This GCSE Art Project aims to develop and enhance the range of skills that students have been taught at KS3, enabling them to master and improve in a way that was engaging yet simple to achieve. There are some ‘essential’ art skills taught in this project, including: grid drawing, pencil drawing, pen drawing, acrylic painting, watercolor painting, poly printing and different types of research / art analysis / presentation skills. The theme is Pop Culture, allowing students a wide range of references to work from. The presentation includes lesson entry tasks / plenaries and exit tasks, examples of student work, homework tasks throughout. There are printable resources on slides 1-12 with the Pop Culture images I used in lessons. There is an artist research information slide that can also be printed (slide 43) There are 124 slides in total.

4 double-sided PDF work sheets on artists for the theme of Natural Forms. Artists included: Georgia Okeeffe Beatriz Milhazes Jo Sheppard Amiria Gale

Black and white imagery intended for pencil sketching. PowerPoint file so can be edited if needed. Straight-forward resource which can be delivered by a non-specialist teacher if necessary.

A student friendly resource created using the Edexcel A Level Art and Design assessment grid. It contains all 4 assessment objectives along with the levels 1 to 6 and the grades for each of these levels based on this current years grade boundaries. In each section there are student friendly descriptors designed for students to be able to assess their own skills and abilities throughout their course. You will receive a PDF designed to print A4.

Drawing skills- Ideal for KS3 students exploring artists such as Sarah Graham, Sweets and confectionery. This easy set of slides can be printed for students to choose which photograph they want to study and draw. Resources included: Easy to use powerpoint slides Printable worksheets Easy-to-use teacher instructions- set up in minutes Ideal for a non-specialist teaching room, which can be completed over 2-3 lessons. Students draw the grid on the empty box opposite, then start to carefully transcribe each box onto their own grid. Students can develop looking and recording skills through practicing their drawing. There is also scope for teaching blending skills, through using a range of coloured pencils and techniques to make the sweet packets appear realistic. Resources needed: Ruler pencil Coloured pencils As with all my resources, this is tried and tested mainly with Year 9 students in Art and Design (Spring Term). This allows for them to develop ways of recording and colour theory, alongside a ceramic project when they can then apply these skills to painting.

This is a stand-alone art lesson that helps to teach students how to draw the correct proportions of the human figure. This is an introduction to figure drawing, which can be used in a bigger scheme of work looking at the human figure, or it can be used as a cover lesson. This lesson can be used with KS3 or KS4 students and can be easily differentiated. It includes 3 main activities (starter - main - plenary) and can be taught by a non-specialist. It has clear learning objectives and an extension. It encourages students to look carefully at the proportions of the human body. I have made this lesson as I was unable to find a quick one-off lesson that was not just focused on drawing. This lesson has different activities to keep students engaged. Any teacher would be able to deliver the lesson, you just need to make a photocopy of one of the resources attached to the PowerPoint.

A level Art. If you are struggling to find outstanding exemplar material to show your A level Art students, this might help. Over 30 slides documenting an A* graded sketchbook. The work clearly demonstrates outstanding observational work along with media experimentation, idea development and critical and contextual referencing. This work was awarded A* and was highly praised by the exam board. This work was produced in response to the AQA A level Fine Art title. The theme here is “Growth and Decay”.

A3 Worksheet part of the Shape and Form series with a focus of Cylinder and Ellipses. The resource gives a good introduction or recall on how to draw a cylinder in a variety of orientations. Outline, tonal shading, contours and direction of light are mentioned within tasks. The work of Patrick Caulfield is used as an example and becomes the basis of tasks looking at shape, repetition and colour. Resource is useful for cover lesson in Art and Design or 3D design lesson. Range of tasks increases in difficulty. Starter, challenge and extension task provided. Materials required pencils, rubbers and coloured pencils.

I have created a huge PowerPoint presentation with over 45 starter or plenary activities for your art classes. The activities are all art-related and can be used in KS3 or KS4 art lessons, either as entry tasks, starters, plenaries or exit questions. Sometimes I put the question on the board at the start of the lesson then come back to it at the end. The slides are made up of questions, challenges, thought prompts, image analysis, riddles, true or false competitions, thunks and more. Some are very general so can be used across any class or topic, and some are more specific and related to different art movements - for example, Pop Art or Graffiti. You can use the slides to generate discussion or have students discuss things in groups/pairs etc. I have made them to be as adaptable to your lessons/teaching as possible.

This lesson was created for the beginning of year 9/10 GCSE art. Students develop a range of drawing skills using different media and surfaces. The lesson is broken down into different activities and includes starter activities, examples and graded success criteria using the new 1-9 system. The lesson was graded outstanding when I delivered it and students were able to produce some excellent outcomes. Enjoy!!

Art and Design - This shading task is a great way to help students improve their shading techniques. This lesson works best when techniques are modelled on a visualiser. I have taught this lesson for students aged between 12-16. It is challenging but very enjoyable. This resource include the printable worksheet and and an example of a completed piece

This simple textiles art project is ideal for teaching younger students as it is really short but engages students by giving them lots of choice in their work. Students love the bright colours, the different shaped stitches and, of course… the sweet, sugary subject! Students learn basic hand stitches: running, back, chain, French knot and have the option to learn more if they can. The outcomes are so fun and students loved using the felt tips on the fabric. The presentation includes lesson starter activities, plenaries, reflections etc. and breaks down the steps into really simple to follow instructions. There are links to appropriate artists and links to free handouts to use too.

This was a mini topic that I did with a Year 5/6 class but it would work throughout Key Stage 2. It spanned two afternoon sessions and could easily be lengthened to create more of a topic. Pupils discover the key features of Aboriginal art and then go on to explore and record their own ideas before producing a final Aboriginal-style piece. Plenty of opportunity is given to evaluate their own and others work. The resource includes: Teaching plans for two lessons PowerPoint presentation (15 slides) Simple pupil planning sheet Aboriginal symbols reference sheet The topic provides good coverage of the 2013 National Curriculum for Art and Design (links are highlighted in bold on the planning). Planning and resource sheets are Word documents and fully editable. Makes for a lovely display at the end!

Compiled for our school - these are the progression of skills through the processes of art. Each half term we create focused teaching on one of these processes. Although inevitably some of these objectives will be met in cross curricular opportunities or other subjects. But we don't rely on that and so use this as a guide.
