Project to teach KS3 students about the life and works of Artist and Architect Antoni Gaudi. Slides will enable students to analyse his works and then demonstrate their understand through a range of creative design activities.
Hi everyone
Here are my top 21 artists based on the themes “Buildings/Paces” which I have carefully selected as they have inspired my students across all age groups when developing and creating their own work based on their own projects. This powerpoint includes the names of the artists, images of their work as a reference and examples of A/Asketchbook pages created by students.
The artists are all very different: Its been in order to show the development of styles and techniques, from Black and white to colour, also showing different styles: Illustration, surrealism, photography, expressionism, mixed media, collage and realism painting styles. There are also slides at the end explaining what a confidence artist sketchbook page looks like and resources for you to share with students to help them write about their artists.
I can promise you this powerpoint will be a very important and inspiring resource for you and your students.
I hope that you find this powerpoint visually inspiring and useful in encouraging your students to create confident and exceptional artist pages. Remember to check out my other artist resources in my shop.
Thank you

Planning sheet to support learners in creating effective and critical analysis when looking at the artist BANKSY.

A series of worksheets I have produced to develop learner knowledge of the influences and contexts surrounding the creation of graphic design and art. These were designed to meet part of the assessment criteria for Unit 02 of the NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design, however they would suit mainstream KS3 and KS4 as homework, cover lesson worksheets or starters.
