At Longsands Academy, we believe that you are entitled to be immersed in ‘the best that has been thought and said’, which is best achieved through a broad and balanced, knowledge-rich curriculum. We are building a seven-year revision strategy that supports you to remember the core and powerful knowledge that is required to be successful in each subject.

The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve demonstrates that knowledge is lost over time if it is not revisited. A simple model for memory involves working memory and long-term memory; working memory is limited, and can very easily become overloaded, whereas long-term memory is effectively limitless. You can support your limited working memory by storing key facts and processes in your long-term memory. Research evidence indicates that regular recall activities, known as retrieval practice, are an effective way of ensuring that knowledge is committed to long-term memory.

At the start of each term, you will receive a knowledge organiser booklet that contains content for all subject areas, including facts, dates, characters, quotes, precise definitions, and important vocabulary. You will use these knowledge organisers in your lessons, in tutor time, and during homework tasks. An important aspect of your revision for mid- and end-of-year examinations will be to use the knowledge organisers for self-quizzing. If this core knowledge is secured, you will be in a strong position to use and apply this knowledge in a range of contexts.

Knowledge organisers have their limitations. It is not possible to include absolutely everything you need to know in a booklet like this. In addition to self-quizzing from these knowledge organisers, you will need to use a range of other revision strategies to support your learning, such as practising longer questions and solving problems. The best way to use these knowledge organisers is to follow this simple guidance:

1. Look at a specific aspect of the knowledge organiser

2. Cover up the information

3. Write out the information from memory

4. Check and correct any errors, missing information or spelling mistakes LOOK COVER WRITE CHECK

Bestiary Book of Beasts A collection of illustrations of animals, often imaginary, from the Middle Ages (10th-13th Centuries). Examples include: griffins, dragons and unicorns. Each page of the book would include: an illustration; natural history information about the creature, including their attributes and characteristics; and also a moral lesson or story.

2 Surrealism Art Movement, 1920s Style developed after WW1 possibly in reaction to the horrors of warfare. Artists wanted to shock their audience and make them feel uneasy, they felt that comfortable and predictable Art was out of step with the mood of the era. Artists were interested in dreams and nightmares, objects out of context, and scale, and changes in the quality of materials.

3 Mark-Making Application of Materi-als

The different lines, patterns, and textures we create in a piece of art. For example: dashes, zigzag, cross hatch-ing, etc.When working in black & white, closely spaced marks create a dark tone, while widely spaced marks appear lighter.

4 Collage To Assemble in Layers This is the assemblage of photos, clippings or magazine pieces onto a surface. You can use dark and light tones of colour to create depth and the appearance of 3D. Collages can also include the use of mixed media.

5 Design A Planning Drawing Artists and sculptors use design drawings to experiment with ideas and then refine their final work.6 Maquette 3D Scale Model Sculptors will create a maquette to try out their ideas at a small scale, to see their sculpture design in 3D.7 Engraving Carved Marks Marks can be scratched or incised into a surface using a range of mark-making techniques. ** … Also See … Artist Research1

Formal Elements Features of Practical Art

This is the title given to the group of key practical features that you will use to make Art: Line, Tone, Colour, etc.

2 Line A mark to join two points

Lines can vary in length, direction, thickness & character. Contour lines follow the shape or form of an object.

3 Tone (or Value) Variations in Light & Dark

This describes how light or dark an image is (colour and black & white). Highlights & Shadows. Contrast.

4 Colour … See Colour Theory Colour Associations link different colours to emotions and to our memories of objects and places.5 Texture The Feel of a Surface Texture can be created through 3D sculpture. Texture can also be represented through 2D tone and Mark-

Making.6 Pattern A Repeated Design Patterns can be regular or irregular. You can deliberately break the pattern. The repeated element is called

a Motif.7 Shape Two Dimensional

AreaShapes can be Geometric (regular) or Organic (irregular). Defined through Outlines or by Contrast with back-ground.

8 Form / Volume 3-D Objects Form can be created through 3D sculpture. Form can also be represented through the use of Tone in 2D draw-ing.

9 Space 3-D Area Sculptures occupy real 3-D space. Artwork that is 2-D creates the Illusion of space, through scale and perspec-tive.

10 Perspective Drawing Objects in 3D A set of rules to accurately draw objects in space from different viewpoints. Vanishing Point. Orthogonals.

Composition Where things are placed

Arrangement of the elements of a design within the picture plane or the arrangement of objects within space.

