This unit of work also involves a considerable amount of design and some careful preparation. Students' homework this week is to work on the pre-planning for this unit. Students need to produce a design which has layers, a main focus and a secondary focus. They have a list of the colours available. On Monday students viewed the tutorial by illustrator Barbara Reid and we discussed the necessary elements for a successful design. These pictures will be done over a period of a month as it works best with only two students working in the art area with the Plasticine and tools at one time. I have already sent quite a few students back to revisit their designs so that they can achieve at their best with this medium. Below are two models of preliminary plans:
