An example of a simple analysis framework which I laminate and use for GCSE and A level Art Textiles when they are tasked with analysing the work of other artists, designers and craftspeople. Free resource but please leave a review :)

This quiz can be a quick starter, mini or plenary activity for Year 9 or Year 10. It can be done on a scrap piece of paper whereby the students just answer A,B,C or more formally where it is written up and printed for them to complete. Students can then self/peer assess. The quiz is linked to requirement of the National Curriculum KS3 in Art and Design. The quiz is specifically designed at addressing the section which deals with understanding, evaluating and analysing creative artworks using language and terms of art, craft and design. Helping students understand the language of art at KS3 will be very beneficial to GCSE and A level. It will not only enable them to talk confidently about their own work and the techniques and materials they have used, but will also allow them to critically evaluate the work of other artists using appropriate terminology. This ‘vocabulary of art’ will grow and develop over time, as students learn about new and unfamiliar media and techniques, practice applying them to their own work and recognise structures and techniques in the art they encounter in their studies. The wider and more proficient their vocabulary in this area, the better-equipped they will be to annotate sketchbooks, critique their own work and that of others and, ultimately, talk with confidence about their inspirations and opinions of art work.

A worksheet aimed at KS3 for a cover lesson, extension task etc.

A presentation which supports a double textiles lesson, linked to the WJEC Fashion and Textiles specification. The lesson content covers the topic of Technology Push and Market Pull from the Core Theory 2.1.1. The presentation is supported with a booklet which you can find on my TES page.

I was asked by a Science teacher to create some Global Warming posters for a display board / lunchtime club. Being a Design Technology teacher I have no use for them so thought I would share the resource for FREE. Hope they save a fellow teacher some time and are useful.

This will sound so random but here we go. I have a lady who supports my lessons who is an ex science teacher. She is also a member of the womens institute and quite often asks me to create her Science posters for her WI events. Rather than me deleting them I thought I would upload as they may come in useful for Science as a classroom poster etc.

A worksheet that could be used for cover or an extension task on safety rules in the Food Technology Room.

A handy revision knowledge organiser for WJEC DT core theory on new and emerging technologies. Free resource but please leave a review :)

A word bank which I have created for my ‘ALN’ groups workbooks. It saves displaying them on the board and I use it to help develop their oracy skills - talk like a food critic.
