A very thorough bank of comments covering almost every detail of Art and Design lessons to be used in end of year reports. Comments are sorted into him/he and she/her and are sorted according to task/Art media. For each activity/type of media, there are comments for what has gone well and what needs improving with the skill, along with general comments on the progress and comments for attitude and behaviour. The activities covered by these comments are: drawing, pencil colour work, painting, developing imaginative ideas, analysis and research, ceramics, printmaking, and understanding of art concepts and the formal elements. It could be used for any year of secondary Art and Design. It is a 12 ½ page document which includes over 7500 words. If you find this resource useful, please leave a positive review, thanks :)
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

A small project based on the artist Frida Kahlo that could be delivered by non specialists or to a greater depth by a specialist teacher. The powerpoint and resource sheet work together to direct student to learn about Frida Kahlo’s life , to analyse one of her paintings, and to create a personal response to her work. This could form teh beginning of a whole scheme of work based on her life and art. The resource contains a student friendly biography and a quiz based on her life.
