Why This Resource?

1. Save 10+ Hours of Planning: I’ve done the heavy lifting (researching artists, designing layouts, and structuring the journey) so you can focus on your students during this critical window.
2. A Level Rigour: This PowerPoint focuses on the early stages of development with the depth required for A Level, prompting students to consider their intentions and material choices carefully.

BONUS
This purchase includes my personally developed Art Annotation Guidebook (normally £3). I created this resource to hand out to my own students at the start of every academic year, ensuring they have their own copy to keep and refer to.

Versatile & Reusable: While tailored for 2026, the artist guides, handmade exemplars, and literacy tools are invaluable assets for future Schemes of Work (SoW) and coursework projects.

All content, language, and materials contained within this resource have been created by me. No work has been copied, reproduced from any AQA exam paper.
