Lesson 1 / Talk about continuous line and start drawing continuous line portraits.
Very slowly and detailed. / Discussion about line and the importance in art.
Introduction to other artists and in depth discussion on Picasso.
Examples of line and wire used in art as 2d/3d
Examples of other students work on final pieces: wire portraits and tight portraits. / Mixed paper for drawing. A4, A3, white, coloured.
Fine line pens.
Mirrors. / Revision on the visual element line.
Bring in wire coat hangers and tights.
Lesson 2 / Continue on continuous line portraits being very tight and meticulous. / Show examples of continuous line portraits especially by Picasso. / Mixed paper for drawing. A4, A3, white, coloured.
Fine line pens.
Mirrors. / Revision on the visual element line. How artists use it today.
Bring in wire coat hangers and tights.
Lesson 3 / Start loosening up now and continue with continuous line, using opposite hand, without looking etc. / Show examples of Artists line work:
Explain how they produced the marks and how they were inspired.
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, under the table, two hands not looking at same time / Artist: Claude Heath
Mixed paper for drawing. A4, A3, white, coloured.

Mirrors. / Revision on the visual element line. How artists use it today.
Bring in wire coat hangers and tights.

Lesson 4 / Continue with these expressive ideas develop ideas, drawing each other. Mark making, using fine line pens / Revision of work so far. Group discussion. / Mixed paper for drawing. A4, A3, white, coloured.
Fine line pens.
Mirrors. / Bring in wire coat hangers and tights.
Lesson 5 / 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 / Coloured pens/pencils.
Fine line pens. / Bring in wire coat hangers and tights.
Lesson 6 / 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 big screen comparing to current artists and Picasso’s work / Coloured pens/pencils.
Fine line pens. / Bring in wire coat hangers and tights.

Lesson 7 / 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. / Coloured pens/pencils.
Fine line pens. / Bring in wire coat hangers and tights.
Revision on line and what they have learned, techniques, artist’s and concepts.
Lesson 8 / 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. / Coloured pens/pencils.
Fine line pens.
Week/Lesson / Activity / Teaching / Learning Approaches / Resources / Homework / Assessment
Lesson 9 / Line drawing and trace with wire coat hanger, attach it to wooden base. / Work in pairs (or three’s)
Draw single continuous line of partner from the side. Emphasising features. Slightly caricatured/abstract.
Draw second single continuous line from the front emphasising the ears and shape of the head, don’t forget the neck
Copy 2 lines with 2 coat hangers (hangers might have to be trimmed below twist)
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 / Picasso continuous line drawings of ‘camel, owl, horse, sausage dog’ etc.
Fine line pens.
Marker pens
Paper
Wooden bases: 1 for each pupil roughly 7x7x3 cm.
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.
Lesson 10 / Cover wire sculpture with tights
Continue with colouring design while waiting for sculpture to dry. / 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.
Stretch and tie at bottom of wooden base.
Staple tight to bottom and trim excess
Leave space on bottom for name.
Paint 1st coat onto sculpture.
Name to be in bold and not to be painted over!!
Sculpture will take around 3 – 4 coats depending on thickness of PVA and will take day or so to dry. / Tights
White paint and PVA mixture 2/3pva and 1/3 paint.
Coloured pens/pencils
Lesson 11 / Same as above
Week/Lesson / Activity / Teaching / Learning Approaches / Resources / Homework / Assessment
Lesson 12 / Same as above
Lesson 14 / Same as above / Choose an interesting corner of your bedroom and make a drawing of all the things you see.
Lesson 15 / Photograph sculptures.
Transfer design on the 3D Sculpture / Pupils will learn the importance of documenting their work with digital photography before moving onto next stage.
Show photographs of sculptures on big screen -motivation to move on to next stage.
Refer to Picasso and previous students work again. / Digital camera.
Acrylic paint or other medium except cheap school poster paint.
Lesson 16- 20 / Finish off painting sculptures. / Paint sculptures with acrylic paint (maybe use another medium to colour - felt pens?) / Digital camera.
Acrylic paint or other medium except cheap school poster paint. / Line assessment on what they have learned and achieved with this scheme of work.
