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 is a booklet that I have created for the boys I work with in the Young Offenders Institute.
It is designed to be self-directed, but can also be used as part of classroom teaching.
This is perfect for learners studying at KS3 or 4.
The focus of the booklet is creative typography. It provides learners with tasks, information and stretch and challenge activities.
It would work well as cover work, extended homework, or even during lessons as an introduction to typography.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and feedback!
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
This is part of an ongoing project I am developing. As I complete parts of it, I will upload them individually and eventually as a full bundle.
The pages contain mini factfiles about each design movement, with key artists / designers and information. They are designed to be cut out (black outlines).
Perfect printed as a display, used laminated as flashcards, used to encourage students to put the movements in order, or made into a mini booklet for reference
I have used a Mac to create this resource so I have uploaded both a PDF and PowerPoint file, as I often find some fonts and formatting are a bit off when opened on certain computers!
Feel free to ask any questions
This is one of a series of worksheets and factsheets I have created relating to Sneaker Collaborations.
Each worksheet & factsheet set will be uploaded and available individually, and I will also offer it as a bundle (which would make a great project in Art / Design Technology / Fashion / Graphic Design).
The sheets introduce lesser-known artists and designers, and feature on-trend sneaker styles.
These sheets would be great either as a project, cover work, homework tasks, or self-directed tasks! The possibilities are endless!
The worksheet combinations include:
Artists X Sneakers
Designers X Sneakers
Rappers X Sneakers
Brands X Sneakers > THIS RESOURCE
Extension Tasks
Feel free to ask me any questions.
A set of worksheets relating to different graphic designers
Each one encourages the learner to consider the designer and the reasons behind the given example, with reference made to the visual elements of design
Work well with the NCFE Creative qualifications, but would also work as a homework task for mainstream KS3 / KS4 Art & Design based subjects
This resource contains:
Unit booklet - Unit 02 of the NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Art & Design (Complete a final art and design project)
Title page
& all mentioned resources needed for the completion of the unit
I designed this for young offenders that I teach to provide them with a structured way to enter designs to the Koestler Awards.
The format of the booklet is highly praised by EQA visits
Please do contact me if you have any questions.
A series of resources I designed for a KS3 (Year 8) mixed ability Art & Design class.
The theme of the scheme of work was African Plank Masks
Resources included: starter, two homework tasks, artist study and presentation with basic stages
Feel free to ask me any questions
I tended to group learners strategically to support with SEN, behavioural difficulties and to challenge those that are higher ability
A series of displays I created for my classroom
Colour theories, Pantone and Swiss Design
I use these in my young offender Graphic Design classroom but they would work in any creative environment
This is a series of resources I created during my PGCE year for a Year 8 KS3 Art & Design class.
The project focuses on Pop Art and self-portraits.
Feel free to contact me with any questions
A very simple cover lesson I designed for KS3 classes to set as cover in D&T.
The theme of the lesson is logo designs and this self-explanatory sheet works well for non-specialist teachers.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
These are a series of design movement influences sheets created for a unit of work that I am currently producing.
The unit of work is based around graphic illustration and the resources provide a series of design movements and explain how they have influenced illustration.
I will be laminating these for reference in class, however they would also work well on a display board.
I will also include these in the full resource for the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Creative Media (Graphic Design) - Unit 08
Feel free to ask me any questions!
A PDF containing a range of abstract photographers with examples of their work.
I designed this to inspire GCSE Year 10 pupils at a previous school.
I have also added a portrait photographer PDF file as well (separate upload)
I have started to create a bank of worksheets focusing on various designers / artists / illustrators. These stem from my initial design movement worksheets (also available on my account).
I use these worksheets to introduce young offenders (15-18) to a range of designers and artists. These worksheets could also be left as cover, or even set as a homework task to build learner knowledge and understanding. Each worksheet has two parts, the information sheet and the corresponding worksheet.
This bundle contains:
Aurelio Sanchez
Elena Gumeniuk
Rachel Bungey
Jimmy Turrell (X4 sheets)
I have tried to look at some more obscure and unusual examples to broaden knowledge for learners.
I will continue to upload bundles of between 5 and 10 sheets as I create them.
Please feel free to ask me any questions! Happy to make changes if needed :)
This is a full UPDATED FOR 2019/20 ACADEMIC YEAR unit of work for the NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design. I wrote it to deliver within a young offender setting and it works really well for 15-18 year old learners that are low ability.
I have included pretty much all of the corresponding worksheets for the unit in this bulk resource.
Prior to me writing the qualification, I found very little resources for the NCFE quals so hopefully this will support others now!
I have also uploaded:
Unit 01 - Visual (this unit)
Unit 02 - Influential
Unit 03 - Rebrand
Unit 04 - Create
NCFE Level 2 Certificate / Diploma in Creative Media (Graphic Design)
Unit 02 - Minimalist
Unit 04 - Typo
Unit 07 - Communicate
Unit 08 - Illustrate (this resource)
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
I created these slips for learners on my course to demonstrate how they have embedded literacy and/or numeracy into their graphic design
This is a big push within young offender learning and it helps the learners to understand the relevance of core subjects within pathways and the real world
Happy to edit the PDF for other subject areas - please just contact me!
A learner friendly peer feedback slip designed for use in an Art & Design lesson (with a project focused around Robots, however the design is very neutral and suitable for a variety of subject areas!)
A great tool for formative assessment and a way to encourage learners to work together and respect each other (British Values).
NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design command words display / poster
I designed this to display on my wall to help learners with the command words commonly used, to ensure they successfully meet the assessment criteria
Also relevant for GCSE Art & Design - happy to edit the document, please just message me!
