Lesson 4
Activity
Continue with these expressive ideas
develop ideas, drawing each other.
Mark making, using fine line pens
Discuss how could move
onto next stage.
Get them to come up with
unique ideas for creating
line and marks: eyes shut,
4 pencils in each hand,
drawing with pencil in eye,
in nose in crease of arm, in
toe, in ear behind back,

Start filling in the shapes and spaces
created by the continuous line
drawings with many different colours
similar to Picasso.
Show examples of good
practise and highlight
pupils work,
demonstrating next phase
Continue filling in the shapes with
bright colours creating interesting
abstract designs, which will be the
design for their final piece.
Scan in various good
examples and highlight on

Lesson 8
Activity
Teaching / Learning
Approaches
They have to transfer their =design
into 3D using provided template,
working out where the features
would go, front and back.
Hand out work sheet
template with heads
drawn in 3D form. Show
example how to translate
design onto 3D template.
Continue as above.
Do not finish this stage
before moving onto next
stage – return to 3D design
while waiting for
PVA/paint mixture to dry
in next stage.

Activity
Line drawing and trace with wire coat
hanger, attach it to wooden base.
Lesson 9
Teaching / Learning
Approaches
Work in pairs (or three’s)
Resources
Draw single continuous
line of partner from the
side. Emphasising features.
Slightly
caricatured/abstract.
Picasso continuous
line drawings of
‘camel, owl, horse,
sausage dog’ etc.
Draw second single
continuous line from the
front emphasising the ears
and shape of the head,
don’t forget the neck
Fine line pens.
Copy 2 lines with 2 coat
hangers (hangers might
have to be trimmed below
twist)
Wooden bases: 1
for each pupil
roughly 7x7x3 cm.
Insert sculpted wire into
holes in each corner of
wooden base – maybe use
glue gun to secure if holes
too big.
Attach both pieces of wire
together at cross over
point on top of sculpture
with masking tape
Homework /
Assessment
Marker pens
Paper
Power drill for
holes: 4 to be
drilled into each
corner
2x hangers for each
pupil
Glue gun
Masking tape
Pile together some pots
and pans in an
interesting way and do a
line drawing showing
the lids and handles of
the pots as well.
Art and Design
Very important to get the
tight lined up with the wire
so the toe line is in line
with the wire on top of
head. Very important to
not have any rips, careful
placing over wire, watch
for anything catching.
Cover wire sculpture with tights
Lesson 10
Continue with colouring design while
waiting for sculpture to dry.
Stretch and tie at bottom of
wooden base.
Tights
Staple tight to bottom and
trim excess
White paint and
PVA mixture
2/3pva and 1/3
paint.
Leave space on bottom for
name.
Coloured
pens/pencils
