A step by step guide for students and teachers, walking through the development of a thorough Art sketchbook at Middle and High school. This resource focusses on covering assessment objectives and helps students see how their work can evolve by making links between their observations, the artwork of recognised artists and media experimentation. An invaluable resource for all students but particularly effective for use with students struggling to grasp the requirements of exam level Art. This resource also provides the teacher with a clear methodology which can be adopted irrespective of the project theme. This original resource has been written by Mael Matthews, experienced Head of Art, professional artist and Senior Art Examiner. Over 30 instructional slides.

This resource provides visual inspiration for the development of seascape paintings. A wide range of photographs show the textures, colours and movement of rough seas. The slideshow then shows a range of paintings produced using a variety of techniques. each painting includes an explanation of how it was produced. All paintings were produced by the author, Mael Matthews. This resource could provide inspiration for students of all ages. The main message is that where painting is concerned, the only rule is that there are no rules! The resource also includes Mael's Twitter handle and he is happy to answer all direct questions about the paintings in this resource. Happy painting!

**We will be handing out the Art Textiles Component 2 papers in January **This printable resource provides clear, useful advice for students as they begin to develop their preparatory work. It includes the following. Introductory advice about how to develop work. Week by week plan to developing work. Checklist to help students ensure they are developing work that addresses the Assessment Objectives Final Outcome checklist to ensure that students clearly communicate their intentions - this is very helpful for the teacher, ensuring that all materials are ready. How to analyse artwork flow diagram. How to analyse their own work flow diagram. Student friendly explanation of what the Assessment Objectives actually mean. A fully editable letter to parents / carers explaining the requirements of this stage of the GCSE Art course. Also included is a fully editable step by step guide to developing a thorough sketchbook. Please note that the theme of the guide is different to the Component 2 questions because we are not allowed to reproduce the questions, but you will be able to very quickly edit the resource to link to whichever questions your students want. We hope that this resource helps get Component 2 underway and cuts your workload.

This seven minute long video provides clear demonstrations of 1 point, 2 point and 3 point (aerial) perspective. A great resource to clearly show students how to build up three dimensional drawings using guide lines. Really useful not only as an initial demo, but also to play on loop whilst students work, so that they can glance up and remind themselves of the techniques. This video resource has no narration - it is designed as visual support which the teacher can talk over the top of if necessary, however that is not necessary because it is self explanatory. The visuals are accompanied by background music.

This six minute long video provides clear demonstrations of how to draw steps in perspective. Two drawing demos show steps being drawn first from the front and then from an angle. A great resource to clearly show students how to build up three dimensional drawings using guide lines.

This video resource has no narration - it is designed as visual support which the teacher can talk over the top of if necessary, however that is not necessary because it is self explanatory.

These videos show students how to use the rules of perspective to develop their drawings. 1 point, 2 point and 3 point perspective are all covered. The activities are explained and demonstrated in a clear, straightforward manner. The videos can be used as the basis of a classroom lesson or alternatively could be sent to students who are currently in lock-down and having to do distance learning. There are 8 videos: An Introduction to 1 Point Perspective An Introduction to 2 Point Perspective An Introduction to 3 Point Perspective Draw a Winding Road using 1 Point Perspective Draw a Winding, Undulating Road using 1 Point Perspective Draw a House in 2 Point Perspective Draw Steps using 2 Point Perspective Draw a Countryside Scene using 1 Point Perspective

A huge resource comprising 13 separate slideshows of images to inform and inspire. Suitable for use with all age groups, this resource would be particularly useful for Art students, but would also provide visual stimulation more generally across the curriculum.

This huge visual resource offers 13 individual slideshows of photographic images. An ideal study aid for Art students, but equally suitable for use across the wider curriculum. Suitable for use with all ages.

Do you want to show students how Art education relates to the real world? This resource might help. Firstly you get 2 different schemes of work (2 different formats) which encourage students to engage in the built environment through drawing and mixed media work. Students get to learn about the rules of perspective through activities that have them recording built structures. They are then challenged to develop their own ideas using their new found 3D drawing skills. They are also engaged in the development of relief work with an architectural theme using cut card. The two schemes are provided as PDFs. Support is also provided through 7 demonstration videos. These cover the following. 2 videos on One Point Perspective An Introduction to 2 Point Perspective Draw Steps using Two Point Perspective Draw a House using Two Point Perspective 3 Point Perspective (Aerial Perspective) Relief Art using Card. Also included is slideshow of 100 architectural images for inspiration. We have included part of one of the videos in the preview section. All videos are presented by Mael Matthews, experienced Art teacher, Head of Department, Senior Art examiner, author and artists in his own right. We hope that this resource really help student see the importance of artistic skills in the world today … and might even help them decide on a future career in architecture! This resource is suitable for students aged 11 to 16.
