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.

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.

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.

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.

Students are then asked to point out details in the artwork they had not previously noticed before listening to the veteran war stories.

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.
