Year 5 Art and Design

I need space- Drawing 

This unit focuses on understanding retrofuturism, developing skills in evaluating images and creating art through various drawing processes, including collagraph printmaking. It emphasises the development of pupils' independent artistic skills and their ability to generate, test, and refine ideas in their sketchbooks, leading to a final piece of artwork. 

1.  Space imagery.  To  explore the purpose and effect of imagery.

2. Drawing decisions. To understand and explore decision making in creative processes.

3. Teis Albers. To develop drawn ideas through printmaking.

4. A vision of the future. To test and develop ideas using sketchbooks.

5. Revisiting ideas. To  apply an understanding of drawing processes to revisit and improve ideas.

I need space- Drawing

National Curriculum Objectives

• • To create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas.

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

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

  • 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] 

Portraits- Painting & mixed media

This unit offers pupils opportunities to develop skills in creating interesting portrait drawings using words, experimenting with materials and techniques, and constructing self-portraits that represent aspects of themselves. This comprehensive unit enhances their understanding and application of art vocabulary and encourages thoughtful decisions in their artwork composition. 

1. Poem portrait. To explore how a drawing can be developed. 

2. Developing drawings. To combine materials for effect.

3. Self-portraits. To identify the features of self-portraits.

4. Changing faces. To develop ideas towards an outcome by experimenting with materials and techniques.

5. Mixed-media portraits. To apply knowledge and skills to create a mixed-media self-portrait.
