Self-image In this unit, pupils explore their personal identity as a starting point. They create images that reflect their ideas of themselves, working from observation, memory and imagination. They develop skills using traditional materials and processes and have the opportunity to combine traditional and digital media. They learn about the ideas, methods and approaches used by other artists who have made images of themselves and/or portrayed others. Examples of art, craft and design:

What's in a building? In this unit, pupils explore their ideas and feelings about buildings and their experiences of walking through spaces. They record interesting features, such as doorways, arches, windows, porches and courtyards. They evolve designs for sculpture based on their studies and produce a sculpture of a building in clay or paper. They look at the work of architects, designers and sculptors. Examples of art, craft and design:

Recreating landscapes In this unit, pupils explore landscape as the starting point for two- and three-dimensional work. They collect visual and other information by visiting a landscape and by studying the methods, approaches and intentions of artists and craftspeople who use the environment as inspiration. They manipulate the visual and tactile qualities of materials to convey mood and feeling about a landscape and construct textile-based work. Examples of art, craft and design:
Web Links The Imperial War Museum Picture Archive Mark Hardens Artchive http://www.artchive.com/ftp_site.htm
Objects and viewpoints In this unit, pupils explore familiar objects from different viewpoints as the starting point for their work. They develop their ideas by selecting and abstracting qualities of objects to use as the basis for a painting. They learn about the ideas and approaches of the cubists and their influences and make connections with other artists who worked from still life. Examples of art, craft and design:

Animating art In this unit, pupils explore the use of the moving image to communicate ideas about particular genres or styles of art. They analyse paintings, films, cartoons, illustrations, digital images, photographs and images from contemporary visual culture. They learn how to represent ideas and values using the moving image. They make connections between abstract expressionism, expressionism and pop art of the 1960s and contemporary moving images. Examples of art, craft and design:

Shared view In this unit, pupils explore and use natural and other materials to construct a temporary, site-specific work, which represents a shared view of their locality. They work in groups to make a collective response. They analyse examples of work from different times and cultures where ideas, beliefs and values are shared and communicated through art, craft and design. Examples of art, craft and design:

Life events In this unit, pupils explore ideas and feelings about an event in their own life as the starting point for image making. They analyse paintings, prints, photographs and digital images, including examples of photojournalism, to learn how visual qualities can be manipulated to evoke strong reactions and to represent ideas, beliefs and values. They make connections between eighteenth- and nineteenth-century paintings and contemporary visual culture. Examples of art, craft and design:
Web Links Diego Rivera 'The Raft of the Medusa' - Theodore Gericault http://www.artchive.com/artchive/G/gericault/raft_of_the_medusa.jpg.html
Change your style In this unit, pupils explore contemporary design and the ways in which artists take ideas from the work of others and synthesise these into new creative forms. They develop their own ideas and design and make woven textiles, a ceramic form, a three-dimensional construction or body adornment. They investigate the influence of art from different cultures and traditions on fashion and design. Examples of art, craft and design:
Web Links Arts and Crafts Movement http://www.burrows.com/found.html The Museum for Textiles http://www.museumfortextiles.on.ca/ Art Deco Architecture http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/1925/
Personal places, public spaces In this unit, pupils explore examples of public art in their local area. They research the different ways in which ideas, beliefs and values are represented and shared in their local area and in different times and cultures, including contemporary modern practice. They explore ways of representing their own ideas and then collaborate with others to make a mural or a three-dimensional form for a specific location. Examples of art, craft and design:

Visiting a museum, gallery or site This unit provides a structure for a visit to a museum, gallery or site, or any visit outside school. The visit would be most effectively used at the start or in the middle of a unit of work, so that work back at school can be based on the information and experience acquired. If it is used at the end of a unit, it can round off work in an enjoyable and exciting way, but to be effective, pupils must be able to see it as the culmination of what they have been learning. Where the unit fits in The visit can be incorporated into any unit in the key stage 3 scheme of work. It may be that the museum, gallery or site can contribute in the longer term to the scheme of work and a partnership can be established with them. Pupils could go on to use the resources of museums, galleries or sites in other areas of learning, especially those involving some sort of enquiry. These resources could include those delivered over the internet. Resources For practical work, resources include:
