Organised into six units, where each unit contains the following sections: At the end of each workbook there is a glossary with the most important terminology used in each one of them. There are also voice recordings available to work on English in all its dimensions. All of this material will be worked on in just the right level of English, and will be adapted to make it comprehensible and promote learning. 4 ANALYSE 1 Visual communication 1. Ancient map of the Bay of Biscay (Golfo de Vizcaya), Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer, 1586 Observe and discuss • Look at the drawings of animals in the images. What does each one represent? Which do you think were the most difficult to draw? • Explain the main differences between the two images. For example, the lines, colours, shapes, etc. • Which type of drawing do you think is clearer? Why? • What do you think the purpose of each image is. For example, to inform, to inspire or express feelings, to impress, to educate…? • Do you think a person standing in this park in London could easily find their location using the map? How could they find the tourist information centre? • Draw a simple map to show the location of your house. Does the map look like image 1 or image 2? 2. Map of Regent's Park, London, 1999 Since Prehistory, we have used images to communicate and to share information. An image can send a message to a receiver more effectively than a text can. Artistic Drawing I 7 CREATE Sign designs Design an information sign to warn drivers that they are near an unidentified flying object (UFO) sighting area. The sign needs to be easy to understand. Do some pencil sketches first. European road signs are designed so that drivers from all countries can easily understand them. They have different shapes and colours, so people can recognise them from a distance. They feature pictures that are simple and easy to identify. Tips Prohibition signs are round. They are white with a red border. Warning signs are triangular. They are white with a red border. Information signs are rectangular or square. They are blue. 6 Simple shapes PRACTISE Simplicity is the main characteristic of a pictogram. 1. Simplify an image to obtain simple shapes that allow you to identify the original shapes at a glance. 2. Use similar colours. Simplify these images to create pictograms. Sketch over the photos using tracing paper. Choose one or two colours that represent the image. Step by step 12 In commercial photography, colours are used to express ideas, to highlight parts of a product and to send messages effectively to potential consumers. 3 2 1 GALLERY The expressiveness of colour 4 1. Warm colours, such as yellow, orange and red, represent the Sun and fire. They create warmth and joy. Red can represent passion. 2. Blue and white represent freshness and purity. 3. Green has many meanings. It is a calm colour, which we associate with nature. 4. Black represents elegance, wealth and high social status. 5. Brown is a warm, natural colour. It is associated with nature, strength and masculinity. It can seem nostalgic, elegant and sophisticated. The tones of the colour can be adjusted to achieve colour harmony. This is called the colour scheme. The colour scheme can have an expressive purpose, because colours can inspire feelings in the receiver. 5 Activities, explanations, and images to put what has been learnt into practice. “Learning to learn”. PRACTISE We will apply what we have learnt in different creative activities. “Digital and entrepreneurial skills”. CREATE It will contain examples of works of art and drawings. We will work on “Cultural awareness and expression skills”. GALLERY Introduces the content. It begins with an analysis of a work of art, information, and techniques that will be worked on throughout the unit. This unit promotes “Cultural Awareness and Expression”. ANALYSE
