Surely one of the first things that students need to be taught is how their work will be assessed. This Back to School support for students sorts that out. Do you find it hard to explain to students what the AQA A level Art Assessment Objectives mean? Do your students find the language of the AOs confusing? If so, this resource will help. A 9 slide presentation which goes through each AO in turn clearly explaining in student friendly language what they mean. Designed to be print friendly so that it can be given to students as a handout. I have used this resource with my own students to great effect. I hope that it helps you too.

A 25 slide presentation that clearly explains to students the importance of meeting the Assessment Objectives. In particular, this resource emphasizes the need to generate original and thorough ideas. Through notes and visuals the slide-show shows how ideas link to all four Assessment Objectives.

Work has been praised by the moderators for being original, thorough and clearly meeting the requirements for the AQA specification.

Great fun at the end of term. Get kids colouring with these beautiful original designs. Also many children and adults suffer from stress and anxiety at times. An over busy brain makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks and the feelings associated with anxiety can cause distress and further anxiety. Recent research suggests that activities which focus the mind without being overly taxing can help break the cycle of worry and anxiety and can help calm the busy mind. One such activity is colouring. This resource provides 40 original hand drawn kaleidoscopic images. The repetitive nature of the patterns is intentional, encouraging the individual to settle into a calming routine. Drawings range in complexity, making it a suitable resource for all age groups, including adults. I hope that enjoyment and a sense of calm at the end of term can be found by using this resource.
