Final outcome planning
An introduction presentation for school trips to the Warner Bros Harry Potter studios. The slides give instruction for finding and discussing potential creative careers whilst at the studio.
The presentation also has a fun character creation task, using the AI Dall-E website to generate a new character using student discriptions. This can be completed prior to the trip, after or on the way.
Presentation to introduce Hokusai’s The Great Wave and inspire students to work together to create a recycled version of the piece.
Includes an example from a Year 6 group, as well as 4 other famous paintings completed by previous groups.
Creating patterned cultural tiles in the style of Jill Ricci.
2 x worksheets for students to create patterned tiles based on a chosen country. One sheet offers a shape for students to complete work in, cut around and place together as a class whilst the other can be extended into a Photoshop piece.
Art & Design and Graphic Design cover lesson worksheet. Students to create their own 3D typography drawing in the style of Pop Artist Ed Ruscha.
Also suitable for extension tasks to practice tonal shading in KS3 and develop 3D drawing techniques.
Cover lesson activity designed for art or graphics lessons. Students to use inspiration from the MTV logo and various formats to create their own version using various stimulus.
The download includes a worksheet with examples and inspiration as well as two printable documents - one with a large, faded MTV logo and another with 12 MTV logos, for students to create multiple designs.
Researching, designing and creating a Google Doodle advert for an Inspirational Woman / figure. The scheme is structured as a mini GCSE project, encouraging students to work in their chosen style and generate their own ideas. The process covers research, planning, refinement, experimentation and completing a final outcome.
Various GCSE coursework projects, covering Art & Design, Photography and Graphic Communication.
Projects act as loose framework to begin projects and encourage independent development from the initial introduction.
A collection of 5 architecture resources and projects. Content covers mixed media architecture, Photoshop manipulation, illustration and Lino Cutting project.
Could all be used at GCSE level, or adapted to suit different key stages.
GCSE Art & Design project overview for a project based around architecture. Using locks as the initial starting point, students move into architectural forms through the work of Ian Murphy and Daniela Gullotta.
Later slides offer inspiration for independent development and creating work in different media.

Worksheet introducing the art work of artist Edward Bawden. Students are to design a traditional London townhouse, with Christmas decoration onto a brown paper bag.
Bags can then be presented outside or around school with appropriate tea lights to light up and luminate the illustrations.
Artist research analysis frame sheet, helping students to discuss the work of artists and designers at A Level.
Sheet includes suggested vocabulary and written structure.
Word Document guiding students through their Written Study for A Level Art & Design. The document was originally used for the Edexcel spec but can be adapted to any exam board.
The style of writing encourages students to write as a commentary, rather than a traditional essay.
Can be delivered at the end or in sections through the Y13 course.
Worksheet introducing papal picado - traditional Mexican bunting.
The activity asks students to design half of a papal picado design before folding and cutting out the shapes. Each student in the group should then have a finished paper cut piece to contribute to a larger class bunting.
Perfect one off activity or introduction to Mexican culture. Excellent way to include symmetry and maths into design work.
Printing the sheet on different coloured papers will help to create a more vibrant group piece.
Double sided A3 sheet with question prompts to help students write about their Art & Design coursework. The booklet was originally made as an aid for A Level Graphic Design, but can apply to all endorsements.
A simple sheeting allowing students to apply pre taught shading and tonal techniques to 3D shapes.
Used as a practice builder into more substantial 3D still life drawings.
A tutorial guiding students through the creation of a digital illustration collage in the style of designer Tristan Eaton.
The project was originally carried out in celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee but can be adapted to suit any portrait and subject matter.
Brief scheme of work aimed at a Y12 induction to Graphic Design. The scheme of work begins with students studying Rauschenberg’s collage screenprints and interprets them into modern collage pieces.
Eventually, students are lead to create a social media ident which introduces them to basic After Effects functions.
The slides are lesson overviews, not tutorials for Photoshop and After Effects.