2 Rule of Thirds 3x3 Guidance Grid An image is divided evenly into thirds, vertically and horizontally, to create a 3x3 grid. Key elements of the image are then placed along the lines, or at the intersection points, to create visually balanced and pleasing compositions.

3 Areas of Interest Key Visual Feature These are key features within an image, often placed at the intersection if the Rule of Thirds grid lines.4 Leading Lines Winding or Diagonal

LineAn element within an image that winds through or runs diagonally across the picture plane. These elements help to lead your eye into the picture, moving from the foreground, towards the background.

5 Symmetry Reflected Image Mirror/Linear and Radial Symmetry is predictable and balanced. Asymmetry creates uncertainty and imbal-ance.

6 Balance Hierarchy of Ele-ments

Every element within an image has a Visual ‘Weight’ and these need to be arranged so that they Balance.

7 Foreground, Mid-ground, Background The division of an image into three planes, from front, to middle to back. Often linked using a Leading Line.8 Proportion Comparative Ratio This is the relationship between measurements of an object, for example height to width. Maintaining the cor-

rect proportions means not stretching or squashing an image out of shape. (Eg: use Shift Key when resizing an image.)

9 Scale Relative Size This is the size of an object compared to the things around it. We often compare Art work to the size of a hu-man figure.

10 Negative Space Space Around Objects This defines the left over spaces around and between the Positive Shapes that make up an image.1

Colour Hue The Name of the Colour

Colours are arranged on the Colour Wheel: - Red – Orange - Yellow – Green – Blue – Purple – (R-O-Y-G-B-P)

2 Primary Red – Yellow - Blue These are the First Colours. They cannot be created by mixing other colours together. 3 Secondary Orange – Green -

PurpleThese colours are created by mixing two Primary Colours together. R+Y=O; Y+B=G; B+R=P.

4 Harmonious eg: Red – Orange - Yel-low

Colours next to each other on the colour wheel – these colours visually blend well together.

5 Complementary eg: Red & Green Colours opposite each other on the colour wheel – these colours contrast and stand out from each other.6 Saturation Intensity of the Hue Also referred to as Chroma. This refers to the depth and intensity of the colour. Low saturation tends to-

wards grey.7 Tints & Shades Colour + White or

BlackColours can be made lighter by adding white (a Tint). Colours can be made darker by adding black (a Shade).

8 Cool Colours eg: Blue & Purple Cool colours are used in the distance or background of landscapes, to show atmospheric or Aerial Perspec-tive.

9 Warm Colours eg: Red & Orange Warm colours are placed in the foreground as they stand out and appear closer.10 Contrast Range of Tones/

ColoursThe difference between the lightest and darkest Tones within an Artwork. High contrast includes both black & white. Complementary Colours, opposite each other on the colour wheel, also provide contrasting Hues.

What is the main thing to check for when doing career research online?

Ensure the website is accurate, reputable and up to date - all resources in the resource centre are less than two years old. Careers and pathways change over time so make sure you are using up to date information to make your decisions.

2 What are 4 useful and impartial websites that are good for careers research? Fast Tomato, Youthoria, icould and Start

3 What is an aspirations or aptitude test/questionnaire?You will see these when you use online careers sites, they are short questionnaires that help you to work out what your interests and skills are.

4 Why is it useful to think about my skills and interests before starting to research careers?

If you have a good idea of where your interest lie and what your aspirations are this will enable the site you are using to build up a better picture of what careers suit you and the suggestions given to you will be more accurate.

5 What do the terms 'working hours' and 'working patterns' mean?These refer to the structure of a typical working week. Some jobs have a fixed pattern of work and hours e.g. 9am-5pm Mon-Fri. Others are shift work and may involve night shifts.

6 What is a Level 3 qualification? GCSEs are Level 2 qualifications so Level 3 qualifications are the next step e.g. A Levels or Level 3 Diploma

7 What should I do once I am ready to look at different career suggestions or job profiles?

Read job profiles carefully and, if you can, save the jobs that interest you so you can return to them at a later date. Make sure you have written down your log in details, including your password, so you can access the site from other devices.

8 What should I do after I have finished researching careers?You should have a few ideas of possible careers. The next step is to focus on the skills and qualifications you will need to obtain in order to do those jobs.

9 What is an action plan?A document which records your interests and aspirations as well as targets you have set yourself. These can be short and long term targets. Targets should be SMART.

10 What support will be available to me next year which will help with my career goals?

You will be supported to produce a CV and make contact with employers so that you find a placement for work experience. The Academy also offers one to one personal guidance interviews - which help you to think through your ideas and set targets.
