Do you find it hard to explain to students what the AQA A level Art Assessment Objectives mean? Do your students find the language of the AOs confusing? If so, this resource will help. A 9 slide presentation which goes through each AO in turn clearly explaining in student friendly language what they mean. Designed to be print friendly so that it can be given to students as a handout. I have used this resource with my own students to great effect. I hope that it helps you too.

A 25 slide presentation that clearly explains to students the importance of meeting the Assessment Objectives. In particular, this resource emphasizes the need to generate original and thorough ideas. Through notes and visuals the slide-show shows how ideas link to all four Assessment Objectives. I have used this resource with my own students with outstanding results. Work has been praised by the moderators for being original, thorough and clearly meeting the requirements for the AQA specification.

Students make a cupcake in each of the modern movement styles and make a cake stand at the end of the project. This is a set of powerpoints for each movern movement, Surrealism, Cubism, Expressionism, Neo-impressionism, Fauvism and Realism. It is a set of 8 lessons and then there is the Scheme of Work for the project. For each of the movements students learn a different technique: Surrealism- Splash Chance watercolour imaginary creature out of this to add to cupcake. Cubism - geometrical shapes to shade light to dark to create angular cupcake over a collage made of newspaper. Realism - Tonal realistic shading to capture 3D form. Expressionism-Black and white polyprint to capture the agitated marks of artists. Neo-Impressionism - using a stippling technique with paintbrush to capture fine mark-making. Fauvism- random use of arbitrary colour to capture the bright spontaneity of paint marks. At the end of the project students then choose a party theme and independently decorate their party plate with the cupcakes on this.

This complete unit of work explores the life and work of Rene Magritte; a Belgium born Surrealist painter. As the pupils examine a range of his work they will learn more about the Surrealist movement. To further deepen their learning pupils are expected to respond on a personal level to his work using the vocabulary of the visual arts to express their observations. During the practical response, pupils will develop their artistic skills and processes using a variety of media to communicate meaning and intent. The unit of work contains an illustrated Power point presentation that is useful for whole class discussions relating to the ideals behind this movement. A chronology of Magritte’s life that includes points of interest to bring greater understanding of the man as an artist. There is also an array of creative tasks that focus on selected works of art for pupils to respond to in their own unique way. This unit of work is easily adapted to suit the needs of individual teachers. It can be covered in-depth over half a term or dipped-into as required. The Surrealist movement originally arose in response to the written word/poetry and as such Magritte’s work is a brilliant way to inspire creative/descriptive writing. The work produced in response to the chosen paintings [art or writing] is always remarkable and as unique as each pupil. All illustrations used have been tagged with Creative Commons licenses.

This project is about ‘Mechanical Objects’ and links closely to the 3D Art and Design course. The unit has been written in detail to enable students to read each task independently but to also provide them with clear guidance supported by visual examples.

A thorough and detailed Powerpoint covering all tasks with written instructions and visual references. This has been written to support a broad range of ability at GCSE standard.

A detailed step by step project which includes written tasks with visual clear guidance. The Project links to the Assessment Objectives covered within the 3D Design Specification.

This lesson is based on one activity from a three day creative arts workshop I designed to ground a study of the science of seasons and solstices in the creative process. It presents three paintings of winter scenes to the students and asks them to explore them in small groups, referring to the elements of art. This activity places the student in the audience role; a curriculum requirement. This is designed for Stage 3 and 4 students. Critical thinking is required in both the role of critic, and in the extension activity, in the role of artist. This lesson is designed for a 1 hour block but could be extended over 2-3 hours with the extension activity. With some preparation, it is an ideal lesson to leave for a casual relief teacher.

This is a step by step drawing of a cupcake - showing how to start with basic shapes and then adding in the detail and the shading. This is part of the modern movements project where students make a cake stand with various cup cakes in different art styles linked to modern movements: Expressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Fauvism, Realism, Surrealism. It also has some slides showing how to do some mark-making exercises to build up students ability to control pencil skills and to capture detail. Students can also draw from a picture of a cup-cake or preferably have a real cup-cake in front of them to draw from. Students can also use the grid method to draw a cupcake and there is a picture of this technique to help.

This is part of a unit of work called Modern Movements - using cup cakes. This is the first lesson where students explore looking at what is modern Art? Students make a cupcake in different styles and in the end make a cake stand. This first powerpoint explores what is modern Art and looks at the various subjects of the past master paintings: Still-life, Landscape and Portraits.

This is a summary for files - a 5 min Scheme of Work to help with having all the essential information required. This is my project Modern Movements - cupcakes where students make a cupcake in various different modern art styles: Expressionism - black and white polyprint, Neo-Impressionism stippling and dots with paint or crayon, Fauvism - splash arbitrary colours and learn how to use water-colour, Realism - pencil shading accurately, Surrealism - make a magical fantasy creature like Miro to go on the cupcake. There is a Scheme of work for this unit.

A breakdown of the questions needed for students to breakdown Context of a piece - dipslayed in blocks , this can help students to research in “chunks” and is useful for learners who prefer a methodical way of working.

An aide memoire for students who need quick prompts for analysing work - especially Graphic Design - this can be printed A4 but best at A3 - I laminate the classroom copies. The areas are colour coded (ie Typography, Mood, Colour , composition ) to help guide the students visually. Hope this helps. I’ve found it really useful especially once the students have a grounding in analysis.

Having found I accumulated lots of different sheets on analysis , I decided to produce this ONE , 2 paged document which is comprehensive and comprises all the context and formal element prompts. It can be used in class or independently & students will be able to access it at different levels depending on ability. It can be printed off at A4 or A3 , double sided or not & I laminate these for classroom copies. The image shows the Formal Elements side - detailing prompts for Composition, colour, line, shape, image, typography, emotional impact whilst the “Context” side gives prompts for the wider questions around a piece (time, artist, location, social , historical etc) along with explanations of different graphic formats.

This worksheet explores the use of different media to create tone/value. It allows students to experiment with media including pencil, charcoal and marker to create shading to show form.

A useful worksheet to use for allowing students to develop their skills in apply tone/value to create form in drawings. This sheet focuses on the position of a light source to inform placement of shading. Suitable for upper primary to adults.
