Formal Elements Glossary - printed onto a colour wheel! File size is A3 - I’ve printed and laminated mine to use on tables every day. Great for starters and plenaries as well as written analysis.

This lesson tied in with our GCSE cultural mask scheme of work. Students photographed a mask, then imposed it onto a person of their choice. Students learn about layers and various tools within photoshop. (Also great for teachers who need to improve their own understanding!)

1 Hour that covers quick sketches and longer sustained drawings. All tasks can be diffrentiated easily. Longer tasks focus on tone, scale and line. Students improve skills and gain a deeper understanding of the formal elements.

I used this with a year 10 class and they loved it. Students will learn how to: Duplicate layers Rotate layers Flip layers Merge layers Alter hue and saturation ... in order to produce stunning repeat patterns, later used for surface design project.

A painting practice lesson, which focuses on pressure and detail. Students will learn about the relationship between line and pressure - and how to use this to their advantage.
