This is a comprehensive body of work formatted into a printable booklet. This was created for my students to help them improve literacy in art, and work more independently. Students are regularly asked to research, evaluate and analyse throughout their art education. This book gives students the foundations in learning to write with confidence. You can print this as a booklet OR you may choose to print each page as and when you need it for your lessons. Included: How to Research and Artist/Designer. Understanding the difference between evaluation and analysis. How to evaluate a work of art. How to evaluate a pencil drawing. How to evaluate a painting. How to evaluate a response or a copy. How to analyse a work of art. Sentences starters. Words linked to art materials. Photography annotation. Word bank of photography technical terms. Word bank on - Atmosphere, Texture, Form, Pattern, Line, Tone, Shape, Colour. Notes page - for students to write in.

This worksheet is for students to apply their knowledge of color theory by painting/coloring in the color wheel and answering the questions below the color wheel. I have also attached the answers to the questions should you need them. I usually ask students to use acrylics for this task. You may want to download for free, my color theory introduction page, which teaches students the history of color Theory. This worksheet is also part of a bundle I have created available on my profile.

This poster can be used as a class display or to be handed out to students for a lesson on how color is used by artists to convey message and meaning as well as emotion. Links to information presented on the poster are discreetly displayed in light grey, where information has been copied and pasted from online sources, should you wish to do some further research for your own schemes of work.

This is an informative poster that gives a brief history on the origins of Acrylic Paint. I created this and used in lessons as a handout. It worked well as a starter activity/discussion point on the benefits of understanding different mediums. This leads on to students researching the history of oil paints (classroom activity or homework) and making comparisons between these mediums - pros and cons.

This resource is aimed at helping teachers and students with the beginning stages of developing ideas for the Identity project. Suggestions on how to start the project. Mindmaps for possible directions based on the theme.
