This PowerPoint was written for a KS3 transition session with a group of SEN students but would be suitable for all groups. The topic is alternative drawing, and there are a range of short drawing tasks that focus on being creative rather than perfect or accurate in order to build confidence.

This resources is a double sided A3 learning mat which breaks down the AOs for students, highlighting what they need to do to be successful in each area. A particularly good resource for encouraging students to push for higher grades. Colourful, clear and student friendly, my classes have responded well to this resource and found it useful!

This document features four different peer/self assessment tables, each pre-filled with different medals and missions ready to be highlighted as appropriate, ensuring good quality feedback. They cover giving feedback on taking photographs, editing photos, artist research and annotations/evaluations. Mainly aimed at GCSE photography students but could be suitable for A-level.

This has been a really successful scheme of work. Students engaged with it really well, partly due to the variety of artists that I presented to them but also due to the potential for an abstract approach to the project. We did a lot of clay in this project, including a day with an artist which is something I'd highly recommend if you have the budget. The SOW is broken down by week, giving tasks linked to AOs, Skills focus and extensions for HPA. In addition to the SOW, I've also included a worksheet with artist images on that I used for this project.

This is a good worksheet to go along with teaching students the difference between SLR and DSLR cameras. There’s a table to summarise the differences, positives and negatives, a table to input the meanings of key terms linked to them both, and an image of an SLR camera to be labelled.

A simple resource that supports students when mindmapping in art or photography. It breaks down the mindmap visually, giving prompts on what to include in order for a mindmap to be purposeful. Can be used as a slide on the board or printed as a colourful worksheet.

Four different self/peer assessment tables, encouraging students to reflect on their work and highlight strengths and areas for development.

All the resources you would need for a great display board on photography! Relevant to GCSE and A-Level. Includes: - photoshop techniques - photoshop tool bar - Formal elements photo examples and labels - Key words - Photos of different cameras - Different headings - App examples that students could use at home

3 pages of Photoshop techniques laid out in a table with screen shots, tool icons and step by step instructions on how to use each one. Student friendly for reference and encouraging independence, but not too wordy! Plenty of little tips along the way.

A student friendly powerpoint which encourages students to try out different methods of layering. Lots of examples and tips along the way to get students to be more creative with editing.

A student friendly SOW based on insects, with an A3 visual flow diagram to demonstrate the project overview with links to AOs as well as a task overview.

The idea behind this presentation is to encourage students to engage more in form time, and to take some ownership over what they do in the mornings whilst encouraging leadership skills. A good introduction with some tips and outlines to structure their sessions. I've previously used this with sixth form tutor groups but it would probably work with KS4 too.

I've previously used this with sixth form tutor groups, but they'd probably work with KS4 too. This presentation introduces the idea of students leading form time, each leading a different debate, along with a discussion on the purpose of developing debate skills.

This PowerPoint covers lots of different aspects of photography careers, from types of jobs to portfolios to potential wages. Clear information with some diagrams and visuals to support further. suitable for GCSE and A-level students.

This table structures the analysis of an individual photograph through the use of various prompt questions and scaffolds. Ideal for A-level students, and for pushing GCSE students to work at a higher level.

This powerpoint was written for my year 11 students who are doing a project on Distortion. After looking at the work of Suzanne Saroff, I wanted students to complete a photoshoot of a single glass, demonstrating how you can get a real variety of photos documenting distortion with a little creativity. Each slide includes examples of photos and key tips for success!

I made this for one particular student who had a very irritating habit of throwing her work away! It worked so well during the mock and GCSE exams, and she felt a bit special as I only gave it to her. Basically some silly quotes to refocus her, and doodle pages.
