Norman Conquest The aim of this lesson is to judge how powerful Doom Paintings were in Medieval Britain. Students will be posed questions to answer, such as why was the Church so important in medieval society and why did people find it so hard to ignore its messages of doom and gloom? Students will learn how Doom paintings were a powerful propaganda tool in the Church’s message over its illiterate masses. Students will examine various paintings and video footage to give an in-depth analysis of their messages. They will then be required to transport themselves into the medieval era and create an extended written piece to express the impact these Medieval Doom paintings were having on their way of life. There is a peer assessment activity to complete and success criteria to help them if required. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end using a rate ‘o’ meter to show the progress of learning. The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.

This is a colour theory scheme of work based on the artist Kandinsky. Students create a series of paintings whilst listening to different styles of music, experimenting with line, shape, composition and colour. I designed this to engage KS3 boys in painting, so the focus is on the use of colour to convey mood, rather than trying to create very precise, small paintings. This is a full scheme of work with starters, entry tasks, peer and self assessments throughout. All of the outcomes are differentiated and there are examples of students work at each stage. There are links to artists, artist research pages and links to the music I chose for students to paint to. I designed it to last a full term, but you can alter it and use it however you wish.

This is a pre-intermediate (CEFR B1, IELTS 5.0) EFL Speaking class about painting. Students first describe paintings before discussing basic questions about painting. Target language (brush, canvas, portrait, frame, sketch, pallet) is shown using pictures. Students discuss further.

A selection of slides to introduce students to the portrait paintings of Lucian Freud. The first task is a digital based tutorial which walks students through a low poly tutorial to create a geometric self portrait. This allows students to consider the face in a 3D format and appreciate the full range of skin tones within any face. Students then move on to applying these various tones by mixing colours and painting over their digital piece. Finally, students are encouraged to work in the style of Lucian Freud to complete their own expressive self portrait. They should be able to apply the skin tones and contour directions from tasks one and two to complete their piece.

This full pattern painting scheme of work is inspired by artist William Morris. There are over 70 slides on the presentation, and it goes through many aspects of creating a repeated reflection design using tracing paper. The project introduces students to the work of William Morris, different types of pattern repeats and colour theory. It builds on basic colour theory and introduces secondary, tertiary, monochromatic, analogous and complementary colour schemes. The presentation includes a slide explaining the project aims and each lesson has clear tasks set. The projects is designed to build students’ skills in painting each lesson, with all lessons having starter / entry tasks and plenaries included. There are lots of examples of high quality student work at each stage of the project. There are also challenges included and printable resources (slides with white backgrounds so they are easy to print and copy) to use in the lessons.

I use this as a termly competition I have run with all classes. It allows students to be very creative whilst practicing how to plot equations and graphical inequalities. I have included a sample image with instructions to show them what you can create. The great thing about this task is it works with all ability levels as the picture can be as simple or complex as the person wants. Higher level groups and older students can start using quadratics, cubics and trig graphs to add more detail. Kind of a fancy etch a sketch really. A brilliant way to show people how creative and beautiful maths can be.

This powerpoint explains the style of Tingatinga and then includes and activity where they use the style of Tingtinga to create their own paintings in his style.

This is a single task with a You tube tutorial I made to demonstate how coffee can be used as an alternative to paint. This is great as a home learning task as it gives students the option to create a piece of art without the need for paints, using something they proably have at home. To video demos the drawing of a shell and tonal detail added with coffee.

All fixed! (in case you downloaded the old version) Students use the 'round to 1sf' rule to estimate the answers to calculations and compare them to the actual answer. Comparing to the key they then assign a colour to each question. Finally, using the question numbers along with their colours they complete the grid at the top to get an image of superman. The image is not one that they will be able to figure out in advance.

A fun, engaging activity. Instructions are provided as well as examples. This can also be done as just a drawing.
