GCSE Art Gallery Visit Resource for teachers to share with their students. Created for my Y10 GCSE Art students ahead of our gallery visit to find artist inspiration for their Y11 Personal Portfolios. The first page gives space for details on arrival/departure times and student/teacher groups. The second page is a site-specific map of the Tate Modern. The third page details the Personal Portfolio task to be completed whilst visiting the gallery. The fourth page, includes guidance and questions to help students consider the art on display and how it may influence, impact their final coursework project. Editable PDF to help students make the most of their gallery visit. This version is tailored to the Tate Modern, London but could be adapted to another venue.

Are you taking students to an art gallery? If so, this resource might help. It explains to students how to behave in a gallery setting and how to really get the best from the experience. A series of tasks ensure that students fully engage with the artwork and collect valuable information through note taking, photography and sketching that can then be expanded upon once back in the classroom. Ideal for Key Stage 3 and GCSE Art students. The resource is print friendly and can be given to students as a work book to use in the gallery. 17 pages.

This worksheet has been designed for gallery visits. There is a space in the middle to make a sketch. It asks the following questions: Your Name Title of Artwork Name of Artist What have you looked at? What media has the artist used? what colours has the artist used? What kind of marks or techniques has the artist used? What kind of shapes and forms can you see? How does the artwork relate to other artworks in the exhibition? How does the artwork make you feel? The same worksheet is uploaded as a .jpg and pdf. I'm not sure why you can only see the top part of the pdf. When you download it, it is all there - I have checked!! Keywords: gallery visit, gallery education, analysing art, visiting galleries, gallery activities.

This package includes a lesson plan and a wealth of images and templates to carry out 4 different art activities. We spent the full day focusing on art from different artists such as Picasso Monet Romero Britto and many more. The learning objective is: How do I create different tones of one colour using different media, exploring shape and pattern? Success Criteria: I can discuss the work of artists. I can mix paint to create different shades of blue. I can keep the colours clean by using a clean brush to mix. I can make an observational drawing I can combine pastel colours to create an illusion of colours mixing. I can create a repeating pattern using tone to add depth. Children will create 4 different art pieces using many different techniques all based around our theme of the colour blue.

This presentation contains 20 slides of resources for Educational Visits for GCSE and A-Level Art and Photography students. I have included help sheets, task sheets and examples for lessons / visits -that I have used to aid my teaching over the last 10 years.

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! Please note that as the grade boundaries change you may need to alter some of the formulas.

A teaching resource for art/photography teachers and facilitators that can be adapted from school up to university level, that has been developed from my twenty years of knowledge and experience as a photographer and visual arts teacher. Going to look at artwork is a key part of a creative experience and project, and students may not know how to record this so it is well linked to their own projects, ideas and thinking. This is a good worksheet/guide to use on a visit and for students going on independent trips. Do let them have access to this resource in plenty of time before you/they go and go through it with them to answer questions they may have. Add/change as you need. This is drawn from my years of experience as a practicing photographer and visual arts/photography teacher and has been freshly updated in August 2025. Do not resell or reuse (outside of a teaching scenario) any of the content of this lesson or resource.

At my own department we have printed a copy to A1 for each classroom and for the corridor in the department.** If you found this resource useful, please leave a positive review :) Thanks**

Art of the American Soldier: Stories from the Soldiers encourages students to deepen their appreciation of war art through watching and listening to veteran war experiences. Students are then asked to point out details in the artwork they had not previously noticed before listening to the veteran war stories. Art of the American Soldier: Comparing and Contrasting Photography and Painting in War Art encourages students to use photography to analyze artwork for details regarding the historical context of 20th and 21st century wars and conflicts.

Social story to help children to know what to expect at a visit to the dentist to ease any anxiety prior to their visit. The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.
