Full introductory GCSE Art & Design presentation taking students through various digital and hands on tasks. All tasks link to the theme of Metamorphosis and includes workshop ideas, analysis tasks and development help towards an outcome.
Originally used during online distance learning last year, each student makes a copy of the presentation and adds work week by week to show development.
This was used for a pre GCSE Year 9 group to give a flavour of work which may be covered but could easily be used to begin a GCSE course or encourage online participation. Lots of media exploration and experimentation is encouraged, with consideration of equipment. Some tasks cover both digital and hands on art, focused on giving a taster of both GCSE Art and Photography course content.

Insect drawing
