Black History Bundle

Here is a bundle of six Black History creative lessons/ activities. The details for each lesson and resources are as follows: Art & Black History Mary Seacole Research Activity Sheet - Key Stage 2 & 3 This resource includes a variety of tasks related to the Black History heroine Mary Seacole, in an art and history worksheet format. Students are to create an art & history research page on Mary Seacole, including a portrait of her inspired by the style of the artist Shepard Fairey. The sheet is designed to be as visual and interactive as possible with prompting questions and tasks. There is an outline image of Mary Seacole for students to add further drawing details and create her portrait using the style of Shepard Fairey for inspiration. There is reference to Fairey’s ‘Obama’ poster design to give an exemplar of the artists style. This is one PDF document which can be printed A4 or A3, whichever suits the needs of your students. This resource pairs particularly well with my Black History Mary Seacole Knowledge Organiser, which is also included in this bundle. Art & Black History Shade by Numbers Portrait Drawing Activity Sheet - Key Stage 2 & 3 This resource is designed to teach students how to use varying shades of TONE to begin to demonstrate FORM in their drawings. This sheet mostly focuses on the Formal Elements LINE, TONE, FORM and SHAPE in a step-by-step ‘shade by numbers’ portrait drawing of the famous Martin Luther King Jr. It can be used for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 students. On the sheet, there is the learning objective, task instructions and a tone bar starter task for students to attempt using their varied tonal shading in pencil, before beginning the main task. The main task has a numbered outline portrait template of MLK, and also a completed shaded reference picture for students to refer to when applying their varied shading sections. There is also some brief information explaining who MLK was, along with one of his poignant quotes. This is one PDF document that can be printed A4 or A3, whichever suits the needs of your students. This sheet has been designed to be used within a scheme of work but is also suitable for a one-off lesson (or a couple of lessons), and/or cover session(s). It takes approximately two lessons to complete if being produced to a high standard. I usually print this resource on A3 cartridge paper and my students work directly on the sheet. Their sheets are then stored in an A3 portfolio with integrated clear wallets to record and store their project journey in a professional folder.

Questions include: When and where was I born? Why was my life considered adventurous? How would you describe my personality? What did I do to help the sick and injured soldiers? What was my nickname? Who taught me about healing and medicine and where did I learn? I was forgotten in history for many years, why do you think that was? In what year was I voted The Greatest Black Briton? Why did the War Office not allow me to travel to Crimea and help the injured soldiers? Students can add their own decorations or creative touches once the questions are completed. This is one PDF document which can be printed A4 or A3, whichever suits the needs of your students. This resource also pairs particularly well with my Black History Mary Seacole Knowledge Organiser resource included in this bundle.
