This resource includes 2 worksheets, ideal for preparing students for the comparative study during a gallery visit. Designed for ease of use, the worksheets can be printed in A3 for more space or A4 for convenience. Each worksheet guides students through the process of analyzing artworks with sections for: Quick sketches (two spaces provided). Background information (artist name, medium, title, and brief description). Initial thoughts with prompts and key words for inspiration. Links to own work and function and purpose to foster deeper analysis. A handy checklist of questions in the top corner ensures students stay focused, and a completed visual example is included for guidance. This resource makes art analysis more structured and effective. Enjoy it and if you like my resources, please review them :)

This resource includes a lesson and two identical worksheets (one with Welsh headings and one with English), designed to assist students with artist research. The worksheets feature sections like Who, What, Why, How, and Opinion, allowing students to record key details about the artist and their work. This structured format helps students create a clear and focused visual research page later on. The lesson breaks down what to include in each section with helpful prompts, making it especially useful for students who are new to this kind of research. I printed mine in A4 landscape format and gave one worksheet to each student. Please note: The PowerPoint includes flat images, meaning the text cannot be edited. Unfortunately, this is not something I can change. Enjoy it and if you like my resources, please review them :)

This FREE worksheet is perfect for a textural rubbings lesson. I printed mine A4 for my class, and it includes small boxes for students to experiment with different textures. Students can use found objects like coins, hair clips, lace, and more. I recommend using oil pastels or graphite pencils for the rubbings, as these materials tend to work best. The lesson is especially enjoyable for younger students, and you can extend it by having them compare marks with one another and provide feedback on what worked well and what could be improved.

This A4 resource is tailored specifically for art lessons, making it ideal for mid-term reflections and formative assessment. The checklist encourages students to evaluate their progress with three key areas: Strengths, Areas to Improve, and Response. Using the traffic light method on the right-hand side, students can self-assess their performance. At the bottom, there’s space for the teacher to provide feedback, followed by a section for the student to respond, fostering reflection and growth.

This lesson is packed with opportunities for experimentation using various techniques such as graphite, coloured pencil, and watercolour paint, all inspired by the work of David Hockney. The lesson includes clear explanations for each technique and a discussion point to kick off the session. The worksheet offers 30 technique prompts, and I recommend printing it A3 for more space to explore marks, although A4 works well for more advanced students. In the graphite section, students practice shading, hatching, cross-hatching, and various line techniques to build their skills. This engaging lesson can take up to two 1-hour sessions (or more), and you can extend the task by having students conduct their own research into each technique in pairs. At the bottom of the worksheet, there’s a Hockney painting example for students to recreate in different mediums. Please note: The PowerPoint includes the reference image, but does not show the Hockney painting recreated in watercolour or coloured pencil.

This lesson is perfect for art cover lessons or situations where you have minimal materials available. I’ve created a step-by-step worksheet that is easy to follow, making it ideal for students with limited ability or those new to the concept of tone. The worksheets are best printed A4, and all you’ll need are pencils and the worksheets for each student. The PPT lesson introduces the concept of tone and explores the different parts of the eye. As a starter, students will create a tonal ladder and provide feedback on tonal eyes. Then, they will work through the step-by-step worksheet (PDF Included), practicing shading techniques. The lesson concludes with an extension task where students apply tone to complete a title. Enjoy it and if you like my resources, please review them :)

This direct art annotation guide is a valuable reference tool for students, perfect for placing inside the front cover of sketchbooks. It encourages students to ask key questions when annotating their artwork, such as: What is it? Who made it? Why did they make it? How did they make it? Have you learned anything new?* Additional prompts and statements within each section help foster deeper reflection and more meaningful annotations. I printed mine A6 and cut one for each student. For your convenience, the resource is provided in both A6 and larger scale formats. Enjoy it and if you like my resources, please review them :)

This fun, colourful A5 visual aid is perfect for guiding students through artist analysis tasks. It features a mind map that helps students break down their analysis into five key areas: Content Mood Materials/Media Facts Opinion Each section includes sentence prompts and additional support, along with a keyword bank along the bottom for students who may need extra help. I recommend printing and laminating it to place in the middle of each table for easy reference during class. Please note, for printing convenience, the resource is provided doubled on one A4.

This free worksheet follows the S-T-A-R assessment structure and is designed with general prompts to be versatile across various subjects.

This fun and experimental lesson is perfect as a filler lesson, where students use Indian ink and oil pastels to create their own Indian Ink Bugs. The resource includes a PowerPoint (covering two lessons) that provides step-by-step guidance on drawing bugs in an experimental and playful way. Students will then add patterns and use oil pastel blending techniques to transition from dark to light. For students who may find drawing from scratch challenging, the PowerPoint includes bug templates they can use. To extend the lesson, you could photograph each student’s work and have them digitally edit their creations, using them for pattern-making workshops.

In this introductory lesson, students explore the elements of line, pattern, and colour to create a vibrant “patterned landscape”. Through guided instruction, students will experiment with repetition and arrangement to establish engaging patterns within their compositions.

This A4 visual aid focuses on experimental drawing. It is not a full lesson but works well as a starter activity, something for students to do in groups, or as a homework task. The aid includes timed experiments, such as drawing with the non-dominant hand, changing pen sizes and thicknesses, and other fun challenges to spark creativity and exploration in drawing. Perfect for engaging students in a hands-on, experimental approach to drawing! Enjoy it and if you like my resources, please leave a review :)
