TRANSCRIPT
GLYNWOOD ART
Glynwood Art Scheme
This scheme is not a definitive list of artists, and movements, that we will cover across the years, and the ideas in it are adaptable and
changeable.
If you have different ideas about how to deliver the art within your year group, please feel free to give it a go. All that I would ask is that
you cover the necessary skills and steps, and stick to the given artist and art form, unless we agree together to change them. This is so I
can ensure we have a good range of artists and themes covered across the years. Any extra art/artists you do or mention is obviously very
welcome!
Please also write any ideas, corrections or thoughts on post-it notes and add to the scheme, so I can collect these at the end of Summer, to
assess how it is working, and consider any changes that may need to be made.
Many thanks for taking all of this on board,
JE, March 2020

ARTISTS AND LESSON IDEAS:
Introduce Alaa Awad, and look at his website. Show
his drawings and how he has used these to develop
his paintings and murals. Ask questions like those
above.
Layout long sheet of old wallpaper or lining paper for
all children to work on together using a rage of media
to create whole class cityscape, based on Newcastle
and/ or Gateshead. (Photograph of whole children
sketching/ painting a cityscape on large paper on ‘Paul
Carney’ website.)
Use sketchbooks to draw with pencil and waterproof
fine liners (so they don’t run when paint is applied
afterwards) to create similar effect to Caulfield.
Show how she uses pens quite loosely when drawing.
Show how blocks of colour, and texture are used in
her work. Children plan their painting, using iconic
images either of London or Newcastle.
Go through colour mixing and painting skills above,
using watercolour paints, or inks, and apply colour to
pen sketches. Parts may need going over again with
fineliner once the paint is dry. Project can be done
as large classroom display or individually or in groups.
Could also show Claude Monet’s series of paintings on
the Houses of Parliament, and Michael Tompsett’s
cityscapes of London, and compare.
Begin by reading first story in the book ‘Vincent’s
Starry Night and Other Stories’ about Lion Man
Discuss the sculpture with peers. How was he made?
What is he made out of? Why was it made? What
was it used for? etc. Generate questions and
encourage children’s curiosity.
Children create page in sketchbooks, to document
their ideas about how to make own sculpture.
Use primary colours to mix different browns. Learn
the difference between a tint, shade and tone when
painting and how to create these.
Refer to tint, shade, tone explanation in Resources
file and stick in.
Mix different colours and document these in
sketchbooks.
Use clay to create a sculpture in the style of the
'Lion Man', discussing what clay is and where it
comes from.
Continue by studying cave paintings, including
Lascaux, Altamira in France and use hands to make
positive and negative prints.
Also look at KAPOW/ Year 3/ Prehistoric Art for
further ideas.
Discuss with children how they feel about their art.
Refer to them as artists! Encourage them to explain
what has worked well, what they might change, how
they were influenced. Discuss the art/ artist they
have learnt about, Devote time to showing all work in
a ‘gallery’ – this could just be on the floor in class.
Show ‘Luncheon at the Boating Party’ by Renoir and
compare with Awad mural on Justice.
Look and compare how the figures are presented,
their stance, the colours in the paintings, the moods
of the paintings and the people, and how brush
strokes have been used to create effects. Look at
the figure drawing, considering the proportions.
Discuss whether the paintings are accurate or
realistic, and if that is important. Discuss
perspective in the paintings.
Remind children of the figure drawing skills they
learnt in Y2, while studying India.
Look at drawings of Alaa Awad online, showing how
he uses a variety of drawing techniques to create
effect.
Children use sketchbooks and mannequins to practise
figure drawing, considering necessary skills to
produce effective drawings. Begin by looking at own
bodies, then discuss proportions. Remind children how
legs and arms have joints and how we should draw
those as separate parts. Use mannequins to reinforce
this. Get children to trace body drawings and
photographs, to help their understanding, and to
boost confidence. Refer also to drawing skills above.

