My most popular resource is the personal investigation planning document. Now I have complimented this with all the resources you will need to deliver the entire personal investigation component, which is 60% of the A’Level assessment. Everything A’Level art teachers from any exam board need to use to deliver the P I to their students, from July in year 12 - February in year 13. Each Lesson powerpoint is full of images and examples of pupil work, and follows the same structure to link in with the planning document for you to issue to students. One Powerpoint of learning springboards, for use at the end of y12, to kickstart students investigations, before they leave for the summer break 7 extensive Powerpoints each with content descriptors, tasks, lesson starters and video links - one for each of the 7 components of the personal investigation planning document student self planning documents for students to precis their ideas, easily checklists for teachers to track pupils progress summer task worksheet - to spring board your students into their study, from y12 into y13 gallery/London trip homework sheet and of course… assessment objectives cited throughout key vocabulary cited throughout illustrations and art examples throughout Knowledge recall and vocabulary explained, throughout The personal investigation is made easy with these structured and supportive resources. No more excuses for your students to say they don’t know what to do next, and everything you as teacher need to deliver this component!! All of the resources are editable, to suit your own school and students.

An introductory lesson to Matisse - creating a collage. These can be made individually, or in groups. Slides map out the outcomes needed, and roles for effective team work! Includes literacy prompts, video links to Matisse at work, review tasks and a recap quiz :-)

A fun and easy to understand powerpoint suitable for KS2 & 3 pupils, that explains how artists like Kandinsky used abstract art to depict emotions and music. As well as art making activity - it contains easy to use literacy templates for pupils to write about their art works, and sound clips to get the pupils listening, thinking, - and painting! Lesson objectives, starter, review and PLTS prompts are in the powerpoint slides, so its an easy and practical resource to use without adaptation. Suitable for non specialists and art teachers alike - who want to teach pupils about abstraction, and how colour can be used to explain emotions.

Art & Design GCSE teachers will find these excel countdown documents VERY useful. I have found that using them has boosted our grades to 5% above National Average - and I work in a deprived Academy! Each one charts the activities pupils can follow, as they plan for their final or mock exams. They could also be adapted for use with coursework projects. The issue many art teachers have [myself included!!] is OBLIGING pupils to make work, even if they are ‘stuck’ for ideas. These sheets minimise that possibility. They make pupils create outcomes, EVERY lesson. This generates work that is then presented for each Assessment Objective. I have found it really focusses and motiviates the pupils, if they have to mount up work for each AO on a display sheet. Each of these countdowns: has 3 tiers of difficulty for each task set - allowing you to differentitate can be adapted to suit your calendar - just change the dates, and number of 3 tiers lessons you need in each week can be printed off individually, or merged into one document, for display can be shared with parents/carers - electronically if you wish - so its easy for them too to know, what their children should be working on. So; no blank pieces of paper, and no blank stares from stressed out pupils, stuck for ideas! Do try these yourself, and let me know how you get on :-)

Need to cover literacy key words and set a Homework that the pupils will enjoy? Look no further. All are here! I’ve included 2 levels of difficulty in 2 sets of Lesson objectives, and I’ve also included extension tasks for more complex colour mixing experiments, on the A3 sheet - to challenge and extend. There are some vibrant photos of sweets at the end of the power point - for pupils to paint directly from, or to print off to draw from for the homework task :-) Enjoy!

Two powerpoints that will get your pupils talking positively about why rules are necessary in your classroom, and then ask them to capture their understanding of the rules, in a poster. Lots of prompts for dialogue and agreement, and structured with clear rules and outcomes, so that pupils will understand what you want, whilst being empowered to take responsibility for their own compliance, and so also their future success! Adapt the rules I have suggested, to meet your own needs :-)

A Level teachers of Art & Design looking for all they need to deliver the Personal Investigation, in Y13 - will love this set of resources. They support your teaching of the unit methodically, yet creatively! Avert crisis or blank pieces of paper, with these tools. pupil plannng proposal form - for pupils to map out their ideas pupils detailed proposal form - with essay content suggestions, deadlines and word counts integrated homeworks and London research trip tasks illustrated Power Point for you to adapt and use in class annotation prompt help sheet [which in fact you could use with any art class] summer Homework task - to kick start the project at the tail end of year 12 We have used these annually in my own school for several years, and they work so well for us I thought they were definately worth offering for you to use.

