Six powerpoints containing 453 slides covering 202 artists and graphic designers (the majority are contemporary) collected and categorised ready to use. The slides contain high quality images for each artist covering a broad spectrum of their work. They can be used for stimulus for a project or to support a student’s coursework in a particular theme. I have collected and used these over the past 15 years with GCSE and A level Art and Design students to provide them with appropriate artists for their coursework and exam projects in order to cover their critical and contextual reference. The categories covered are: Abstract Artists – powerpoint with 43 slides covering 13 artists Animals and Nature Artists – powerpoint with 73 slides covering 34 artists Landscape and Cityscape Artists – powerpoint with 57 slides covering 26 artists People and Portrait Artists – powerpoint with 151 slides covering 69 artists Still Life and Object Artists – powerpoint with 78 slides covering 32 artists Typographers and Graphic designers – powerpoint with 61 slides covering 28 artists If you use this resource and find it helpful, please leave a positive review.

Tried and tested GCSE mini project for creating a still life piece of Art and developing it in the style of Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein. Developed to be perfect for distance learning including a 6 page booklet with everything students need. There are a huge range of artworks and examples of students’ work included in the project. This project contains three tasks to learn about Roy Lichtenstein, to create a still life drawing and then to develop that drawing into a piece that has aspects of Lichtenstein’s style. It is tried and tested as a way to develop a student’s coursework with some experimentation of technique and could easily form the inspiration for a larger project. This project should take students 6 – 8 hours and could easily be adapted for KS3. If you find this resource useful, please leave a positive review, thanks :)

Help for a new head of an Art and Design department: a calendar of all of the tasks that are essential to the smooth running of the department. These include when to make orders, what actions are needed for exam groups and exam boards and when they are needed, when to focus on the management of staff, and when to plan for trips in the year among many others.

Our whole curriculum overview for years 7 -13, praised by OFSTED, comprehensively covering a wide range of skills with each year group and building on them in each subsequent year. This is an example of what you could do with your own department in terms of curriculum provision. It is also an example of the sort of document that you could refer to in any meeting with an OFSTED inspector and could easily be tweaked to contain your own current provision. The last column was particularly praised where each unit of work at KS3 is clearly linked to GCSE and A Level specifications and marking criteria.

A 2D Abstract Art project that would take between 4 and 6 lessons and could even be the basis of a much longer project based on the work of Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, and Paul Cezanne. Students create a number of drawings of teapots and still life, then they spend time changing the shapes, forms, and colours, and add pattern to turn those initial drawings into abstract Art. Students are encouraged to abstract the shapes etc. as much as they wish and it is reinforced that there isn’t a wrong answer when it comes to Abstract Art. This project could be used to teach KS3 students or KS4 students. If you find this resource useful, please leave a positive review :)

A complete project for Art, design and technology covering about 10 lessons. The project takes students through designing a logo, designing a font, then creating carrier bag for a shop they choose themselves. The project could be used for KS3 but could also be used to start a piece of GCSE coursework for Art and Design or Graphic design. There are opportunities to analyse logo designs and look at the evolution of logo designs alongside the designing work. The project includes lots of visual resources and clear step by step instructions and could even be used by a non specialist teacher. The powerpoint has 94 slides.
