Google Doodle Week 8- Idea experimentation

LESSON 1

STARTER- 10 mins
Presentation prep. Prepare your book to present to the group- stick in any loose work.

TASK - Presentations 20 mins

In small groups you will present your work based on your chosen artist- word clouds, moodboards, analysis and interpretations of their work. Talk for a few minutes about what you’ve done and how it relates to your chosen artist.


TASK – Target setting 25 mins
Swap books within your group and give feedback about which assessment criteria has been met:

P1 compare ideas and concepts in art and design work
P2 investigate ideas generating techniques
P3 generate and refine ideas in response to given briefs
P4 communicate and present ideas and outcomes to different audiences.

M1 use the results of purposeful research and investigation to inform own ideas and concepts, demonstrating coherent direction in originating and developing ideas
M2 demonstrate a considered approach to producing purposeful ideas and solutions in response to briefs, presenting work coherently and effectively

D1 independently analyse and interpret research to generate personal ideas and concepts, applying sophisticated thinking in generating, modifying and synthesising original ideas
D2 demonstrate an individual and perceptive approach to producing and communicating innovative and engaging work, using sophisticated presentation methods

Plenary – 10 mins
Set 3 smart targets to meet assessment criteria to achieve your best grade.

LESSON 2

STARTER- 10 mins
Look at your initial research and write down 3 words that characterize the work of your artist. Think about the formal elements and the checklist hand out.  Stick your post-it notes on the board to refer to later in the lesson.

TASK – Initial ideas ‘blind’ 20 mins
Using the ‘Visual Arts’ idea sheets complete a minimum of 3 initial ideas considering the composition of your imagery and font style, BUT NOT USING ANY inspiration – just your memory of your artists work.
Annotate each idea to explain your thoughts, what materials/techniques you would use and choice of colour.

Extension task –
Make a word cloud – using a wide range of words to describe your artist and their work, maybe use phrases from the internet. 


TASK – review of work so far 5 mins

Group exhibition on tasks so far – with learners walking round room to view each others work, taking back your post-its as you go.  Now open your books back at the artists work, have you met your word targets? What can you now add to your post-it?

TASK – refine and move onto extension 20 mins
Use any feedback to complete work – using new words to guide your final design

Plenary 10 mins
How did the first part of the lesson compare to last?  Did you feel more comfortable completing work looking at the artist inspiration?  Is there any reason/time what not looking at the inspiration could help our work?

TASK - Experiment plan H/W set

Identify materials needed for experimentation next lesson. Will you need assistance with a technique, what techniques could you take from this session and use?

LESSON 3&4

Starter - 10 mins
Complete your project checklist filling in which tasks have been completed and identifying those to be completed. This is preparation for the interim assessment next week.

TASK - Personal lesson plan 10 mins
Complete your personal lesson plan. Identify ways of being original and innovative to meet distinction criteria:

P2 investigate ideas generating techniques,
M2 demonstrate a considered approach to producing purposeful ideas and solutions in response to briefs, presenting work coherently and effectively.
D2 demonstrate an individual and perceptive approach to producing and communicating innovative and engaging work, using sophisticated presentation methods.

TASK – Experimentation 40 mins
Design experimentation inspired by your chosen artist using the materials and techniques identified last lesson.

TASK - Group feedback 15 mins

What’s going well? Are your chosen materials and techniques proving effective? Group exhibition of work so far. You’ll give and receive feedback to help identify ways of making improvements.

TASK – Experimentation continuation 35 mins
Continue to work on your design experiments taking into account the feedback you’ve received.      

Tidy away- 10 mins
All materials washed and returned, table tops and floors cleared

Plenary 10 mins
Review experimentation. Have you been original and innovative? Have you met the distinction criteria? How can you improve? Complete your personal lesson plan.

HOMEWORK SET 2 hour