Art & Design A level teachers will find this countdown document VERY useful. I have found that using them has boosted our grades last year to 16% above National Average - and I work in a deprived Academy! For each of the 4 assessment objectives, it states the activities pupils can follow, as they plan for their final or mock exams. They could also be adapted for use with coursework projects. The issue many art teachers have [myself included!!] is OBLIGING pupils to make work, even if they are “stuck” for ideas. The sheet minimises that possibility. They make pupils create outcomes, EVERY lesson. This generates work that is then presented for each Assessment Objective. I have found it really focuses and motivates the pupils, if they have to mount up work for each AO on a display sheet. The countdowns: has 3 tiers of difficulty for each task set - allowing you / your pupil to differentiate can be adapted to suit your calendar - just change the dates, and number of 3 tiers lessons you need in each week can be printed off for display can be shared with parents/carers - electronically if you wish - so its easy for them too to know, what their children should be working on. So; no more blank pieces of paper, and no more blank stares from stressed out pupils, stuck for ideas! Lesson by lesson, your exam work is produced… Do try these yourself, and let me know how you get on :-)

A set of work centred on the 7 elements of Art & Design that students can work from remotely, at any time - especially good if you need a set of work that pupils can create easily at home? As the tasks set develop skills in the basic elements of Art & Design, they will develop your students generic Art skills, whatever their current topics or stage. A knowledge organiser, and a set of tasks are provided, for the elements of: LINE COLOUR TONE TEXTURE FORM SHAPE PATTERN All are in PDF format or image files - so they can be easily uploaded to your school website or emailed home.

Stretch and Challenge cards linked to common Art project themes at KS3&4, with a template teachers can use to create their own. Suitable to print and hand to pupils as extension materials, or to populate a ‘Challenge Area’ in your differentiated classroom. Easy for pupils to understand, and flexible to use - and adapt to create your own.

A straighforward powerpoint with Blooms tiers tied to evaluating pupils own art work, or that of others. Blue Screen to enable SEN pupils, with simple questions that elicit higher level responses from pupils at KS3, 4 &5. Especially useful for MA pupils and those looking to increase their marks for AO3 at GCSE and A’Level. Enables differentiated responses, in a clear and easy to understand way. Display it in class, or print it off as handouts.

These are a great resource for GCSE Art & Design teachers who want to** formatively review their students work **- telling them exactly what they have done well for each AO, and crucially - how they can do better!! The mark scheme for each Assessment Objective is stated on each of the 4 sheets, with a list of formative review comments that the teacher just highlights to state what the student could do to improve their mark. This is easy for the student to understand, and works well when photocopied to send home to parents & carers too - as by adding your own photo of the students work, it’s easy to see what needs developing! Students respond in their own WDYT section, to the teacher marks - so this ticks PIXL / formative assessment / AfL boxes really clearly… Two samples of completed reviews are included too, so you can see the end product with real samples from GCSE students this year! I used them in my own classes, and they made a massive impact on the students responses to their grades - they really took ownership of the reviews, and our grades rocketed as a consequence!

3 Items that will make assessing your KS4 Art & Design pupils so much easier! Using the grade boundaries published last year, I’ve created resources that work for my own pupils, that tell them what grades they have - and so also - how to get better! Here are: An assessment grid in language pupils can understand - that you can highlight / write on - with the boundary marks for each GCSE grade, stated A sheet of last years grade boundaries - that you can print off, for pupils to glue into their folders / sketchbooks A marking tracker, that you can use to formatively record your marks on, with a space for pupils to write in their comments, too I have found that by sharing the marking I do, and giving the pupils the chance of a re-mark, pupils [and parents] now more readily not just the grade they have - but what they can do to get better. These helped us improve our departments marks by 10% to above national average last year!

Use this handy grid to oblige pupils to plan what they are going to do, next lesson! Especially useful in art exam prep time - when you need pupils to commit to their next steps!

Many students will have gaps in their learning, to close, for a variety of reasons. These resources will be especially useful for y10, 11 and y12 & 13 pupils in Art & Design, but could be used by other years, too. There are 17 Resources in total. Centred on each AO [Assessment Objective] they rapidly oblige pupils to create art for assessment AO1 - how to research artists and make work in reponse to them. How to annotate the responses pupils make, using key words the exam boards want. AO2 - a range of activities centred on different materials and techniques, for pupils to do, and annotate their findings AO3 - observations and annotations. Tasks are set from real life and secondary resources. How to develop these ideas into the pupils own personal creative responses AO4 - developing and finishing pupils own personal responses, and preparing these for display, and assessment. Each AO is split into separate, chronologically sequenced tasks, starting with AO1. Each set has images, text and a set of 4 ‘independent study’ questions. All have literacy support materials and key words to use. Each task sheet is in word, to make them easy to upload and send home electronically or printed, and/or their content could easily be cut and pasted into your own lesson slides. There has been much talk in the Art & Design teacher community about how to routinely close the gaps created in pupils learning - so I have put these resources together to try to assist with that big task!

Leonardo is famous for his amazing drawing techniques. This lesson profiles 9 drawing exercises he used, and gives pupils the chance to select from these, to make their own drawings. Created in a format that is easy to use in on-line art lessons, at home, as well as in a real Art classroom Linked to an on line article that describes each exercise and how it was used by Leonardo Easy to follow power point that describes each exercise Power point formated to allow pupils to create and insert their images into their own slide, before returning it to you! This lesson will get your pupils to think about alternative ideas for drawing, whilst they make their own… It will also give them a real insight into the creative processes of the legendary Leonardo Da Vinci!
