This does what is says on the tin- it is a checklist for students to use to check that they are doing all they can to refine their work and target areas to improve in each different assessment area in GCSE Art and Design- The AO`s are bound to change at some point- but this has been really useful to give to students and have them self evaluate their progress. It has been useful for AFL and peer marking in lesson- and also as a (more beefy) starter. I have also had students checking eachother's portfolios to target areas to improve- which ended well ...in most cases (aside from one GCSE group- where tension ran high following a heated disagreement over A04. Luckily I was able to dissolve the the situation with singing and star jumping at the same time (which I believe is the answer to most classroom management issues).

I made this to help me explain the process of photography to my students- It has been really helpful if you are in a busy lesson and need a visual to help you explain something complex. It has been useful as a checklist and prompt for initiating conversation about what successful units of work need to show.

Understanding A-Level Photography / Fine Art Marking and Assessment for AFL: This presentation (and accompanying jpegs) contain resources for helping A-Level students understand Marking and Assessment at A-Level (AFL) - I use these resources in my teaching of AS and A-Level students and help students : - Learn about marking - Mark / Peer Assess their work - Try to understand how the numbers correspond to their grade / mark It has been really useful in my lessons for ensuring understanding of marking and AFL- and has made what can be a painful part of the lesson- really worthwhile and useful.

I made this resource to help develop student`s understanding of how they are marked at GCSE level and how the numbers on the assessment objectives match with the eventual grade they will get. It was really useful to use in lesson to get students to mark their own work and take ownership over understanding the marking system. I hope it helps... I have uploaded the PowerPoint and JPEG image- as teachers may wish to change the framework / numbers depending on changes in grade boundaries/ exam boards etc

This resource contains a 45 slide PowerPoint Presentation with all of the best layering advice and tips I use in my A-level and GCSE lessons to ensure effective layering of images in different ways using Photoshop.

The guide includes tasks to help layering, layering examples, and imagery useful for peer assessment of images and developing pupils knowledge and understanding (using Photoshop).

This is also a great resource when used in combination with my other Photoshop Guide. It shows you how to develop your images using layering, collage joiner techniques, series, arrangements and canvas extensions.
