A very quick and simple starter activity to refresh pencil tone skills and knowledge. Perfect for KS3 Art & Design classes.

I created a huge number of Artist research factsheets during my PGCE. The information for these was all found on the internet (please note I have not reworded any, merely copied and pasted). The idea behind the factsheets was to have a bank of resources for reference, both for myself and for students. I have printed all of these out and have them in separate folders (relating to style of art/design). I have made great use of them during my time teaching in a young offenders institute, and the learners like to select their own designers for inspiration to develop their ideas. This bundle contains: Textiles Artists I also will be uploading: Photographers, Graphic Designers, 3D Artists, Street / Graffiti Artists, Conceptual Artists, Illustrators, Traditional and Modern Fine Artists and Installation Artists. Feel free to contact me with any questions

A PDF containing a range of portrait photographers with examples of their work. I designed this to inspire GCSE Year 10 pupils at a previous school. I have also added an abstract photographer PDF file as well (separate upload)

A series of worksheets (all in one PDF) created to develop learner understanding of colour theory and colour schemes. The worksheets have been designed for use in a young offender institute, and so the subject is aimed at teenage boys. These would work as a cover lesson, homework or taught lesson activity. Feel free to ask any questions.

A series of worksheets I have produced to develop learner knowledge of the influences and contexts surrounding the creation of graphic design and art. These were designed to meet part of the assessment criteria for Unit 02 of the NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design, however they would suit mainstream KS3 and KS4 as homework, cover lesson worksheets or starters. Feel free to ask any questions.

This is a full unit of work for the NCFE Level 2 Certificate / Diploma in Creative Media (Graphic Design). I wrote it to deliver within a young offender setting and it works really well for 15-18 year old learners that are low ability. I have included pretty much all of the corresponding worksheets for the unit in this bulk resource. Prior to me writing the qualification, I found very little resources for the NCFE quals so hopefully this will support others now! I have also uploaded: NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design Unit 01 - Visual Unit 02 - Influential Unit 03 - Rebrand Unit 04 - Create NCFE Level 2 Certificate / Diploma in Creative Media (Graphic Design) Unit 02 - Minimalist (this unit) Unit 04 - Typo Unit 07 - Communicate Unit 08 - Illustrate The NCFE EQA approves of the formatting for the unit booklets and finds them very easy to quality assure. Feel free to message me with any questions. I have recently modified the resources to remove all youth justice reference. If you require any changes, please feel free to contact me nataliesheldon86@outlook.com

A series of design movement worksheets I have created for use in my lessons. I use these alongside the NCFE Level 1/2 in Graphic Design, however they would work well in KS3 and GCSE curriculum, perhaps as a homework task. Would suit Art & Design, Graphic Design and Design Technology subject areas. Have also uploaded some more Graphic/Design/Technology based worksheets of the same style.

I created these slips for learners on my course to demonstrate how they have embedded literacy and/or numeracy into their graphic design This is a big push within young offender learning and it helps the learners to understand the relevance of core subjects within pathways and the real world Happy to edit the PDF for other subject areas - please just contact me!

A series of key words / terminology displayed in categories relating to Art & Design, Photography and Graphic Design Taken from the AQA GCSE website Perfect blown up on display - can be copied onto coloured paper for effect, or even placed in sketchbooks as a daily reference

A series of displays I created for my classroom Colour theories, Pantone and Swiss Design I use these in my young offender Graphic Design classroom but they would work in any creative environment

A set of worksheets relating to different graphic designers Each one encourages the learner to consider the designer and the reasons behind the given example, with reference made to the visual elements of design Work well with the NCFE Creative qualifications, but would also work as a homework task for mainstream KS3 / KS4 Art & Design based subjects

A series of resources I designed for a KS3 (Year 8) mixed ability Art & Design class. The theme of the scheme of work was African Plank Masks Resources included: starter, two homework tasks, artist study and presentation with basic stages Feel free to ask me any questions I tended to group learners strategically to support with SEN, behavioural difficulties and to challenge those that are higher ability

A learner friendly peer feedback slip designed for use in an Art & Design lesson (with a project focused around Robots, however the design is very neutral and suitable for a variety of subject areas!) A great tool for formative assessment and a way to encourage learners to work together and respect each other (British Values).

A series of worksheets designed to encourage higher order thinking in the classroom I currently use these with young offenders, however they would work just as well in a mainstream classroom I designed them with a creative subject area in mind (given that I deliver Graphic Design), however they could work in other subjects as a creative and cross-curricular starter!
