I use a viewfinder to help me with close observation work. I annotate my sketches to explain my ideas. I explore ideas collect visual other information for my pieces. I can find sources to inform me so that I can adapt styles, use the work of others to help interpret my own ideas explore possibilities. I practice styles techniques work on evolving an idea. I mix colours use tints tones. I use watercolour paints to make washes for backgrounds before adding details. -My cutting skills are precise. -I can coil overlap with confidence imagination. -I experiment with a limited colour palette for dynamic effects. -I can make paper coils lay them out to create I can make nets of shapes to construct recognisable forms.

I comment on similarities differences between my own pieces other people s. I can adapt improve. I can explain my views clearly how a piece affects me. I use grades of pencil at angles to show tones. I can use hatching cross hatching to show tone texture. I explore comics in the 20 th 21 st century to see how styles are used. I can produce a number of techniques using thick thin brushes to show shape, texture, pattern line. I make notes in my sketchbook of how artists have used materials techniques to achieve a variety of effects. I can use tessellation other patterns in collage work. I can use cutting to repeat pattern. I look at montage, mosaic collage from cultures. I am inspired by pottery from cultures eras use my skills to achieve the results. My 3D work has a well thought out purpose. I add detail to show feeling expression or movement. ( e.g. wrinkled faces, sadness etc ) I compare the methods skills of designers when printing. I explore cultures times how methods materials have evolved. eyes. I can quilt using padding gathering... I can colour fabric add patterning. I add texture depth in textiles by sewing, knitting gathering. I am aware of the work from other times cultures am inspired to achieve my aim. access the work of a variety of artists crafts people. I use digital photography to capture textures, colours, lines, tones, shades inspiration from the natural manmade world.

I use shading to add interesting effects to my drawings, using grades I explore ideas collect visual other information to help develop my pieces keep these in my sketchbook. I build on my ideas evolve them trying techniques. I can choose the most appropriate materials or style to interpret my ideas. I use my sketchbook to; collect information visual notes, to make quick thumbnail sketches as I evolve ideas, to experiment, to practice skills work on components of a piece I need to work on such as body parts or features for a portrait to compare ideas choose the most effective. I can create colours by mixing to represent images I have observed in the natural manmade world. I experiment with colours I experiment with techniques that use contrasting textures, colours or patterns. E.g. rough/smooth, light/dark, plain/patterned. I have used ceramic mosaic I use a variety of tools techniques to sculpt clay, papier- mache other mouldable I can surface carve to create shape texture. My printing uses a number of colours built up in sequence. I make precise repeating patterns by creating accurate printing blocks I am confident can use crossstitch, backstitch, appliqué, embroidery, plaiting finger knitting. I take digital photos enhance manipulate them using a software programme. I use the internet for research.

I have studied other artists drawings have experimented with some of these styles. to create a mood. techniques. My work reflects a purpose which I can explain. I explore pop-up books origami. stencils. I keep detailed notes to remind inform me. I make comments on the ideas, methods approaches used in my own others work, relating these to the context in which the work was made. I adapt refine my work to reflect the purpose meaning of each piece. I study the works of artists, designers craft makers in depth. I can recognise their style underst that some artists can be grouped in movements or broke away from the norm of the day that there were influences such as social historical or cultural that inspired their work. I can explain movements what influenced a particular artist respond to what I see explaining my views. I use colour shape to reflect feelings moods. I sketch lightly then paint to combine lines with colour to produce images that convey a purpose. My collage is based on observational drawings. My collage reflects a real purpose I write about my intentions results. I combine visual qualities. I am inspired by a variety of artists designers. I add paper curlings or other objects to embellish a surface. I use carving techniques to reflect images I have observed in the natural world. My printing replicates patterns I have observed are based on my observational drawings. I have studied printmaking from other cultures or times. I combine some of the techniques I know to create hangings. My ideas are inspired by tapestries, artefacts hangings throughout history the world. My pieces communicate a meaning, idea, thought, feeling or emotion this is explained in a short piece of writing to accompany each piece of artwork or technique.

I keep these in a sketchbook use this to develop my pieces with a clear purpose in mind. I experiment with ideas adapt. I study aspects of artists, designers craft makers compare contrast style intention. I recognise that some artists such as Turner Picasso experimented with many styles mediums evolved their ideas techniques I use this to inspire my own pieces. My painting techniques are well developed confident. I am developing a style of my own. My paintings convey a purpose. Some of my pieces include texture through paint mix or brush technique. I choose the most appropriate materials for collage pieces. My collages have a definite theme that is communicated to the viewer. I can modify change materials as my ideas evolve. My portraits have a life like quality as I choose apply appropriate techniques. My models on a range of scales communicate my observations from the real or natural world. I can print onto fabrics, papers other I use drawings designs to bring fine detail into my pieces. I build up colours in my prints. My textile techniques are precise help me to convey the purpose of my pieces. I have developed a preference for the textile techniques I prefer am developing a range of pieces in a particular style, I create digital images with some animation or video or sound to communicate my ideas. I look at the pieces I have produced, that of others, discussing whether it meets the purpose. I keep notes in my sketchbook about my methods of

I analyse comment on ideas, methods approaches used in my own others pieces, relating these to its content. I adapt refine my pieces to reflect my own view of its purpose meaning. My drawings communicate movement. My drawings of still life include shadows reflections. My research includes historical studies of technical drawings, such as ancient architecture I use this to help me interpret ideas in ways. My paintings are based on observations can convey realism or an impression of what I observe. I combine colours create tints, tones, shapes in any combination. I write about the visual qualities of my work in my sketchbook.. My collage has a dynamic effect due to its colour choices, pattern, lines, tones, shapes in any combination. I write about the visual qualities of my pieces in my sketchbook. My 3D pieces reflect an intention that is sometimes obvious or can be open to interpretation of the viewer. My 3D pieces contain both visual qualities. I choose from all of the techniques from previous levels to embellish my pieces, as appropriate My printing combines a range of elements to reflect a purpose. My printing is based on a theme from other cultures. My prints have a starting point from a designer in history. My textile pieces often combine visual elements, fit for its purpose. My pieces are sometimes based on historical or cultural observations. experimenting the methods of others for future reference. My pieces combine visual qualities to communicate an intention or purpose.
