These are a series of 3 extension task sheets with 8 task on each. They can be used for students who have completed their work early or to push higher ability students. I have a number of these printed and laminated in the room and students use them when needed. The tasks are varied and promote independent learning and creativity.

A good resource to introduce the concept of Op Art. Student join up the dots to create Op Art inspired patterns.

This is a Piet Mondrian inspired marble maze game. The file contains • 1 x A3 research/inspiration sheet about Mondrian’s work • 1 x A3 research/inspiration sheet on different types of mazes • 1 x A3 product analysis sheet (similarities and differences) • 1 x A3 design idea sheet • 1 x A4 final design idea sheet After completing the design sheets, students then would create a card prototype after which they would create the final design using wood and acrylic. The project is aimed at Key Stage 3 students and would last for about 6 x 2 hour lessons a week.
