Task

‘Becoming An Artist’ **Your artistic mission for this unit is to create a series of artwork based on a theme using pencil, paint and clay. Along the way you will be using some amazing technologies to document your artistic process and how you achieved your goal of becoming an artist. **

**Firstly, as a class you will need to decide on a theme. This theme needs to be one that everyone agrees on and can relate too. Your teacher might be able to help you on some ideas! Here are some of our ideas: ** **- Families ** **- Animals ** **- Countries ** **- Food **

**Now it’s time to start thinking like an artist! You will create some pencil drawings of your ideas. At the same time you will create an electronic brainstorm on the computer using Inspiration. **

**Once you have completed your final pencil design, you will be using lots of different coloured paints to create a painting of this final design. You will need to photograph your work along the way. At the same time you will begin creating a Photo Story presentation of your progress. **

**Lastly, you will use your artistic experience and pencil and paint designs to create a 3D clay piece. **

**After you have completed this journey you will have become an artist who is an expert on pencil, paint and clay as well as many different technologies such as Inspiration, cameras and Photo Story! **
