Early Childhood

Modern Masterpiece: As part of a broad-based study of plants and growth, children will view and discuss Matisse’s Still Life With Aubergines, 1911, Picasso’s Green Still Life, 1914 and Miro’s Still Life 1, 1922-23 and paint a representation of one of these artworks.

 

Shapes and Faces: After studying Picasso’s Painter and Model, 1928, and identifying different shapes in the painting, use coloured shapes to make a collage of a Cubist-style face.

 
     

Middle Childhood

Machine People Collage: After studying Leger’s paintings, particularly Big Julie, 1945 and Woman with a Book, 1923, create a mixed media art work that combines the human form with machines.

 
Room For A Friend: After studying Matisse’s bust sculptures create a clay bust sculpture based on a significant person. Inspired by Matisse’s Interior with a Violin Case, 1918/19, make an interior painting on canvas reflecting aspects of this significant person’s Personality. Display both finished works together.  
     

Early Adolescence

Birds, Wings & Flying Things: After studying Constantin Brancusi’s sculptures, particularly Bird in Space, 1928, and Young Bird, 1928, create clay sculptures inspired by birds, wings and flight.

 
My Modern Life Collage: After studying Romare Bearden’s mixed media works, particularly The Conjur Woman, 1964, The Dove, 1964and Patchwork Quilt, 1970, students create mixed media artworks based on their own lives.  
     

Late Adolescence

Difference In the Environment: After studying Mondrian’s paintings, create large abstract, geometric paintings which communicate ideas about differences in the urban environment.

 
Face Up: After studying Andy Warhol’s art works, create large mixed media works on board which communicate ideas about self and identity.  
Homage to de Chirico: After studying Giorgio De Chirico’s paintings, create Surrealist style paintings incorporating illusion, symbolism, dreams and imagination.  
Techno Romance: After examining Ferdinand Leger’s passion with the machine-age expressed through his paintings, create art works which communicate ideas about the impact of technology, today, on human lives.
