Currently work in the Youth Justice Service developing programmes of intervention for young people in the service.
Past experience working as a teacher of Art and Graphics in a young offenders institute, teacher in alternative provision education specialising in SEMH & SEND, and mainstream secondary teacher of Design Technology and Art & Design.
I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.

A series of key words / terminology displayed in categories relating to Art & Design, Photography and Graphic Design
Taken from the AQA GCSE website
Perfect blown up on display - can be copied onto coloured paper for effect, or even placed in sketchbooks as a daily reference
NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design command words display / poster
I designed this to display on my wall to help learners with the command words commonly used, to ensure they successfully meet the assessment criteria
Also relevant for GCSE Art & Design - happy to edit the document, please just message me!
A very simple key words match-up activity based on Op Art. Perfect for a starter activity, or even to use at the end of a lesson to check learning has taken place.
A learner friendly peer feedback slip designed for use in an Art & Design lesson (with a project focused around Robots, however the design is very neutral and suitable for a variety of subject areas!)
A great tool for formative assessment and a way to encourage learners to work together and respect each other (British Values).
A simple question sheet I produced for a class who were learning about Michael Craig Martin. This worked well as a starter and the class liked the competition element. I have also included the answers.
I created these slips for learners on my course to demonstrate how they have embedded literacy and/or numeracy into their graphic design
This is a big push within young offender learning and it helps the learners to understand the relevance of core subjects within pathways and the real world
Happy to edit the PDF for other subject areas - please just contact me!
A simple Op Art themed wordsearch that I created to use as a starter during an Op Art themed lesson.
Works well for KS3 learners.
I have also provided the answers.
A series of worksheets (all in one PDF) created to develop learner understanding of colour theory and colour schemes.
The worksheets have been designed for use in a young offender institute, and so the subject is aimed at teenage boys.
These would work as a cover lesson, homework or taught lesson activity.
Feel free to ask any questions.
This is a mini PowerPoint I created for KS4 Year 9 pupils who were undertaking a marine life themed project in Art & Design.
Feel free to ask me any questions!
This resource bundle contains 3 lesson starters / activities for a KS3 Art & Design class
The theme of the worksheets is Portraits, though it would also work as a generic starter in Art, or even as cover work.
Feel free to ask me any questions
A very simple cover lesson I designed for KS3 classes to set as cover in D&T.
The theme of the lesson is logo designs and this self-explanatory sheet works well for non-specialist teachers.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
This is a PowerPoint presentation I created for a job interview a while ago.
It is based on Perspective Drawing (one and two) and is Art & Design focused.
Feel free to ask any questions.
A series of displays I created for my classroom
Colour theories, Pantone and Swiss Design
I use these in my young offender Graphic Design classroom but they would work in any creative environment
These are a series of worksheets and information I have collated into a full project.
The theme of the project is MASKS & IDENTITY
Within the project, there are a number of mini sections relating to different mask types. I have uploaded these individually (see below) as they are perfect for cover / homework / one off lessons. I will also upload the full project once I have added the finishing touches.
Available worksheets:
Artists - Cindy Sherman / Marcus Coates / Haus-Rucker-Co
Cultural Map
Day of the Dead
Drill Music
Festima
Filipino Dinagyang
Halloween
Music
Superheroes
Symmetry
Venetian Carnival
Each upload contains a PowerPoint and PDF. I created the resources on a MacBook and sometimes Windows PowerPoint can open the fonts and formatting slightly off, so I wanted to offer both versions! You can also edit the PowerPoint to make it suitable for the students you teach.

This list is not exhaustive, I will be creating worksheets regularly and will update the list as and when.
I have numbered the tasks to eventually collate them into a full booklet. I will be uploading the tasks and info in subjects (see above). Once I have created and uploaded them all I will create a bundle as well. I will also be creating a checklist so that as each sheet is completed, they can be ticked off.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and feedback!
I will be continually adding similar resources as I produce them.
**I have uploaded these as PDFs due to the large file sizes and to avoid any of the elements moving on the designs. If you require an editable copy, please email me nataliesheldon86@outlook.com **
