A guide to help GCSE students achieve top grades. The presentation includes tips on how to present work, how to respond to artists, and how to develop ideas in response to a theme. The assessment objectives are explained in a simple way and there are a good quality examples of level 9 visuals, sketchbook pages, planning pages and studio pieces. There is a list of helpful websites on the final page. The guide is based on Edexcel GCSE Art but it can be helpful for any GCSE students who want to improve their skills and develop ideas. I have been using this for years with my students and I have taught a range of different curriculums with excellent results.

A unit presentation for an entire MYP4 (grade 9) Design animation unit, full of specific tasks for the chosen strands, multiple animation tutorials, MYP design videos, examples of student work, GRASPS, statement of inquiry, global/key/related concepts, factual/conceptual/debatable questions. I have taught this unit multiple times with excellent results. This is 39 slides long and students have found all of the videos and tutorials really helpful. If you are new to the MYP this will save you a lot of time.

An MYP Visual Art unit presentation with research tasks and instructions for criteria A, design ideas for criteria B, printmaking instructions for criteria C and some reflection tasks for criteria D. In this unit grade 6 students researched Egyptian Art, came up with ideas for an Egyptian style block print, carved a polystyrene block to create the printing plate and then created a series of multiple layered prints (for criteria C) I suggest using thin polystyrene blocks with grade 6, however the unit can be adapted for grade 7 and lino blocks can be used for prints which are more refined and detailed.

Unit presentation slides (32 slides in total with specific tasks) for a Visual Art unit based on portraiture. There are summative tasks for each of the 4 criteria, along with images, information, Art History, and ceramic video tutorials. In this unit students explore the human face and figure through drawing, mono printing, painting and ceramics. The final outcome for criteria C is an expressive ceramic portrait which is then painted with acrylic paint (however this can be adapted for glazing) There are guiding questions for the criteria A research summative and the criteria D reflection summative. I did this with grade 8 however it can work with grade 9!
