Arts Award Silver - Mentoring - Painting Techniques

Destiny continues to mentor her fellow students as part of her Arts Award Silver.  She and her colleagues have already arranged and held their own exhibition and they continue to pursue their artistic interests independently.  Destiny is intent on becoming a photographer and attends a photography course after school on Fridays.  She will be working towards an exhibition of her photographs in the near future.

Destiny has been conducting a number of mentoring session in painting techniques towards her Arts Award Silver.  These include the painting with string and  cling-film techniques:

Water colour paint is applied by dripping or splattering onto wetted paper.

Clingfilm is crumpled and and pressed onto the paint.

After waiting for the paint to dry, the clingfilm is removed carefully to reveal wonderful patterns.

Dipping the string in pots of diluted poster paint and placing the strings inside a folded card or piece of paper.

After placing a heavy book on top of the folded card and pulling the string, identical images appear on each side of the card.

A selection of Art Work which is being made at the after School Art Club, 

alongside the Arts Award Bronze and Silver.

Collage and Drawing and Painting skills are very much in evidence here.

Some of the work is based on well-known artists' work, such as Georgie O'Keefe.

REVERSE APPLIQUE

A new group of students began work on their Bronze Award starting with reverse applique.  The pupils sketched their designs on paper, having first thought about their own personal objects.  The drawing below is of a student's school bag.

Hafid worked hard at his sewing techniques and made good progress towards achieving his design in felt.  There is still some work to do before his design is finished.  Hafid is in the process of cutting away the unwanted layers to reveal his chosen colours for each section.

Shola made her design using a template of a circle for each of the ears and also for the face of the mouse below.  She decided to cut away the colours in such a way that the face is striped and one edge of each stripe is loose, rather than a sewn edge.  This was her own invention.  She also added the bow.

The design was used to make the front cover for a cushion.

Olivia, who already achieved a Bronze Arts Award last term, decided to support and mentor Shola by designing and making another reverse applique piece and working alongside Shola to help her at every stage of the project.  Olivia was thinking of embellishing her design with embroidery as she did in her last project in reverse applique.

Bronze Award

Building on the success of the four students from last, year, I am now Arts Adviser for the Bronze Arts Award to another class of Year 9 students and also to the original group of students from the last year, who are now working towards their Silver Award.

The new Year 9 group is a mix of boys and girls this year.

We began drawing objects which have a particular meaning to the individual students.  The only ban is on the mobile phone, as they all look similar, so some have chosen a shoe or a trainer, a favourite logo, or a watch to draw.  They were all given an A4 sheet of coloured paper and a felt pen, though some chose to draw in pencil.

During the second week, another batch of Year 9s arrived, so they began drawing their special objects, while the first group began choosing their coloured pieces of felt, with which they will be making their reverse applique designs.

A huge bonus this year is that a student from last year has asked to help with delivering this course, and this will be of benefit in her Silver Award.

Destiny gave a short presentation on how the felt pieces were to be stacked up and sewn around the edges, and helped students to achieve this.  Meanwhile, I was offering suggestions of objects to draw to the new Year 9 pupils.

Some pupils had had experience of sewing, but most, as in the previous year did not.  We had a busy hour of sketching, threading needles and, finally, sewing the pieces together.  By the end of the hour, some students had already transferred their designs onto the top black felt layer using the white tailors' chalk.

As we were all clearing away, Destiny was reflecting on the experience, and said that she now appreciated how difficult, but, at the same time, how rewarding teaching children is.  I am hoping that she will continue to help with this course.

Silver Award

The four successful Arts Award Bronze students were photographed with their Art Teacher and myself in front of displays of their art work from last year.

We then had a short discussion regarding what they need to do next, as they have initiated and held their first Art Exhibition in Eccles Community Art Gallery, Eccles Town Centre, Greater Manchester.

Their new brief is to interview artists, so they have decided to work as a team to interview their Art Teachers and myself.  Another part of the Silver Award is to become a leader. Destiny is already making some progress in this, as she has demonstrated above.

I was able to show the four pupils how much support viewers of this blog have given them, by viewing each of my posts about this Arts Council funded project, and they were delighted to hear that viewings have reached over 1200 from all over the Northern hemisphere.

I am hoping that the pupils will post some comments about taking part in this project at some stage, so I look forward to that.

Our Achievements So Far

After the success of our four Arts Award Bronze candidates,  they will be receiving their certificates at a special school assembly towards the end of September.  The school is hoping to keep this event as a surprise from them.  The four successful pupils will also receive a small gift to commemorate their achievements.

Last term Olivia, Yoelle, Destiny and Fanni said that they would like to try the Arts Award Silver and we made some headway toward this new goal.

In my last post I wrote about the Art Exhibition that the pupils organised for themselves at Eccles Community Art Gallery, where they displayed work which they had created during that term.  Two of the pupils, Olivia and Yoelle attended the preview and I was privileged to be able to meet Yoelle's family.  I told her father how hard they had all worked during the past year, and that some of the tasks, for example, the wire work, had been really difficult to manage, but they had all created great results.

