Writing in Art - KS4 (18 pages)

All the help you will ever need to guide GCSE students in writing for their sketchbooks.

Many students can find writing for art extremely challenging. This resource is 18 pages of explanations, exercises, tips and challenges to help students make rapid progress.

There are extensive notes accompanying each slide with suggestions for the teacher on how each page might be used.

When I have previously used this booklet I did it early in the GCSE course and spaced it out over a term as too much emphasis on writing can inevitably switch kids off. Some of the exercises can be done as homeworks or starter activities.

I have produced this booklet as a PowerPoint to provide additional versatility in the way it might be used. For example, teachers may want to use it both as a booklet and presentation, and to add to the presentation examples of work which explain visually the ideas contained with in the booklet. Students work could be added to the presentation so the exercises are better contextualised.

Feedback is very welcome.
