OCR Level 3 Cambridge Technical Art & Design Unit 20 Exploring Digital Photography template. (2012 Series) This powerpoint is an annotated workbook that teachers can use to develop their unit 20 course content or for students to use as a workbook to create their unit 20 coursework. The powerpoint consists of 51 slides taking students through all the key components of what is needed to meet the assessment criteria of this unit. All of the images within the powerpoint are stock images that try to represent the style of image that is required by the student where ever possible. Each section prompts the student to analyse and use their own images to meet course objectives. Use alongside the OCR assessment and grading criteria so that students have a clear idea of how to work towards pass, merit or distinction. This powerpoint is fully editable and I would encourage editing of text and stock images to ensure indivduality of slide layout and theme. Using the ‘designer’ feature within powerpoint will ensure consistancy of theme.

This resource is a handy art sketchbook insert to be stuck into the front cover and first page of a new sketchbook. It is designed to help students keep their sketch books tidy and organised. My favourite student sketch book was discontinued and I loved the inside cover page! It allowed students to log assessment dates and targets as well as a handy section for remembering keywords and their definitions. So I decided to design my own, keeping the bits that I found useful as an art teacher. This handy reference reminds students of sketchbook expectations as well as the 7 elements of art and the colour wheel. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Print it on to an A3 sheet and then fold it to fit an A4 sketchbook or print smaller on to A4. Saved as a PDF, it includes crop marks if you want to reduce the size for sticking in. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you like this resource, then you might also like my KS3 sentence starter prompt sheet, to help students write in full sentences in their sketch books. Print out, laminate and leave on art room tables.
