This is a PDF helpsheet I created to support lower-attaining students to write a GCSE level artist/designer analysis more independently during lessons or for homework. It could also be used at KS3. Each sentence has a gap with a number which corresponds to a particular word bank on the same page. Students can select from the relevant word bank to build an analysis following the Content, Form, Process, Mood format (common with GCSE Art and Design: Textiles/Fine Art).
