CONTINUOUS LINE DRAWING

The line in a continuous line drawing is unbroken from the beginning to the end. The drawing implement stays in uninterrupted contact with the surface of the paper during the entire length of the drawing.

5.Writting excersise: All students must read andre-write the following paragraph in their own words

using the word bank provide.

From 1886 to 1888, Van Gogh was living in Paris. It was during this time that he created many still life paintings; a lot of these were of fish or fruit, but there were several paintings he created of shoes. One of the most notable shoe paintings that Van Gogh created was A Pair of Shoes, 1886 (shown below – top left). This painting was discussed in an essay titled “The Origin of the Work of Art” by Martin Heidegger in the 1930s

and has since been the subject of many debates surrounding art and life.Another reason that the shoe paintings still fascinate individuals today is that these works are also often

interpreted as a study of Van Gogh’s life. In these paintings, he captures a pair or pairs of shoes on the floor most with laces untied as if they have just been taken off at the end of a long day. Unlike other still life

subjects, the shoes have been to all the places and have seen all of the struggles of the owner. To many, Van Gogh’s shoes with the worn leather and tired soles represent the rough life of the artist himself and the

weathered journey he has endured.In a letter to his brother Theo from August 29, 1888, Van Gogh wrote about a still life and one of the shoe

paintings when stating,“I have heaps of ideas for my work, and if I go on with figure painting very industriously, I may possibly find more. But what’s the use? Sometimes I feel too feeble to fight against existing circumstances, and I should

have to be cleverer and richer and younger to win.Fortunately for me, I do not hanker after victory any more, and all that I seek in painting is a way to make life

bearable.”Today Van Gogh’s shoe paintings can be seen in several different museums including The Van Gogh Museum,

Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, The Baltimore Museum of Art, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. There is also one in a private collection.

View Van Gogh’s shoe paintings below, and comment and share your thoughts on these works.

Plenary: Using the art vocabulary word bank in their sketchbooks select an adjective to write on another pupils drawing.

Homework: Observational drawing of the contents of your school bag using only continual line.

LESSON 3 Objectives: To understand how mark making has been used to convey meaning Outcomes: Hand print with mark making frame.

Mark Making Mark making is a term used to describe the different

lines, patterns, and textures we create in an artwork. It applies to any art material we use on any surface, not only paint on canvas or pencil on paper. A dot made

with a pencil, a line created with a pen, a swirl painted with a brush, these are all types of mark making.

Prehistoric Art35,000 B.C.E. to 1,500 B.C.E.

The Beginning of Art

Prehistory- before writing.

Who were the artists?

• Cro-Magnon peoples from 30,000 BCE are currently known as the world’s first artists.

• They lived in caves when it was cold. • Hunted animals for food, clothing, tools, and

shelter.

The First Discovery…

• In the autumn of 1879, Spanish nobleman and amateur archeologist Marcelino Sanz de Sautuloa and his young daughter, Maria, set out to explore a cave in the hillside of Altamira, not far from the family estate in northern Spain. As a gentleman scholar, De Sautuola took a serious interest in finding out more about the prehistoric past.

Little Maria was small enough to see into the narrow opening of the cave in their backyard.

What she saw changed history…

Making history…

• Maria had just become the first modern human to set eyes on the first gallery of prehistoric paintings ever to be discovered.

The Altamira Cave

Cave paintings

• Cave Paintings are found all over the world. Western Europe, primarily Southern France and Northern Spain, are rich with caves containing Stone Age wall paintings.

The Art

• Rock paintings have been found to include line drawings in charcoal and red ochre, painted images, and negative images, which are formed by painting the rock area around an object, such as a hand.

How were they made?

• These Paleolithic artists made paint out of natural substances such as red and yellow earth, different colored minerals, and black charcoal. They would grind these into a powder and mix with water (scientists have found cave water works really well for this).

The Lascaux Caves

Lascaux Caves15,000-13,000BCE

Researchers think that this horse was part of a magic hunting ritual. They believe that the artists threw spears at the horse because there are marks on the walls of the cave.

Task 2: Create a boarder on one A4 sheet in their book using mark making techniques from the starter activity.

Task3: In the centre of the page with the frame place your hand palm down firmly flat on the page. Using an oil pastel colour of your choice colour in the negative space around your hand and

lift.

Homework: Revisit PowerPoint on weebly and complete prehistoric mark making grid and if incomplete

Van Gogh paragraph.

Task 4: On the next clear page in your sketchbooks produce an A4 copy of the cave

painting provided. Remember to add detail and colour.

Homework: Complete cave painting and

add colour.

LESSON 4 Objectives:To gain an understanding of the practice function and aesthetic of Egyptian art. Faith and society Outcomes:Context boxParagraph Peer profile drawing from observation

Starter: Prior learning cloud. Powerpoint on Egyptian art and context box.

Ancient Egyptian Art

• The art of the ancient Egyptians is about 5000 years old and developed between 3000BC and 200AD.

• Artworks are highly stylised, organised and followed strict rules and conventions. Symbols, including colours and hieroglyphics, were used to tell the story of the artwork.

Ancient Egyptian Art

• Hieroglyphics is a method of writing with pictures.• A scribe is someone who is trained to

read and write hieroglyphics

Ancient Egyptian Art

• Artworks took the forms of painting and sculpture.

• In 2D works, objects, figures and symbols were depicted as clearly outlined, flat shapes.

• In 3D sculptures, figures of importance were shown in basic poses with their left foot forward

Ancient Egyptian Art

• Images of the human figure combined profile views (side view) of the head and legs with frontal views of the eyes and shoulders

• It was also conventional for people of high status to be depicted as larger than people of low status

Ancient Egyptian Art

• Every colour had a particular meaning and was used for a reason

• Black was the colour of the night and the underworld, but also, the colour of the fertile soil of the Nile

• Blue was the colour of the sky and the water

• Gold was the colour of the sun and the skin of the gods

• Green was the colour of vegetation

Ancient Egyptian Art

• In ancient Egypt it was fashionable for both Men and Women to wear make-up

• People did not realise though, that the lead-based paints they were using were actually poisonous!
