Description

This teacher-led unit introduces key principles and four assessment objectives through various drawing activities in the studio and on-site. Pupils will explore diverse sources, inspired by themes from a museum or site visit.

This unit is useful for pupils as they move into GCSE or alternative courses, where they will encounter more complex and diverse ideas. Pupils will become more independent in their practice, chosing themes and processes inspired by their own interests and strengths. This unit encourages students to make their own creative decisions, find and create their resources. This empowers the students to judge critically both the quality and relevence of their chosen materials.

  1. Selecting inspirational visual source material
  2. Recording from observation and first-hand sources
