Currently work in the Youth Justice Service developing programmes of intervention for young people in the service.
Past experience working as a teacher of Art and Graphics in a young offenders institute, teacher in alternative provision education specialising in SEMH & SEND, and mainstream secondary teacher of Design Technology and Art & Design.
I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.

These are a series of design movement influences sheets created for a unit of work that I am currently producing.
The unit of work is based around graphic illustration and the resources provide a series of design movements and explain how they have influenced illustration.
I will be laminating these for reference in class, however they would also work well on a display board.
I will also include these in the full resource for the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Creative Media (Graphic Design) - Unit 08
Feel free to ask me any questions!
A PDF containing a range of abstract photographers with examples of their work.
I designed this to inspire GCSE Year 10 pupils at a previous school.
I have also added a portrait photographer PDF file as well (separate upload)
I have started to create a bank of worksheets focusing on various designers / artists / illustrators. These stem from my initial design movement worksheets (also available on my account).
I use these worksheets to introduce young offenders (15-18) to a range of designers and artists. These worksheets could also be left as cover, or even set as a homework task to build learner knowledge and understanding. Each worksheet has two parts, the information sheet and the corresponding worksheet.
This bundle contains:
Aurelio Sanchez
Elena Gumeniuk
Rachel Bungey
Jimmy Turrell (X4 sheets)
I have tried to look at some more obscure and unusual examples to broaden knowledge for learners.
I will continue to upload bundles of between 5 and 10 sheets as I create them.
Please feel free to ask me any questions! Happy to make changes if needed :)
I have created a bundle for the full NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Creative Media (Graphic Design) units.
This bundle contains resources, booklets etc. for Units 02, 04, 07, 08. Completion of all four units allows the learner to achieve the full certificate. I am currently working on units to allow completion of the full diploma.
These have been updated for 2019/20 delivery.
The units have been designed by myself for delivery in a young offenders institute. I find them very popular and have seen good success rates with them.
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

Once I have created and uploaded them all I will create a bundle as well. I will also be creating a checklist so that as each sheet is completed, they can be ticked off.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and feedback!
I will be continually adding similar resources as I produce them.

It would work well as cover work, extended homework, or even during lessons as an introduction to typography.

These resources are from my PGCE. I taught Art & Design to a mixed ability Y8 group and chose to teach them about one point perspective and architecture.
I have included the SOW plus any resources I created, unfortunately I never got to fully see the unit through, however the group really enjoyed the topic.
Feel free to ask me any questions, I would love to hear from anyone that uses it!
This is one of a series of worksheets and factsheets I have created relating to Sneaker Collaborations.
Each worksheet & factsheet set will be uploaded and available individually, and I will also offer it as a bundle (which would make a great project in Art / Design Technology / Fashion / Graphic Design).
The sheets introduce lesser-known artists and designers, and feature on-trend sneaker styles.
These sheets would be great either as a project, cover work, homework tasks, or self-directed tasks! The possibilities are endless!
The worksheet combinations include:
Artists X Sneakers
Designers X Sneakers
Rappers X Sneakers
Brands X Sneakers
Extension Tasks > THIS RESOURCE
Feel free to ask me any questions.
