This planning resource is designed to aid students in completing their final art or textiles outcome evaluation for their project. This sheet supports individuals through specific questioning and suggestions to consider and aim to meet the EDEXCEL assessment criteria within the summary of the piece, and ultimately their project overall. It can be used for Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 students. The sheet encourages students to annotate and plan their evaluation, discussing what their intentions were, explaining their ideas, artist inspirations and what medias, techniques and materials they used and explored throughout the piece. It gives the students the opportunity to communicate what the creative journey has been for the final piece. There is a colour/media/technique swatch samples section for students to create a visual dictionary of the medias and techniques used. There is also a useful key words section to help students answer the targeted assessment-linked questions and the assessment objectives are included for overall reference and purpose. The evaluation planning sheet sections are separated for specific focus and direction with students when used for discussion. This resource is one PDF file. This planning sheet has been designed to be used within GCSE and GCE schemes of work, but is also suitable for one off lessons. I usually print this resource on A3 and my students work directly onto the sheet to either make initial notes then type/neatly write up them up for their portfolios/sketchbooks, or they neatly complete the whole sheet and then add it as a page to their portfolio. The choice is left to the individual student in terms of managing their own presentation. I have created other GCSE and A Level planning, annotation, analysis and evaluation sheets, which you may wish to look at in my shop.

A resource for art students to support moving into a new year group or room and familiarising themselves with the class rules.

This sheet can then be put into sketchbooks or folders for future reference. It can be completed in one go, or used as an extension task in other lessons - I find this helps to remind students of expectations a differing intervals throughout the term(s). This is one PDF document which I personally print A3 size and store in the front of their A3 art portfolios, but can work just as easily printed as A4 also, whichever suits the needs of the group best. The sheet also includes quotes from three famous artists for further motivation and encouragement.
