Objects and viewpoints
2 (QCA Unit 8a)
Module 8a in the National
Curriculum Scheme of Work focusses
on Objects and Viewpoints and in this case study
was done by Year
8 pupils
at Nunnery Wood High School, Worcester with
their Art teacher Paul
Long.
This project involves pupils in
the study
of work by the Cubist painters.
Some
consideration was given to studying
the
ways in which still life groups
seen from a
number of different viewpoints
are
combined in one composition.
Pupils began by drawing from
observation, interpreting the still
life
group initially as a line drawing
- but
picking out reflections and tonal
variations as shapes. Two studies
were
produced from two different viewpoints
of
the same still life group
