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.

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 **
This resource is something I designed to help embed literacy within my qualification.
The front of the resource contains a highly colourful range of examples to demonstrate the formal elements in Art and visual elements in Graphic Design.
The back of the resource contains:
Support for annotating work (with bullet points to encourage thinking)
Sentence starters to help reflect on positives about a piece of their design/art
Sentence starters to help reflect on areas to improve about a piece of their design/art
Sentence starters to help reflect on things the learner does not like about about a piece of their design/art
I chose to laminate these (double sided) and each learner has one in their folder to use as a point of reference if required. They would also work laminated and stuck to tables or even made larger and displayed on classroom walls.
A series of worksheets designed to encourage higher order thinking in the classroom
I currently use these with young offenders, however they would work just as well in a mainstream classroom
I designed them with a creative subject area in mind (given that I deliver Graphic Design), however they could work in other subjects as a creative and cross-curricular starter!
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.
Please feel free to ask any questions
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 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 series of design movement worksheets I have created for use in my lessons. I use these alongside the NCFE Level 1/2 in Graphic Design, however they would work well in KS3 and GCSE curriculum, perhaps as a homework task.
Would suit Art & Design, Graphic Design and Design Technology subject areas.
Have also uploaded some more Art based worksheets of the same style.
A cover lesson I created whilst I was off school.
Logos and re-branding logos.
PowerPoint and corresponding worksheets (also a PP file).
Perfect for KS3 Design Technology.
Any questions please ask!
I have created a bundle for the full NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design units.
This bundle contains resources, booklets etc. for Units 01-04
These have been updated for 2019/20 delivery.
The units have been designed by myself for delivery in a young offenders institute. I find them very popular and have seen good success rates with them.
The NCFE EQA approves of the formatting for the unit booklets and finds them very easy to quality assure.
Feel free to message me with any questions.
I have recently modified the resources to remove all youth justice reference. If you require any changes, please feel free to contact me nataliesheldon86@outlook.com

This is a cover lesson I created due to me being off from school.
It is aimed at KS3 students, either in Art & Design or Design & Technology.
The theme is Camille Walala and Memphis Design, with rebranding.
I know how stressful cover lessons can be to create when you are not well, so hopefully this will help!
The PowerPoint contains a school specific teaching tool (purple zone, which is designated independent time to work). Please feel free to modify as you see fit!
Any questions please ask.
These are a series of worksheets and information I have collated into a full project.
The theme of the project is MASKS & IDENTITY

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.

A series of worksheets I have produced to develop learner knowledge of the influences and contexts surrounding the creation of graphic design and art. These were designed to meet part of the assessment criteria for Unit 02 of the NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design, however they would suit mainstream KS3 and KS4 as homework, cover lesson worksheets or starters.
Feel free to ask any questions.
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
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.