During the preview the pupils were interviewed about their various paintings and they responded intelligently to questions both from the interviewer and from members of the public, who took an interest in their work.  The pupils were a little shy at first of talking in public, but they soon became used to this new experience and began to enjoy their moments of fame.

New Projects

As the four pupils have now achieved their Arts Award Bronze, I was invited to undertake a new project with some pupils from the new year's Year 9 intake.  As yet, I have no idea how many pupils, I will be finding all this out on Tuesday.

I have some ideas already about what we will do, loosely based on last year's program.

I do know that this year I will be making better use of the Arts Award resources, including Art Box, which is an online tool for storing the candidates' photos of their art and also of written work, which may be accessed by the candidates, the Adviser (me in this case) and the Moderator.  Art Box, it is hoped, will make it easier for the candidates to take a more active role much earlier in the learning process to assemble and collate their own individual portfolios ready for marking and moderation.

Images of Oasis Academy Pupils' Work for Arts Award Bronze, 2015-16

A painting made using various colours of diluted acrylic paint, 

which has been dripped onto the paper, and moved around

to create the different patterns.

Using string soaked in diluted acrylic paint, which was 

placed inside folded paper, and compressed with a       

heavy object, the string was pulled out of the paper,     

                               to create these patterns.                     

                                                                               

After drawing the design, different grades of wire were

used to create the frame and then the filling for these

spectacles.

The above piece was made from five layers of felt which      

were sewn together around the edges, and the design           

applied in tailors' chalk,  Then the outline was stitched and    

the different coloured felt layers were cut away to create      

the image as shown.  This is called reverse applique.            

In the  example above, embroidery was also applied.            

       

 The pupils created their own beads from air-drying clay,

allowed them to dry and then painted the beads in different

colours, sometimes mixing the colours together on the bead.

One or two beads were threaded onto a silver bangle.

The pupils invented their own characters during their    

sessions on action figure illustration and some managed

to invent a story to accompany the illustrations.              

These are some display boards of the wire and applique 

felt work which went on show at Oasis Academy towards

the end of July, 2016.

Final Results - Arts Award Bronze - Out of the Ordinary

The Final Results Are In.

Last week I went down to Norwich to deliver the portfolios of the four remaining Arts Award Bronze candidates.

Getting the portfolios ready had its difficulties as there are numerous checks that need to be done, the various sections need to be in order, so that the Moderator can have a good idea of whether all parts of the Award have been completed satisfactorily.  Then there was the question of the demonstrations the pupils made, which were all on CD but which were in no particular order, as these had been taken from my phone.  I needed to put these in sequence on a USB stick, which also took some time. Eventually, everything came together and the portfolios were ready.

I travelled by coach to London and then from London to Norwich and back to Manchester again. Some might say this was over the top as the journey took approximately 14 hours in all, plus waiting time,  but I felt that, after all their hard work, I couldn't put these portfolios in strangers' hands.

Only a few days later I heard the news by e-mail that ALL FOUR HAVE PASSED!

For about five minutes, I couldn't speak.  I sent a few e-mails out to staff at Oasis Academy and Salford Community Leisure Ltd. who had helped with the organisation of the course and who had supported it all the way through.  I also posted the results on Facebook.

The Grants Team at Arts Council England were delighted to hear that the pupils want to do their Silver Arts Award also, which was mentioned in the previous post.

Here is a message from one of the students, Varni, in her native Hungarian language:

Sziasztok!

Én egy 14 éves lány vagyok, egy évvel ezelött kezdtem el a ‘Bronze Arts Award-ot’ csinálni (13 évesen). Azóta nagyon sokat tanultam a különbözö művészeti technikákról. 

Ebben tartozik a szobrászat amit drotokból készítettünk el, különböző festési technikák, mese figurákat rajzoltunk, textíliákat készítettünk, illetve az ékszerkészítésbe is bele kóstolhattunk, ahol saját karkötőinket készítettük el és mi magunk csináltuk a gyöngyöket hozzá.

Ezen kívül meglátogattunk művészeti gallériákat ahol a kiállításokat néztük meg.  Mindenek felett a tapasztalatam a ‘Bronze Arts Award-bá nagyon jó volt. Sok tapasztalat és egy bizonyítvány után, büszkén folytatom tovább a ‘Silver Arts Award-al’.

Varni

The above message roughly translated:

Hello!

I am a 14-year-old girl and a year ago I started a "Bronze Arts Award" (at age 13). Since then, I have learned a lot of different art techniques.

We made pencil sketches of objects. Then we made wire sculptures. Various painting techniques were tried. I've made some  illustrations of super heroes, and I also worked with  fabrics. Then we made our own beads and jewelry.

In addition, we went to an art gallery, where we looked at paintings.

The experience of the "Bronze Art Award was very good. After learning these techniques, I am proud to continue this certificate" Silver Arts Award ".
