Presentation: Putting Your Name on Your Art

Slide 1 of 7 · Settling starter · Art · Year 1

5 minutes

Our art gallery

Every picture belongs to the person who made it. We put our name on our work, so everyone knows who made it.

While the register is called: look at the gallery sheet. Find the red dragon. Whisper the name under it to your partner.

Starter question: Which picture in the gallery has no name?

DCF: Citizenship → Digital rights, licensing and ownership No computers needed · pretend screens on paper

Slide 2 of 7 · Step 1: our art gallery and key words · Art · Year 1

10 minutes

A pretend web page from Ysgol y Felin

Their class made an online art gallery. Read the name under each painting: Cerys, Lili, Tomos, Osian, Amir.

Gallery

A place where we show pictures. This one is on a web page.

Name

Cerys put her name on the dragon, so everyone knows who made it.

Title

The name of a picture. Today your title starts with My.

LNF: Literacy → Writing → Vocabulary, spelling, grammar Point at each painting and read the name together

Supply teacher script (no subject knowledge needed)

Say aloud: “Look at this. It is a pretend web page from a pretend school called Ysgol y Felin. Their class has made an online art gallery. A gallery is a place where we show pictures.” Point to the top bar: “This is the web address, like the address of a house, but for a web page. The big words say Our art gallery.”

Do: point to each painting and read the name under it together: “The red dragon. Who made it? Cerys.” Then the daffodil (Lili), the castle (Tomos), the sheep (Osian) and the boat at the seaside (Amir). Then say: “Every picture belongs to the person who made it. The dragon is Cerys’s picture. It is not mine and it is not yours. Cerys put her name on it, so everyone knows who made it.”

Ask and expect: “Why is it good to put your name on your picture?” (so people know who made it; so it does not get lost; so you get the thank you) “When we make a picture on a computer or a tablet, we add our name too, just like on paper.” “Look at the rainbow. What is missing?” (the name) “We will think about the rainbow soon.”

Task 1: whose is it?

Here are 3 pictures from the gallery. Next to each one there are 3 names. Find the same picture in the gallery. Who made it? Draw a circle round the right name.

Now do the castle and the sheep yourself.

Slide 4 of 7 · Step 3: Task 2, the picture with no name · Art · Year 1

5 minutes

Task 2: the rainbow has no name

We do not know who made the rainbow. I really like it. What should I do?

Tick the kind, honest choices: Ask who made it and Ask the teacher.

Cross the wrong choice: Say I made it. We never say someone else’s work is ours.

Task 2 on your activity page · 5 minutes 2 ticks and 1 cross

25 minutes

Task 3: my picture, my name, my title

Task 3 is a pretend paint app. Today your pencil is the brush. Draw your picture in the big white space, then write your name and a title.

Name: Deio. A capital letter first, then small letters.

Title: My dragon. Copy your word from the word bank: dragon, castle, sheep, sun, boat.

Task 4: trace by me and My name, then copy them on the line. Start each letter at the top.

Tasks 3 and 4 on your activity pages · 25 minutes Big letter first, then small letters

Supply teacher script (no subject knowledge needed)

Say aloud (15 minutes for Task 3): “Task 3 is a pretend paint app, like on a tablet. Here are the colours, and here is the brush. Today your pencil is the brush. Draw your own picture in the big white space.” Allow about 8 minutes. Then: “Now put your name on it, so everyone knows you made it. Write your name in the Name box.” Write your own name on the board and point to the first letter: “A name starts with a capital letter, a big letter. The other letters are small letters.” Then: “Now give your picture a title. A title is the name of the picture. It starts with My. If you drew a dragon, your title is My dragon. Find your word in the word bank and copy it after My. If your word is not there, sound it out.”

Say aloud (10 minutes for Task 4): “Artists sometimes write by me on their work. Trace the grey letters by me with your pencil. Start each letter at the top. Then copy the words on the line next to them. Now trace My name and copy it. Look: My has a capital M, because it is the first word.”

Walk the room: the worked example pupil Deio wrote a capital D then e, i, o, and copied dragon with every letter in order. Look for a capital first letter (Deio, not DEIO or deio), letters sitting on the line and written left to right, and the b in by facing the right way. Praise a careful capital letter.
