This term, we take our inspiration from the “Cezanne to Giacometti” exhibition held at the National Gallery in 2025. 

We will start the Term with a look at Paul CEZANNE, the father of Modernism as he started to breakdown familiar landscapes into new ways of seeing. The first week will explore layering acrylic paint with large square brushes and pieces of card to mimic Cezanne’s block like mark makings. 

In week 2, we will explore Georges BRAQUE and the reduction of form into planes, shapes and tone. We will use paint (acrylic or watercolour), collage and mixed media to create a Cubist inspired artwork. 

Continuing with the Cubism feel, we look at Pablo PICASSO at how he reduced the figure into shapes and colour, in particular his portrait study of Dora Maar. We will explore acrylic techniques further and the use of line work to define edges and shapes. 
 
We then move into the magic of Henri MATISSE, and explore colour in the style of the Favues. Matisse also developed the technique of “painting with scissors”, and we will design large “postcards” with collage and mixed media elements.  

Week 5 will see us look at Paul KLEE and his delicate lines, use of playful colour and whimsical forms that remind us of childlike memories and wonder. Watercolours, delicate penwork and coloured pencils will be used to create our artworks. 
 
And finally, we will look at Alberto GIACOMETTI, and his figurative sculptures. Students will design their sculptural figures and place them in a unique setting; a garden, a gallery or a magical world? Techniques include the sculptural uses of aluminium foil and or tissue paper, combined with paint on canvas panels.  

The final two weeks are spent applying all of the term’s learnings into our own mini masterpieces and body of work time; just like a real life artist! 

A Term of Exploration

Our process based art studio teaching is founded in the Great Art Movements, and each week we explore a different era of Art History and Fine Art Techniques!

We will explore drawing mediums together with collage, mixed media, watercolours, oil painting, acrylic painting and assemblage.  Other techniques will include drawing, as drawing underpins most of our process art techniques. We will also explore a variety of subject matters related to portraiture, landscapes, animals, still life, urban landscapes and the human figure.

Create a Body of Work Masterpiece to take home!

The first 6 weeks are spent learning various techniques while in the last few weeks, you develop your own Realism, Impressionism & Beyond masterpiece based on the choice of techniques we looked at and developed over the course of the term!
