composition to plan a print.

5. Printing- How can we turn a drawing into a print design?   To develop drawn ideas through printmaking.

Painting & mixed media- Expressive Portraits

This unit offers pupils opportunities to identify how artists use self-portraits to communicate aspects of their identity, identify artistic choices, including symbolism, colour and composition, and suggest what they might communicate, use evidence from an artwork to explain interpretations of an artist’s self-portrait, select and use words and phrases to communicate meaningful aspects of identity in a self-portrait, experiment with colour and expressive brushstrokes to communicate different effects, experiment with monoprinting techniques and layering to develop a mixed-media self-portrait, use ideas and experiments from sketchbook work to inform a final piece and select and purposefully combine media and techniques to communicate aspects of identity in a final mixed-media self-portrait.

1. Exploring self-portraits - To explore how artists communicate their identity through self-portraits.

2. Personality portraits- To develop ideas that communicate identity in a self-portrait.

3. Expressive painting-  To explore how colour and brushstrokes can communicate aspects of identity.

4. Painterly printmaking- To explore how monoprinting can be layered with painting to develop a self- portrait.

5. Magnificent mixed media- To create a mixed-media self-portrait that communicates identity.
