This is a perfect way to start off a new year, term or class. Initially starting by introducing basic expectations within the art room, this PowerPoint shows an example of a rules contract I have all students complete at the start of the year. Following this are examples of a mixed media baseline assessment activity with exemplars and assessment for learning opportunities.

Students continue their examination of landscapes and build upon their previous work created in lesson 4 and 5, the collage skyline. In this lesson students examine Lizzy Hunter and create maps of their cities. In the ppt. you will find success criteria, a link to a teacher demonstration and an exemplar link to a student group demonstration as well as a starter task.

Students continue their examination of Dia de Los Muertos/Day of the Dead and continue to build an understanding of other cultures and nationalities, as well as different beliefs. In this lesson students continue to build an understanding of the patterns which are seen in the festival, as well as the way people chose to show themselves. The aim of this lesson is to examine the use of pattern both inside the festival and around the world in order to create a fashion or product outcome illustrated with patterns. This work includes a starter pattern sheet and resources necessary for the lesson.

In this pack there are several created challenge sheets to be used to introduce Maker spaces/Innovation Labs, or Innovation and creativity into the classroom. These challenges can be used as solo or group work and are best used to inspire additional resource and lesson planning around set topics. In Pack one are 4 regular challenges and 1 timed challenge. Each challenge card features a matching theme, introduces a scenario and presents rules which can be applied to any level or ability students, across any key stage.

This pack contains a PowerPoint showing four different pieces of work to help students become settled in the first term, as well as introducing them to the idea of Starter activities, Assessment for learning and providing feedback to one another. The goal of this pack is to help students become settled and explore what makes them who they are and begin to settle into the class. Each project contains a WALT/LI and either student examples or ideas to help students with their work. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

In this powerpoint, I provide a starting prompt in the form of questions, example images and information of the artist. Students are tasked with a activities supported by a rubric and questions share prompting for differentiated writing.

In this mini-project, we investigate Hazza Al Mansouri, the first Emirati Astronaut on-board the ISS by considering what his view of Earth would look like.

This PowerPoint contains five seperate pieces of Art work formed around building an understanding of the Landscape and different parts of the landscape, as well as various Art techniques including: drawing, colouring and collage. All pieces contain a WALT/LI with examples of student or exemplar work to assist with the project. Some pieces contain starter activities or assessment opportunities to be used with the class.
