LESSON TWO: Henry Moore Year Level: AusVELS: Level 5/6.

Domain: Dimension: The Arts Creating and Making

Standards:

At Level 6, students independently and collaboratively experiment with and apply a range of skills, techniques and processes using a range of media, materials, equipment and technologies to plan, develop, refine, make and present arts works. They investigate a range of sources to generate ideas and manipulate arts elements, principles and/or conventions in a range of arts disciplines and forms as they explore the potential of ideas. In their arts works, they communicate ideas and understandings about themselves and others, incorporating influences from their own and other cultures and times. They evaluate the effectiveness of their arts works and make changes to realise intended aims. They consider purpose and suitability when they plan and prepare arts works for presentation to a variety of audiences.

Learning Focus: The students will review their knowledge of art vocabulary, before creating their own version of the Henry Moore Sculpture Mother and Child (1932), using clay as a medium. INTRODUCTION: As a class, review the structure and function of the Feldmans Model of Art Criticism, creating a Class Criticism of the Henry Moore Sculpture, Mother and Child (1932) Figure 1: Henry Moore Hudson, M.

The students will then use their time to create the sculpture using clay. The students will create a photo-journal of their work, stopping periodically to take a photo of their work *The students will need to take care when using the cameras, so they dont smudge the lenses. ASSESSMENT The photo-journal the students are keeping will become an in-action assessment for their work. Later, a self-assessment will be completed about challenges and triumphs in their work.
