This is a comprehensive 18 page literacy pack. This is a body of work that I have developed over several years of teaching which supports students at all key stages in developing their ability to analyse and evaluate their own work, and the work of others. It includes question sheets which guide and develop their thinking, alongside writing frames and word banks which improve the quality of written responses. I normally print this as a booklet that I hand to my students at the start of the year, but you can print the pages individually. Booklet includes: How to research an artist/designer What is evaluation? How to evaluate your work - generic How to evaluate a drawing How to evaluate a painting How to evaluate a copy or response Sentence starters How to analyse a work of art Word banks related to photography Word banks related to all formal visual elements Feedback is very welcome, but please be kind.

This teaches students colour theory, and how artists use colour theory.

An exemplar analysis resource for teachers is also included.
