Year 1BKM and 1KMT: Favourite Things

For next lesson gather images of your favourite things... This can be from the internet, from catalogues from photographs or books, just bring in a selection of images to work from...

My examples...

Year 1KMT Tom Phillips Homework

Reflect upon the work and the discussion we had during last lesson... Introduce the work of Tom Phillips, comment on his inspiration, his technique and the way in which he created his book 'A Humument'... What interests me most is your own response to his work. Make notes on what you think about the techniques we used for the transcription, your choice of colour and the mood... This should only take you 20 minutes, please don't spend any more time on it. Could you type these notes and bring them in next lesson...

Any problems see me, so impressed with your transcription page. Your photographs are being photocopied and will be ready for you to collect before next lesson if you need them.

Year 1BKM Tom Phillips Homework

Gather 3 Tom Phillips images for your books to complete your research page started in the lesson. I would prefer it if you found your own images using the Tom Phillips Humument page or by searching Google images... Yo do not need to stick these in to your book just yet, make sure they are ready to cut out...

Any problems see me...

Year 3 Day 4 P5/6

Picasso's mythical minotaur etchings and prints...

I would like you make rough notes for homework on the image above. The print that we worked on today in class depicts a narrative scene featuring several characters... What I would like to know is who are the characters? What are they doing? What has just happened? What is about to happen? Do they know each other? What is the mood of the image?

This is information that you can either find out via the internet or books if you like and use it to inspire the written piece you will make to accompany your transcription. This writing can be completely fictional and from your imagination, but should be a personal response to the image. This cycle I would like you to make notes that we will share as a group during the lesson. This need not be lengthy, just familiarise yourself with the image and the composition...

Year 4 Homework for Friday

Leonardo Da Vinci: The Last Supper


Produce a research page based on this image using the photographic transcriptions we looked at during the lesson. I am not going to upload the other examples for you as I want you to make the decision as to which images you choose for your page. If you google 'The Last Supper' it will throw up lots of images inspired by the above painting... Choose about 3 for your book and don't forget to leave space at the bottom of your page for the photographic transcription we staged during the lesson... It is a treat!

Year 1BKM and Year 1KMT

Gather photographs of yourselves, friends and family, both old and new, for next lesson. I appreciate that some of these photos may be precious so if you can scan the originals or I can take a photocopy for you so you can keep the sentimental ones at home! Bringing them in an envelope would be a real help too. I look forward to seeing them...
Here are a couple of mine!

Year 3 info for new students

One of the best and simplest websites I found to gather research and information about David Hockney is http://www.hockneypictures.com/. If you have a little look around the website you can click 'WORKS' and then 'PHOTOS' followed by 'PHOTO MONTAGE' this then gives you information specifically about his photography. There is more general information about him under the 'ABOUT' tab.

If you cut your folded page on the crease you then have two small sides if you need them both to write about and respond to his work. Discuss the composition, the way the images have been pieced together and the effect this has on the overall image. On the next full page, which will be partly covered by the little half page you can print and stick the images below, re size them in Word or Publisher and pop them in your books. Hopefully you will have a little more of an idea about the work we have been doing as a year group.

If you have any problems come and see me or use the 'comment' tool...
