QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to compare ideas, methods and approaches in their own and others' work and say what they think and feel about them

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Ask the children to compare and comment on a range of examples of still-life painting. Ask them to look at:
    • the subject matter, eg the group of objects
    • the contrasts that artists used in the work, eg colour, light and dark
    • the viewpoints, eg a whole arrangement shown or parts of objects
    • the painting techniques, eg flat or varied areas of colour, textured or plain surfaces, painting that shows brushstrokes or conceals them
    • the strengths and difficulties of working in the different media
    • the ways in which three-dimensional objects can be represented in two dimensions
  • Ask the children to compare these paintings with their own work.
  • compare and comment on the still-life paintings of others and make comparisons with their own work

Points to note

  • Talk with children about how we make choices to 'realise' our intentions. Encourage children to talk about their own and others' work. Use key words and phrases and help children build up their vocabulary.
