Two Units of Work originally focused on Y7 Students. These units of work have been developed by me over the course of 20 years as a teacher. They consist of 36 weeks’ worth of tasks. Unit 1: Benchmarking Test Unit 1 is a benchmarking test in which students are taught a range of skills. They are asked to produce a still life response based on a set of sweets. This unit serves as a vehicle to teach students basic techniques in observational drawing, including shape, form, detail, pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour, and pen and ink. Unit 1 also incorporates a written evaluation, where students are asked to analyse a piece of artist’s work and break it down into core areas. This unit is an excellent benchmarking tool that provides a full set of assessed criteria to help an art department guide the differentiation of future work. Put simply at the end staff should have a full break down of students abilities in the subject. Included in the Pack: Two full schemes of work covering the full academic year, with medium-term planning sheets for both Unit 1 and Unit 2, including: Stage-by-stage outlines Aims, objectives, and national curriculum references Breakdown of task differentiation General resources list Unit 1: Benchmarking Example photos of still life sweets, differentiated by level Artwork evaluation PowerPoint presentations for teacher use, including discussion breakdowns Printable handouts for all tasks (low, mid, and high ability levels) Handouts with tips and tricks for completing each of the four processes Standardised examples of final still life pieces for staff reference Support handout on annotation Total: 15 separate files (Word, PDF, and PowerPoint formats) Unit 2: Pop Art Portraiture Project (Based on Roy Lichtenstein).
