DT Lesson Bundle
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.

The “Annotation Worksheet” tailored for art and design students serves as a structured framework for critically analyzing and interpreting artistic works. Divided into sections, it prompts students to engage deeply with visual stimuli, encouraging them to identify key elements such as composition, color theory, and symbolism. Through guided exercises, students learn to articulate their observations and interpretations, fostering the development of analytical thinking and communication skills. Additionally, the worksheet encourages students to contextualize artworks within historical, cultural, and socio-political frameworks, fostering a deeper understanding of their significance. By incorporating space for personal reflections and connections, it empowers students to form meaningful insights and connections with the artwork. Ultimately, the Annotation Worksheet provides art and design students with a systematic approach to deconstructing and comprehending visual language, enriching their artistic practice and critical appreciation.

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. The artwork used in this lesson is Franz Marc’s “Regen”, however the skills can be applied to any piece. The aim is to support students to analyse their own artworks and those of other artists creatively and independently with artistic insight.

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. But by looking closely, and asking analytical questions, portraits can tell us so much more.
Portraits can tell us about:
the artist’s practice
the artist’s intention – why they chose to make the portrait in a particular way and what they are trying to say about the sitter
the sitter – their identity and personality, how they are feeling or what they are known for.
