A series of worksheets I have produced to develop learner knowledge of the influences and contexts surrounding the creation of graphic design and art. These were designed to meet part of the assessment criteria for Unit 02 of the NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design, however they would suit mainstream KS3 and KS4 as homework, cover lesson worksheets or starters. Feel free to ask any questions.

A PDF containing a range of portrait photographers with examples of their work. I designed this to inspire GCSE Year 10 pupils at a previous school. I have also added an abstract photographer PDF file as well (separate upload)

These resources are bits that I created during my PGCE year, when I taught GCSE Photography (AQA) The resources include a variety of activities, such as starters / plenaries /homework The composition worksheets were used alongside a selection of photographs that I printed as well (these can be selected based on the class / themes etc) Feel free to contact me with any questions!

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.

A series of design movement worksheets I have created for use in my lessons. I use these alongside the NCFE Level 1/2 in Graphic Design, however they would work well in KS3 and GCSE curriculum, perhaps as a homework task. Would suit Art & Design, Graphic Design and Design Technology subject areas. Have also uploaded some more Graphic/Design/Technology based worksheets of the same style.

Colourful and interesting literacy in Art & Design word mat I designed this to be used alongside the NCFE Graphic Design & Art & Design qualifications, however it would also work for KS3 and KS4 in mainstream schools. Contains key words, connectives, punctuation, command words, sentence starters and homophones I have also created a numeracy mat in a similar style I have laminated these and they are available for my learners in a folder in the classroom. They could also be stuck to desks or inserted into portfolios to support with annotation and theory work.

This resource is something I designed to help embed literacy within my qualification. The front of the resource contains a highly colourful range of examples to demonstrate the formal elements in Art and visual elements in Graphic Design. The back of the resource contains: Support for annotating work (with bullet points to encourage thinking) Sentence starters to help reflect on positives about a piece of their design/art Sentence starters to help reflect on areas to improve about a piece of their design/art Sentence starters to help reflect on things the learner does not like about about a piece of their design/art I chose to laminate these (double sided) and each learner has one in their folder to use as a point of reference if required. They would also work laminated and stuck to tables or even made larger and displayed on classroom walls.

This is a series of worksheets and information sheets that I have created for the boys I work with in the Young Offenders Institute. They are designed to be self-directed, but can also be used as part of classroom teaching. This is perfect for learners studying Graphic Design, Art, or Design & Technology, at KS3-KS4. This set: Case Study - BAPE X2 pages Task 09a - BAPE Designs Task 09b - BAPE Designs (stretch & challenge task) Set 1 Task 01 - Colour Theory Info - Colour Theory Task 02 - Colour Schemes Set 2 Info - Visual Language & Visual Elements Task 03a - Visual Elements Task 03b - Visual elements Set 3 Info - Logos Task 04 - Logo Quiz Task 05 - Logo Rebrand Set 4 Info - Elena Gumeniuk Info - Peter Judson Task 06 - Trainer Design Set 5 Info - Graffiti & Tags Task 07 - Create a Personal Tag Example graffiti fonts to trace Inspiration sheet Set 6 Info - Memphis Design Task 08a - Memphis Style (with images to decorate) Task 08b - Memphis Style (stretch & challenge task) 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 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 > THIS RESOURCE Rappers X Sneakers Brands X Sneakers Extension Tasks Feel free to ask me any questions.

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

I created this resource for the delivery of the NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Art & Design (Unit 02). The activity is very interactive, encouraging the learners to cut out the various examples of the formal elements within art and graphic design and then match them up in the boxes with the names & definitions. There is also the answer sheet included, and this can be used as a display or laminated for reference in lessons. I have used this resource with young offenders and it proved highly successful. It can also be used as a recap to check learner understanding.

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

I created a huge number of Artist research factsheets during my PGCE. The information for these was all found on the internet (please note I have not reworded any, merely copied and pasted). The idea behind the factsheets was to have a bank of resources for reference, both for myself and for students. I have printed all of these out and have them in separate folders (relating to style of art/design). I have made great use of them during my time teaching in a young offenders institute, and the learners like to select their own designers for inspiration to develop their ideas. This bundle contains: Half of the Traditional Fine Artist Factsheets I also will be uploading: Photographers, Graphic Designers, 3D Artists, Street / Graffiti Artists, Conceptual Artists, Illustrators, Textiles Designers, Modern Fine Artists and Installation Artists. 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.

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!
