Level 2 Course:
Revise and build on the skills learned in Level 1 course to deepen knowledge and exploration of the elements of Art. This course is also open and accessible to beginners and students who have not completed Level 1.
Week 1: ‘Dive Into Colour’ inspired by Abstract Art. We will dive deeper into colour theory and tertiary colours, practicing mixing new colours and learning how colour can represent or create different moods and emotions in a painting. The children will then use this knowledge to express their mood through their colour palette and Abstract painting.
Week 2: ‘Colour Buddies’ inspired by great still life artists. We will explore our colour theory knowledge further and learn about complementary colours and how they can impact our artwork. We will focus on scale and compostion to create a still life painting, inspired by great still life artists who also focus on colour for impact.
Week 3: ‘What a View!’ inspired by great landscape artists. In this lesson we will delve into different methods to create perspective and look at how great artists use these in the landscape art. The children will then put these skills into action by painting their favourite landscape view!
Weeks 4 and 5: ‘My Style’ inspired by all of our current learning. During these 2 weeks, children will create their final masterpiece on canvas and will choose which subject they would like to focus on, based on our learning throughout the course. They will first focus on sketching the composition of their masterpiece, being introduced to the grid drawing method and considering perspective, size and proportion. They will then apply their advanced colour theory knowledge to create an image in their own unique style. Collage mixed media may also be added to create texture.
Week 6: Group Exhibition of young artists’ masterpieces. It’s a real celebration where they feel a great sense of achievement and showcase their final masterpiece to parents!
