I have used this project for a number of years with Year 8 groups. It is designed to introduce students to artifacts from a non European culture and develop their skills in 3D modeling techniques. Students also explore cultural reference to animals and develop skills in mark making when painting/drawing their animal as well as developing design skills when designing their own masks.

This is my example of my department vision.

A printable booklet that can be shared with GCSE Art and Design students. Contains help sheets about the course assessment criteria, tips about how to use different media, key terms and techniques as well as much more.

This is a fun photography based lesson that focuses on the use of leading lines for effective composition. The task sheet includes links to videos explaining the concept of leading lines and gives visual examples and key terms. Students are asked to take a series of photographs using their phone or camera look for leading lines around the home to create interesting compositions. This could be set as homework or for approximately a one hour lesson.
