You will also be able to understand the factors influencing designers and design practice by studying designers related to your practical theme.

RALPH GOINGS CRITICAL WORK
This week, S3 will learn background information about artist Ralph Goings. On reading the PowerPoint, pupils will discover facts about Ralph Goings and information relating to his studio work: how he approached work as an artist and the technology influences on his studio practice. The supported PowerPoint audio will help to guide pupils through his fascinating life and work. Once pupils absorb all the information in the PowerPoint, they should complete the QUIZ posted on their Teams page.

Week Beginning 22nd February
Trainer Design Project
This week, S3 are going to have the exciting opportunity to learn about trainer design as well as designing their own trainer.
Pupils will need to look at the lesson through PowerPoint. Make sure the PowerPoint is in SLIDESHOW when viewing it as there is a voice over that would be helpful for pupils to listen to.
This assignment will involve pupils learning and understanding:
- What designers need to consider when making a product.
- How to look at and understand what market research is for within the design process.
- Considering design themes.
- Creating their own trainer design.
THS Art & Design Team can’t wait to see your designs.

Brilliant observations of Still Life objects! Well done.
Week Beginning 25th January
STILL LIFE TASK
This week in Art & Design, S3 will only be assigned one project as it’s a large project with a lot of tasks to complete. No additional homework will be set this week. Pupils are asked to carefully read the Still Life PowerPoint, which includes 4 lessons. Pupils aren’t expected to do the extension task.
Lesson 1 (Investigation)
Pupils will learn about the work of other artists. Further, pupils will develop their observational skills: their use of line and shape.
For lesson 1, pupils will concentrate on ellipses and cylinders. If a pupil does not have a particular object to draw from, pupils could work from a photograph of an object. Therefore, this project may require some online research which pupils should ask for permission for by a parent or guardian.
Lesson 2 (Investigation)
Pupils will construct a cylinder and add tone to create form.
Lesson 3 (Development)
Throughout the Investigation stage, pupils should have learnt the basic principles and approaches to creating ellipses and cylinders. Using the processes given, pupils are asked to capture one of the objects from the images on the PowerPoint.
Lesson 4 (Outcome)
Using prior knowledge, pupils are now asked to complete a full Still Life composition – pupils should only select and approach one composition from the images provided on the PowerPoint. Once complete, pupils are asked to evaluate their work, on the back of their composition.
The Art & Design Department look forward to seeing their work and giving feedback!

Assignments are available on Teams and pupils should return their work by the set deadline.
SAUL BASS POSTER GRAPHIC DESIGN
This week in Art & Design, S3 will take inspiration from American designer Saul Bass and create their own poster for a film or a TV programme of their choice. Pupils are asked to carefully read the Saul Bass Poster Design PowerPoint. The poster should contain an eye-catching title and include simple imagery. The poster should have a limited colour scheme – pupils can use whatever materials available to them (perhaps a drawing, coloured design or collage).
In addition to this, pupils are asked to complete a tonal study for their homework.
The Art & Design Department look forward to seeing their work and giving feedback!