ARTISTS AND LESSON IDEAS:
Introduce ‘Goggle head’ by Elisabeth Frink and head
of ‘David’ by Michelangelo. Ask questions like those
above.
ARTISTS AND LESSON IDEAS:
Introduce small section of one of the paintings of
Malham. Gradually reveal. Ask questions like those
above. Introduce the artists and compare.
ARTISTS AND LESSON IDEAS:
PORTRAITS
Introduce the paintings by Hans Holbein and Grayson
Perry, and discuss the artists. Ask questions like
those above. Compare the two images. Discuss how
the monarch is represented.
Research more sculpted face and heads in art – how
they vary, and what are they made from.
Encourage sketches and designs of faces in
sketchbooks. Remind children of emotion and what
mood they want their sculptures to have.
If relating to Anglo Saxons and Vikings they might
depict terror, anger or fighting. Study how features
change under these emotions. Practise drawing
emotions on faces in sketchbooks.
Design own ornate patterns, taking influence from
Anglo Saxon and Viking jewellery and dress.
Cram tight some small plastic bags with soft material
or shredded paper to create an oval shape to support
the clay on.
Knead the clay to soften it and remove air bubbles.
Roll out and create thick slab of clay to cover oval
shape. Encourage children to build up parts of the
face bit by bit. See eyes, nose, lips as separate
sections. Encourage gentle carving away of below
cheek bones, eye sockets, area on sides of nose, etc
How can we make one look like a male one female
without considering hair? What are the differences?
Children make faces applying nose, lips, eyelids
separately. Encourage children to make it their own
by applying Anglo Saxon/Viking headdress, jewellery
or helmet and encourage ornate pattern-making using
clay tools.
Discuss the differences – light, colour, style,
perspective, preference, materials used, mood
Discuss using colour blocking, washes and thickening
paint to create textures. Children use sketchbooks to
try this out. Give them watercolours, mixed paints
and powder paints to experiment with.
Use one hue of blue and add grey or black to it
(monochromatic colour) and create atmosphere and
light effects of the sky. Refer to colour explanation
in Resources file:
Mention briefly Opie, Sherman, Yasumasa and Warhol
portrait work for comparison.
Discuss instagram, fake images, photoshop, how
people are presented in the media.
Collect information on Henry VIII, and sketch ideas
as to how he might be represented in modern day,
referring to Grayson’s image. Think about how Henry
VIII might have used social media, where he might
have eaten, what sports he might have been into,
what language he would have used, etc. Use pencils,
chalks, charcoal.

Discuss with children how they feel about their art.
Refer to them as artists! Encourage them to explain
what has worked well, what they might change, how
they were influenced. Discuss the art/ artist they
have learnt about, Devote time to showing all work in
a ‘gallery’ – this could just be on the floor in class.
Assess children’s understanding of the project
through discussion and observations of their methods,
processes and completed work.
Look at the sketchbooks of Turner in northern
England.
Show movement through paint in the form of
waterfalls and rivers, using wet and dry painting.
Study colour, looking at a colour wheel.
Look at Katherine Holmes paintings where blue and
orange are used as complementary colours to great
effect.
In colour theory complementary colours appear
opposite each other on colour models such as the
colour wheel. The colour compliment of each primary
colour (primaries are red, yellow and blue) can be
obtained by mixing the two other primary colours
together. So the complementary of red is green (a
mix of yellow and blue); the complementary of blue
is orange (a mix of red and yellow); and the
complementary of yellow is violet (a mix of red and
blue).
Children paint or use pastels to create own
landscape image.

KAPOW – Year 6/ArtandDesignSkills/ Sketchbooks
Encourage children to sketch and practise
perspective. Show children how to identify where the
‘vanishing point’ will be in their drawings. Draw lines
to the point to enable children to draw accurate
proportions of repeated images, eg trees, houses.
Reinforce the understanding that vertical lines on
buildings/ tree trunks need to remain vertical.
Consider a modern setting, situation or issue where
children can use their art to send a message.
Children create an image influenced by Moore or
Dunbar. Include perspective, aim to show a clear
direction of light, and incorporate shadow.
Examples could be portraying homelessness, showing
immigrants/lower paid workers working on the land,
women’s role in society now or in the past, or
considering a latest story in the news.
Discuss with children how they feel about their art.
Refer to them as artists! Encourage them to explain
what has worked well, what they might change, how
they were influenced. Discuss the art/ artist they
