Can you find these items in the art classroom? SEN resource

This resource was developed for an SEN student in one of my year 9 art classes. The student can match the words to the correct pictures, add colour and also work with the teacher, TA or other students to find the different pieces of equipment around the classroom.

Guide to completing artist research at A Level

This guide has been produced on Publisher and is a double sided A4 document which can be folded into a pamphlet. The guide has been made to support A Level students with their artist research and in particular, encourages them to be more independent learners and to also investigate a range of sources such as books, blogs, art galleries and TV programmes. There is a list of local galleries on the document (based in Bedfordshire, UK) but this section could be adapted to accommodate the museums and galleries in your school's local area. I have previously handed these out to students and I also have one on display in my classroom. This resource could also be suitable for higher ability GCSE art students.
