This is a 'what if' lesson, asking students to use first impressions and then discover if their first impression is the one they would trust when they analyse further information. It can be a verbal activity or a written task, or however you want it.

You can print these as posters or as postcards, just by adjusting the settings on the print page from whole page to multiple. The Challenge cards work really well with Year 11 when they are struggling to put into words why a piece of work by another artist has inspired them. They can choose their own level of challenge.

Students can use these to discuss their own learning within the classroom and develop their own evaluations.

You can print these as posters, save them on a powerpoint or print them as flashcards. They are quick ways you can pull a plenary out of the air.

This is a resource I have made from activities I have collected and created in order to strengthen Art skills. Every Art activity a student does is marked according to three assessment objectives: A- Analyse and Record, R- Research and Develop, and T- Try and Text Techniques. When work is returned to the student, they can improve on their weakest area (in DIT time) by doing an activity from the document and marking off which one they have completed on their colour chart. There is an excel markbook to go with this resource, which helps you track student progress to the assessment objectives.
