It is broken down into four sections Initial Response Students are asked to record their initial thoughts and feelings towards an artwork Contextual Understanding Students are guided in carrying out research into the artist’s life and work. This helps them to examine the influences which shaped the creation and reading of a work of Art. **Formal Elements Students investigate the artwork by examining how the work has been made.

This resource is four A4 sheets which can be easily double printed and attached into student handbooks or sketchbooks. It can be broken down into different sections and used flexibly.

I taught this lesson, as part of a whole school Art day, to Key Stage 2 pupils (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6). The kids really loved it and added some very creative touches to their walls! This can be done in a single lesson or extended to cover two lessons. Students do pastel rubbings on black card, then add white pastel lines, to create a brick wall backdrop. Then, they trace over ‘graffiti style’ lettering (on A4 paper), to create their own ‘democratic’ words, to paste onto their brick wall. They will colour these in using the felt tip pens. I have detailed all the equipment needed in the flipchart and given lots of photos to guide you through each stage of the artwork. I’ve also included templates for the graffiti lettering.

Track your students progress for each assessment object, input marks for each AO and see how many marks they need to pick up to move grades. Show it to the students to enable them to see what they need to improve, it is a powerful and motivating way to keep students engaged! There are 2 spreadsheets, one for marks and the other: a colour coded tracker. I put this up at the beginning of each GCSE lesson to help the students see what they need to do. It works!

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. The artwork used in this lesson is Franz Marc’s “Regen”, however the skills can be applied to any piece.

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.
