Clipping masks are an integral part of Graphic Communication. Whether the shape being clipped is a letter as in manipulation of type/fonts or, a shape, the simple process can feel overly complicated for students embarking on a new process. These two worksheets provide the same information in a slightly different way to support differentiation of ability and possibly age.

12 individual sheets exploring different themes and contexts to support the independent work of students in KS5. Core Themes such as Portraiture, Landscape and sculpture are interwoven with the work of artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, William Kentridge, Frida Khalo, J. W. M. Turner, Kurt Schwitters, Auguste Rodin, Marcell Duchamp, Cindy Sherman, Julie Mahretu, Lubaina Himid, Antony Gormley, and Ai Weiwei. Reouces might be useful to high achieving KS4 students too. The Price reflects that AI has been used to support the development of this resource.

Exploring Assessment Objectives through the deconstruction of existing designs in a hypothetical project/brief. The deconstruction of the Lazy Garlic brand design and representation of it through the design process, aims to support students understanding of context before they embark on their own project work; either their extended project/unit 1 portfolio work or, their unit 2, externally assessed project.

A document designed to support students organisation and time management through their exam/extended piece of work. Students are asked to complete their resources required and plans for the first quarter of their time in advance of the session - encouraging focus on this supports their engagement and preparedness for their final sessions whilst identifying the resources thy might need in advance. Students could be given two of these documents, one to be completed fully in advance of the session and the second to be used as a review of intentions and structure possible extension work. In my experience, students always complete more than they anticipate and this document helps scaffold their ideas and intentions without unexpected events becoming stressful (The unexpected event of having more time than expected etc).
