This planning resource is designed to aid students in contextualising their final art or textiles outcome(s) for their project and complete a detailed design idea. This sheet supports individuals through specific questioning and suggestions to consider and aim to meet the EDEXCEL assessment criteria within their piece, and ultimately their project overall. It can be used for Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 students. The sheet encourages students to annotate their plan and to discuss their intentions, explaining their ideas, artist inspirations and what medias, techniques and materials they will be using and exploring throughout the piece. It gives the students the opportunity to communicate what the creative journey will be for this one particular design. There is a colour/media/technique swatch samples section for students to create a visual dictionary for the work. There is also a useful key words section to help students answer the targeted assessment-linked questions and the assessment objectives are included for overall reference and purpose. The planning sheet sections are separated for specific focus and direction with students when used for discussion. This resource is one PDF file. This planning sheet has been designed to be used within GCSE and GCE schemes of work, but is also suitable for one off lessons. I usually print this resource on A3 and my students work directly onto the sheet to either make initial notes then type/neatly write up them up for their portfolios/sketchbooks, or they neatly complete the whole sheet and then add it as a page to their portfolio. The choice is left to the individual student in terms of managing their own presentation. I have created other GCSE and A Level planning, annotation, analysis and evaluation sheets, which you may wish to look at in my shop.
