This grid will be useful to print off for GSCE Art Students (AQA) as it shows grade boundaries and marks and gives further detail for the wording / rough grading margins. i use this to get students to assess where they think they are and use in combination with examples so pupils have a clear idea of how the visual connects to the actual grading process

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. I mainly use the slides in Photography lessons, but they have come in really useful for Art lessons across KS4-5. 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). I have also included the presentation in numbered JPEG / image format to make it easier to pick slides and put them on screen for use in lessons- or for copy/pasting directly into other PowerPoints.

I have found these resources really helpful with all levels of ability in A-Level Art & Design and Photography lessons when responding to artists/ photographer and research. I have also trialled these resources with high ability GCSE students- and it worked great. Research and Analysis ( Assessment Objective 1 for me) has long been a tricky and troublesome subject to deal with for any student- as most students would much rather be doing something practical. To make the whole process a little less painful I made these resources to use in lesson as presentation material in PowerPoints- and also as helpsheets to aid/support research. Questions as simple as ... how do I put research in my book...? how much research should I do...? ... is research necessary...?... how do I research...? will be eased with these resources. For your £3 you get... a PowerPoint with 21 slides of resources and examples to help you with research... I have also uploaded the slides as numbered and titled worksheets to make printing easier. It took me a good while to make and refine, but I have found the SUPER GRID really useful in particular for "on computer" research responses for students- and the class work sheet really useful for "real life" lessons and image critique/ analysis/ peer assessment. I regularly use all of the slides in my lessons and hopefully you will find them useful as well...the examples of artists in particular have been really well received by students....

This resource is full of Teaching and Learning Strategies that have helped me to: - Incorporate great techniques for Differentiation and AFL (Assessment for Learning) - Vary my teaching style in lesson and planning. -Get more quality group work tasks into my lessons. -Change the way I plan/teach to think more about what I want my students to learn. The resource includes a PowerPoint and worksheets that detail the strategies that I have found most useful. The PowerPoint was made for a training workshop (Pirelli Stadium) for Low Impact- High gain strategies for all subjects /abilities to enable quality teaching, planning, AFL and Differentiation It also contains resources to help teachers looking to incorporate De Bono`s 6 Thinking hats technique in their lessons. More of my stuff can be found @ be.net/grw Any questions- please email me :-)

The links below will take you to my YouTube Channel and Behance- where I have put lots of resources and inspiration to help teachers and students with their AQA AS and A2 A-Level Photography Exam units. There are inspiration packs for each question and tips for making best progress in your exams YouTube: http://bit.ly/1HEaYOo Behance: https://www.behance.net/grw Good luck to you all- any questions- please email.

I made this to help AS photography students- so they have a simple, printable document that explains the descriptor and A0s- it might save you all 10 minutes of faffing, making it on PowerPoint- and is really useful to fix into their sketchbooks at the start of the exam :-)

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 have used this PowerPoint and Worksheets in this resource in my GCSE and A-Level Photography (and Fine Art) teaching/ lessons to help students deal with problems, learn shortcuts and work more effectively and efficiently. They have been great for dealing with large numbers of students- when they are all on Photoshop at the same time - or if you want something quick to refer to to make lessons run smoothly. The cheat sheets and quick guides help students get into the technical side a bit quicker. I have also included 3 guides / checklists that help when students when they are photographing images- and marking/editing and cropping their contacts once they have taken the photos. - There are loads of other resources for Photography and Fine Art on my Youtube channel- if you fancy a look copy and paste this link - http://bit.ly/1HEaYOo - Any questions please email me:-)

This resource is intended to give students guides and tips for preparing to make their Creative Portfolio for Fine Art/ Photography. It also contains examples of possible questions (and responses) that students will be asked when they attend College and University Interviews. These resources are supported by Videos I have made using my own work to illustrate the tips and guides- They can be found http://bit.ly/1HEaYOo Portfolios and interviews can be stressful for students- and lengthy for teachers to prepare students for-considering the time constraints of A-Level teaching- so I made this resource to help both teachers and students :-) The resources are also available to view @ http://linkd.in/1TtnJU9 Please check out my other resources for Photography and Fine Art on TES and on be.net/grw

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.

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
