Short course
The goal of this curriculum project is to foster the creative potential of junior cycle students by integrating the importance of mental health and well-being, the value of possessions that are disappearing because of climate change, and the potential psychological and mental effects of living in fear of what might happen in the future. How will life be if a devastating storm destroys everything we own? It could have an impact on your mental and emotional health.
The author of "Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth" (which was published in 1842) will be particularly engaged by this approach of learning. At least five of Turner's paintings from the previous ten years explored the relationship between nature and the new steamboat technology. Turner also addressed topics related to industry, steam power, railroads, and urbanism. He was unparalleled in his portrayal of the natural world that humanity had not yet conquered, examining the impact of the elements and the conflict between the forces of nature. Different layers of colour are applied to Turner's tints and tones, and the brushstrokes give the painting texture. There are only a few tones of grey, green and brown are present and the hues are monochrome.
Students will paint the streets of the buildings, depicting how Limerick City would appear flooded during a catastrophic storm. Before beginning their actual architectural painting, students will have an opportunity to engage the AI by creating a prototype painting that will demonstrate how the space would seem.
This Project have 4 Strands:
Strand 1: Research – Introducing dramatic storm paintings painters' Artwork
Strand 2: Planning and Preparation- Site Visit: Limerick City (O'Callaghan Strand & Clancy's Strand)
Strand 3: Creating final architecture painting
Strand 4: Examining, considering, and assessing the finished Painting display
Take into consideration the crucial components of water that will reflect the buildings as Turner depicted and colours that will create the mood that should be incorporated into their finished painting. Assist the teacher in creating a workshop that will first show the students, step-by-step, how to use your creative abilities to design and draw the best possible building.
students will then begin creating their final painting by examining the image from the primary source, drawing the building on their cardboard, adding water colours for the sky (which will be easier to work with), and using acrylic paint to create the water and ensure that the buildings reflect on it.
Once they reach a particular point in the painting process, students will be divided into groups to collaborate, share ideas and advice, and explain their colour choices and atmosphere, which may aid those who are having trouble with their work.
Students will practise in a workshop where they will create several small drawings of a sky with various moods and atmospheres. For example, they will illustrate how a rainy sky would appear and how a sunny sky would feel. They will also explain how the weather can alter one's mood and have an impact on one's mental health, either positively or negatively.
Students will select the painting that best meets the success criteria, evaluate each other's work, and discuss what they believe went wrong and how they could do better.
Encourage students to discuss their work in order to boost their self-confidence, observational drawing and visual literacy, critical thinking abilities, and comprehension of the concept behind their paintings not just the piece of art itself, but the meaning behind it.
Encourage students to explore with painting techniques by using the work of contemporary artists as a guide. They will also be able to use the appropriate painting brushes in a private setting to convey the emotion they wish to convey in their paintings.
In order to make students feel at ease and ensure that they comprehend their own method for creating a performance piece of art that is based on learning through their process of making as well as the meaning of their painting, encourage and permit them to work freely, whether or not they make mistakes.
