An example of a simple analysis framework which I laminate and use for GCSE and A level Art Textiles when they are tasked with analysing the work of other artists, designers and craftspeople. Free resource but please leave a review :)

This is a one off cover lesson for KS3 DT Textiles aimed at Year 8 or 9. Please note that our students are allowed to use their phones to conduct research during lessons, which they will use to support questions 1-9. Students are tasked with designing a football kit for the world cup 2022 in Qatar (design a male/female kit). Lesson Objectives: • To be able to conduct a piece of research about a major event. • To be able to identify ‘care label’ instructions and recommend appropriate ones for an item of clothing. • To develop a sporting kit and explain all decisions made. There is also a very simple power-point which shows the Qatar logo in colour (resource printed in black/white to save money). As well as some basic information on care labels etc. I will update and jazz up the powerpoint when I get time and I will update this when it is done. Possible extension tasks could be to then design the shorts, socks a drawstring kit bag etc. Or an extension sheet on care labels?

FREE BUT PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW Quick Visual Elements Art Quiz which I have created for Year 7. Printed A5 as a quick starter activity.

I produced this leaflet a few years ago for an interview on ‘Decorating Fabric Techniques’. I thought it may be useful to share. I have also uploaded the editable version on publisher. I have also uploaded the presenation which I created however, it is very basic. Along with the fabric properties/senses/ keywords starter activity. I printed these A5 landscape on card double sided. I then put them into an envelope with the labelled fabric swatches. Free resource but please leave a review :)

This is a Year 6 Taster Day lesson based on the artist Jason Scarpace We photocopied a variety of fish templates onto A3 cartridge paper and also gave AMA students the opportunity to draw their own outline. They then used x3 different techniques (art/textiles) to add colour, texture and pattern to their templates in the style of Scarpace. This was our equipment list: • watercolour palettes • pencils • black fine liners • acrylic paint - all colours • paint palettes for acrylic • paint brushes • sponges, scrapers, glue spreaders, palette knives • Bubble wrap • brown paper (1m piece) • glue sticks • scissors (left and right) • colouring pencils • sharpeners & rubbers • newspaper • cardboard - selection of various pieces • sewing thread & needles - larger sized needles please & thread to match • two hair dryers

An Art Textiles Skills Task which introduces students to the technique of fabric slashing also known as stitch and slash. Students improve their confidence on the sewing machine which the use of the straight stitch foot exploring layers, use of pattern and colour theory.

A word bank which I have created for my ‘ALN’ groups workbooks. It saves displaying them on the board and I use it to help develop their oracy skills - talk like a food critic.

A great visual resource to support a simple design task for a double cover lesson. The task can be completed on the double sided word document which is also attached. There are some research questions on the front to get the students thinking about ideas. *please note our students are allowed to use their phones for research tasks. Some questions may not work without access to the Internet, so you may want to amend it. On the front there is a simple apron template for them to draw their design into. As an extension students could annotate their design with how it could be manufactured. Or they could go on to design an accompanying oven glove or tea towel? This task is aimed at Year 7 textiles, however it can be used for a RM or food lesson.

A simple quick starter / do it now task to test/widen students current knowledge of Smart Materials Learning Outcomes of the lesson: MEET IT (Learning) I can name at least 4 different smart materials BEAT IT (Mastering) I can identify smart materials in real-life products SMASH IT (Extending) I can explain how smart materials can be used in every day products Students could then go onto designing a product for the textile industry which includes a smart material.
