Specific Learning Intentions Colin McCahon Vertical texture Landscape Paintings Explore McCahons Northland Panels to make connections between art and society Analyse his paintings to develop and apply ideas to extend their own art work Students will develop knowledge of different media, techniques and processes Students will create a piece of art work based on McCahons landscape panels using different painting techniques

Assessment Self assessment Peer assessment Children present final piece to class explaining what and how they created their piece of artwork

Observing Note Taking Planning Analysing Summarising Explaining Questioning Predicting Presenting Responding

Learning Focus 1. Explore McCahons paintings 2. Composition of page. Different sections looked at 3. Investigate the different sections 4. Painting techniques 5. Start painting landscapes using techniques learned

Learning Experiences 1. Show students McCahons paintings on Northland. Discuss why he might of painted a series of panels. What was he trying to portray? What media did he use? Does each panel link together? What sections has he painted e.g. land, sea, sky 2. Planning: decide on different parts of landscape you want to use in your painting as well as size and order of different sections. 3. Identify 5 cross sections of landscape sky, sea, sand, pebbles, and stones. Grass and soil. 4. Practice painting and experiment with different techniques. Techniques to use: dots, swirls, dabbing, brush twisting, sponging, rolling, scraping, over painting, sgraffito, cross-hatching and lines. 5. Start with sea and sky. 6. When the first layer of painting is dry, create specific features like clouds and waves using brushes and sponges to create texture. Use different shades of blue. 7. Use scraping to depict movement and currents in the sea. 8. Sand- under paint and then add sand. Paint another layer over the top when its dry. 9. Grass glue on tissue. Paint green. When dry use cardboard edges to stamp in white and yellow paint. 10. Pebbles and stones glue small pieces of tissue shaped in balls. Paint black/grey. Scratch around shapes into wet paint to create texture around these.
