measurement, scale, characters and movement
Explore materials and techniques required for making and assembling as a stop frame
animation using the letters of their name.
To develop skills in constructing their stop motion video incorporating movement in the
lettering incorporating imagery text various typography - looking at font, scale, colour and
layering materials to create their individualise name.
Give relevance to things that are in their lifes that are important by creating letters of
importance by making larger font size and incorporating characters.
Develop research skills to source images suitable to use in designing the letters of their name
To help students comprehend graphic design as a means of visual communication.
Develop the relevant vocabulary to describe the elements in the design process they are
exploring.
Develop analytical drawing skills for moving objects and characters within the lettering
Develop an awareness of shape, form and depth.
Explore the tools and techniques required for creating a stop motion video.
Have an understanding of set design and how to correctly compose and photograph their
design.
Edit, crop and manipulate their digital images of the stop motion

Overall Learning Outcomes for the Scheme:
On completion pupils should be able to:
Plan, design, edit and assemble letters and moving props.
2d dimensional graphic design lettering to be incorporated into the stop motion animated
clip.
Students will complete drawings of their names including elements of their personalities and
interests
Understand the design process.
Construct set design as a backdrop to their stop motion animation
Discuss the font, colour , scale, positioning design process and develop an understanding of
the key techniques associated with the process.
Identify artists that have explored graphic design in particular i.e. Bansky and Sheppard fairy
Identify the artists works and be able to use the relevant vocabulary to describe graphic
design and stop motion animation.
Investigating/Exploring/Creating (include illustrations, especially your own work):


Investigate
Students will investigate artists Banksy and Sheppard Fairy
Through designing a stop motion clip they will examine sample stop motion you tube clips. They will
be looking at various typography, by identifying Font type, Colour, Impact, Size and placement.
Explore
.
Students will explore the visual elements of imagery, text, layout and colour of various
graphic design examples assessing how effectively these elements combined to communicate
the message they are designed to convey
The techniques and processes involved in stop frame animation i.e. photographing, editing,
layering cropping, framing, composition and manipulating images.
Creating
Animated stop motion video incorporating their names and individualising it by adding characters, or
props which reflect on their personality
Create and make set designs as backdrops to be incorporated in their stop frame clip.

Rachel
Art History and Critical Contextual Studies
Students will identify binary opposites by comparing and contrasting the
works of Paul Rand and Bansky
Analyse Bauhaus methods by combining imagery and text during creating
process
Focus on colour and style of artist Shepherd Fairy by examining use of
complimentary colour and composition.



To inform students about the History of Bauhaus and the role it plays in Graphic Design.
Image on right is a more recent poster design using Bauhaus style and I will show this to
illustrate to students how a certain style can be used



ICT: PowerPoint Laptop printer projector, you tube , internet, i motion, movie maker and camera


Key words/phrases: Graphic design, Colour, line, patterns,tone, texture, form , composition shape
height depth width, measurement, layout, angles, 3d construction - Stop Motion, edit, framing


Teaching/Learning Strategies:

Introduce students to artists who have created design emphasis being on font, pattern, shapes
and textures by showing them imagery and having a discussion in class about the different
artists and their styles.
A2 Visual aid for students to reference example imagery surrounding colour, layout and
typography/ stop motion, photography and editing
Demonstration on various types of typography layout and positioning by having examples of
various text layouts showing the students how positioning of the text is important.
Demonstrate how to transfer text by first creating a baseline on the text by placing their
chosen text underneath their template and transferring it onto a template using a light box/
window and pencil.
Distribute visual aid on imagery to help students to get some ideas to be encouraging them to
be more creative and help with their initial creative process.
Demonstrate how to cut-out imagery and typography by gathering students around a table and
I will firstly discuss safety precautions surrounding using a scalpel. I will demonstrate how to
correctly cut out typography and imagery by rotating the image as I cut.
Demonstrate how to create different effects by using layering process I will do this by
layering different material over my selected image for example maybe crepe paper.
Discuss with students at various stages of the scheme to see what is working and what is not
working using students work as an example. I will use a particular students work were they
have layered and created a particular aspect of their design of their name that is working well
and has consider appropriate font, colour, type, imagery, layout..
Demonstrate to students how to set up camera and tripod to make a Stop Motion Video
correctly considering composition, framing, lighting, background, foreground, movement,
and
timing and how to manipulate all these including their objects cut-outs to help achieve their
desire effect.
Discuss with students safety precautions surrounding equipment they will be using during this
scheme i.e. scissors scalpel, camera , video camera and tripod
Conclude the scheme by displaying students work allowing students to view the work of their
peers I will do this by placing students work around the art room and allowing students to
walk around and view their peers work and students will be given the opportunity to discuss
what they learned about graphic design before showing on the projector their final cut stop
motion animated video.


Materials:Templates, paper, card, scissors ,scalpel, textured materials , steel rulers , acrylic paint,
paintbrushes, magazines, glue, pencils, rulers , light box , colouring pencils, colouring markers, crepe
paper, colour card/paper, lettering, cutting mat, shoeboxes, camera , Tripod Blue Card, Backdrops,
Video camera, Pencils, Ruler Masking tape, Web cam, (portable) and visual aids.
Safety Precaution:
Students to follow art cleaning rules and must return material to storage
Be careful when handling equipment (digital)
No running in classroom
Students must follow guidelines for using scissors scalpel (sharp blades) if using blades
students are aware of safety precautions to avoid cutting also I will do a demonstration on the
handing of blades when cutting.


Differentiation: Adjust scheme to suit individual students learning abilities. For the less able students
I will reduce the amount of detail required for them to incorporate into their piece. For those with
stronger abilities I will encourage them to add extra detail. Visual aids will be use to reinforce all
students learning throughout this scheme. Students who are finding the task difficult will be paired
alongside a more competent student. Two students have mild learning difficulties so I will help them
during their design process. And put in place the buddy system and paired them with more able
students and provide tracing paper and grid system. Visual aids will be put in place to reinforce all
students learning.



Timeline/Sequence of Lessons:
Week 1 Introduce students to images and artists have a discussion on ideas on what theyre going to make,
demonstrate some of the techniques and all students will begin working on their pieces. Graphic design name
personality
Week 2 Continue working on their pieces students will be looking at visual aid and will be deciding on what they
will be incorporating into their finish piece. Demonstrating how to create a stop motion clip.
Week 3 Discussing with students what is working and not by displaying student work as an example. Repeat
demonstration on how to correctly frame and edit their piece
Week 4. Review of work and continuation of editing and set design
Week 5 Completing finished pieces students will be displaying their finished piece(s) and helping to edit the final
cut
