Art Practice (unit of work).
My unit of work in relation to Art Practice, consists of two lesson plans in which the students are Creating and Making pieces of artwork which show emotion through facial features and facial expressions based on the work of Ron Mueck. It is aimed at students in level 4 (Grades 5/6).
Lesson 1
Throughout this unit, children will be able to develop an understanding of the features of their own individual faces and paying attention to the finer details.
Children will look closely into facial expressions and be able draw faces which depict particular emotions.Children will also be able to form their own interpretation of a face portraying a particular emotion using either grey led pencil or charcoal.

The photo below is an example of the closed eyes drawing activity where you use your non-preffered hand to draw the features of your face without taking the texta off the paper, while the other hand is used to move around your facial features to help you draw it. The activity is repeated three times on top of each other to see how different or similar your drawings are.
The photo below is an extension activity of the one above. Students are given a piece of wire around 1 metre long and are to bend the wire to create a 3D face. However, you are not allowed to cut the wire at all so it needs to be a continuous line bent into the shapes of a face.
Lesson 2
Children will be able to follow a recipe to create colour-free play dough. They will be introduced to terra-cotta clay and will be able to explain how it works, how to set it and how to re-use it. Finally children will be able to form their own interpretation of a face portraying a particular emotion using the terra-cotta clay and/or the play dough.
