This task helps students to remember and understand the meaning of each formal element. The sheet instructs the students to creatively adapt each key words in relation to its meaning. I use this as a starter task, whilst taking the register!

Practise creating different values and using different shading styles. Can be used a starter activity.

21 Key word printables, children studying Photography need to know. Can be used as lesson aids or for classroom display. Modern, clear design.

A prompt sheet to help students develop ideas for their own mythical creature. I use this as part of a wider scheme of work on mythical creatures. After completing the initial ideas and a sketch students may want to go to develop their idea into a more detailed drawing/painting or a 3D mask. The work sheet also comes with a page of vector images of animal features that may help inspire their design.

I use this sheet to get students to make a plan for their final project piece. What materials will they use? Have they considered how their final idea links to the artists they have looked at. How will their outcome link the brief or theme?

A task and feedback sheet for sketchbook work.

This scheme of work is based on 4 workshop style lesson. The workshops are designed to develop skills in the following media… Working with pencil (tone/shade/texture) inspired by Ian Murphy Working with water colour (colour/tone) inspired by Sunga Parc Working with collage/mixed media inspired by Jon Measures Working with cardboard (3D/relief) inspired by Evol I teach this to Y9 in preparation for GCSE.

A set of 9 homework tasks that can be set over the course of a term. The individual tasks help develop skills and knowledge and include activities that link to SMSC. Printmaking Art in the news Diversity Careers in Art Composition Working in 3D Digital drawing

This is my example of my department vision.

This is a 10 week photography project that is suitable for a KS3 project or the basis for GCSE project. Through the medium of photography students consider how we can show the concept of diversity visually. Students explore techniques inspired by artists such as Manny Robinson and Brno Del Zou. The use of cameras and photo editing software such as Afinity Photo or Photoshop are required.

I have used this project for a number of years with Year 8 groups. It is designed to introduce students to artifacts from a non European culture and develop their skills in 3D modeling techniques. Students also explore cultural reference to animals and develop skills in mark making when painting/drawing their animal as well as developing design skills when designing their own masks.

This is a fairly simple and fun approach to exploring feelings through art. I wrote this task for Y6 to do during summer school, to encourage them to think about and talk about how they were feeling about changing schools. Students start with a template or a face, draw in the emotion they are feeling and then have fun adding crazy hair with a straw and ink/paint. We also discuss colour theory and how colours can represent different moods and feelings, looking at how artists have used colour in their work.

I use this task as part of an on going project about Architecture. The task takes about 2 -3 lessons. The slides include step by step instructions on how to create a stained glass window, using card and tissue paper. There are some visual examples and a you tube video about how stained glass windows are made. Also, some suggested extention tasks at the end. Materials required, balck card, tissue paper, glue, craft knives and cutting boards. Aimed at KS3 or a short task for KS4.

This is a single task with a You tube tutorial I made to demonstate how coffee can be used as an alternative to paint. This is great as a home learning task as it gives students the option to create a piece of art without the need for paints, using something they proably have at home. To video demos the drawing of a shell and tonal detail added with coffee.

A printable booklet that can be shared with GCSE Art and Design students. Contains help sheets about the course assessment criteria, tips about how to use different media, key terms and techniques as well as much more.

This is a full project that will take around 10 weeks to complete (one hour per week) The project aims to introduce students the concept of the formal elements and works through a series of drawing tasks focusing on each element. The visual theme of the project centres around insects with links to artists who have created work inspired by insects. Each formal element is explained through a video link and a references an relevant artist.
