This is a supporting document for the AQA Fine Art 8202 externally set exam paper for June 2024. The questions are not written within this - you will need the exam paper to hand to use this document. You can download this document as a power point, enabling you to edit it and add in the titles next to each of the numbers and edit the artists / ideas as you wish.

8 lesson work sheets along with one lesson and supporting resources. Artists include Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Romero Britto, Ron Magnes, Roy Lichtenstein and Burton Morris. Each worksheet has a different task and encourages students to combine different artists styles / colour palettes together. I have been using these for a few years now (created by myself) and they are a great addition to a lesson when students finish a task early or as a homework task.

A collection of previous exam questions used for KS4 students to support their development throughout their Unit 1 portfolio. Each question is supported by images, a list of artists, keywords and things to consider when looking at each of the questions.

KS4 project titled ‘Fantastic & Strange’. These are the artists my Year 10 students are currently looking at and responding too. Expectations that each student creates a digital page on each artist as well as a double page in their sketchbooks. You can see how these pages transform into Art via my Twitter account @C21Art.

Artist focus on Yayoi Kusama, including a link to a video from the Tate website on her Infinity Rooms exhibition and two work sheets. My own examples are included within this too.

Fine Art AQA resources for June 2023. Please note you will need to also have access to the AQA exam paper to be able to identify the questions and summary. I have numbered them 1-7 and they match perfectly with the exam paper itself. No exam questions are written within this document, so it will only make sense if your exam board is AQA. This is Fine Art only. All artists were found on Pinterest.

A look at some of the similarities in Pop Art, focusing on the six artists we look at. Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Ron Magnes, Burton Morris, Keith Haring and Romero Britto. This resource links to my other Pop Art ones available to download.

This document supports the KS4 mock exam questions that are also available to download. The idea of this is to give students a starting point for each of the questions.

A page full of Art key words for students to have in their sketchbooks or uploaded onto Google classroom to use when writing about or describing their art work.

A list of museums / exhibits / galleries / destinations to visit that link with the 2023 AQA Fine Art exam paper.

Introduction to Pop Art, looking at six artists in total. This links perfectly with the Pop Art worksheets already available for download. Main task is to create a title page (over one lesson) on acetate using sharpie pens with the vision of creating a collage (example on the last slide)

A simple introduction to Van Gogh for KS3. This particular document was used for our lower band but could easily be adapted to suit the needs to HA students. First lesson - students use oil pastel and work on the slightly transparent image. Idea is that they simply experiment with making marks and practicing the direction of the marks. Second lesson - Teacher demonstrates under a visualiser on how to mix the various shades of paint and how to apply the markings using paints over pastels. Teacher works alongside the students, continues to model and check on students work / progress throughout the lesson. This task was also used for three Year 10 student’s (haven’t chosen art as an option) who are being educated in an alternative provision and simply used as therapy.

During lock down, I created a virtual trip for our students in Art and Design. Students were each given a digital copy via Google classroom and had a period of time to work on this document. It’s interactive and encourages students to research history, select images from different angles and learn about a different country and it’s culture. There are a variety of tasks that were a collaboration from Art, Photography and Music.

Artist focus lesson 2 (After Van Gogh) on Wassily Kandinsky with two tasks to complete as well as a work sheet. This has been created for a lower band, however could easily be adapted.
