I have created a huge PowerPoint presentation with over 45 starter or plenary activities for your art classes. The activities are all art-related and can be used in KS3 or KS4 art lessons, either as entry tasks, starters, plenaries or exit questions. Sometimes I put the question on the board at the start of the lesson then come back to it at the end. The slides are made up of questions, challenges, thought prompts, image analysis, riddles, true or false competitions, thunks and more. Some are very general so can be used across any class or topic, and some are more specific and related to different art movements - for example, Pop Art or Graffiti. You can use the slides to generate discussion or have students discuss things in groups/pairs etc. I have made them to be as adaptable to your lessons/teaching as possible.

Summary: In this lesson students learn how to analyse any artwork by looking in detail at media, composition, context, view point, subject matter, to name a few.

Follow our step-by-step guide to reading portraits, aimed at key stages 3-5. Learn to analyse how artists use different portrait elements, techniques and media to communicate mood, feelings and ideas by looking closely, and asking questions: https://www.npg.org.uk/schools-hub/how-to-analyse-a-portrait Description At first glance, a portrait can appear to simply be a picture of a person or people.

Students are introduced to the topic of energy by analysing research articles and creating a Wordle cloud. Wordle is a free word art tool that crunches any chunk of text and produces a visual representation of the content. The resulting word could emphasise the most common words by amplifying their size based on frequency. Students will increase their knowledge of subject-specific vocabulary and use this knowledge to create an energy limerick.
