Pupils of KS3 will be able to use the grid to create inspirational Mandala designs whilst considering the formal elements of art. She resource caters for those of all abilities with guided starting points and examples.
This resource allows students to develop skills in intricate design and symmetry. Pupils become engrossed in the ‘zentangle’ patterns and learning to apply them to the template to define bug features through contrast.
With the Ofsted focus on curriculum and the retention and recall of information - this resource provides some creative ideas on how to embed this into lessons. Templates are attached for ease and distribution to staff and ideas are supported with transferable instructions to share across subject areas.
An alternative idea to get students to summarise a unit of work - get them to work in small groups to create a lesson plan on one of the units studied in class. They can then plan the lesson using the template provided and deliver it to the rest of the class (and yourself as the teacher). A lesson reflection is also provided yo give feedback.
