Object, Still Life theme GCSE Art & Design project exam resources - Artist research, reference imagery and contextual research. 7 fully editable Powerpoint slides, packed full of imagery and ideas for an ‘Objects’ or ‘Still Life’ themed project at GCSE. 2 artist research slides with over 20 suggested artists and 5 slides of high quality research imagery, for drawing and reference, exploring sub-themes of: everyday objects, childhood and memories, tools/trades/construction and make-up. Originally created for use with the AQA Art, Craft & Design specification but could easily be adapted for use with other exam boards or specifications.

A Powerpoint looking at creating a motif design inspired by insects to use within a range of repeat patterns. This resource recaps knowledge from my ‘Intro to Repeat Pattern’ lesson and provides examples and worksheets for creating several different types of patterns by repeating a motif in a different way. You may wish to explain and demonstrate the use of tracing paper for repetition of an image, however, this has not been included in the Powerpoint. This resource is fully editable and has 7 printable worksheets.

A PowerPoint exploring the theme of ‘Groups & Collections’, with a focus on everyday objects, and developing the skill of first hand observational drawing. This lesson includes warm up drawings, step by step photos of building up shapes and forms and adding tones gradually, with helpful hints and tips. Also included within this Powerpoint is a simple guide to annotation. This resource could be easily edited to use as a stand alone lesson or used alongside my other ‘Groups & Collections’ resources to form the basis of a full project.

Under the Sea - Peter Clark Artist Study & fish collage activity worksheets, cover lessons or homework activities. Two worksheets included.

A full alphabet of good quality imagery for students to work from to develop their observational drawing skills. This powerpoint includes prompts and examples of how to build and develop a drawing from observation and would work brilliantly for Remote Learning or long term homework tasks. I originally created this resource as an independent summer task for Year 10 Art GCSE students who were starting a project called ‘Groups and Collections’ but the scaffolding and imagery could be used for any age group.
