This is a complete 14-16 week Key Stage 3 unit on drawing and constructing a still life with a focus on line, colour, shape and form. This could also be used in Year 10 for GCSE. There are short, starter activities, introducing key topics, using different media for kinetic and visual learners. There is a mini research project on Carolee Clark whose artwork is used as inspiration. The starting point is fruit, with teachers being able to use what is accessible to them. Students will end up producing a lot of process work with 2 final pieces: a drawing/painting and a sculpture at the end of this unit. Quality teacher and student examples are included for explanation and demonstration, along with key words to assist EAL students. Mark scheme and worksheets included.

This bundle contains three PowerPoints on “Shape”, one of the 7 elements of art. It is targeted at Year 7 in Key Stage 3 but could be used for younger children or those with low ability.

Very easy to access and great for EAL students.

This is your one-stop shop when it comes to the elements of art! All 7 elements are here including a poster, a title page for workbooks and a mark-making project.

This resource contains all my KS3 Design and Technology projects for Terms 1-3. A year long resource! It includes: a checklist, all the new vocabulary words that students will encounter during the term, What Am I Learning Toward (W.A.L.T), Mark Scheme for each unit according to three major skills: Observation and analysis (OA), Experimentation and development of ideas (ED) and Realisation and evaluation (RE) and Schemes of Work. I ask students once a month to review their checklist in order for them see if they are behind in any projects or have missed any projects when absent. The vocabulary list serves as an end of unit ‘test’ to see how well the students have assimilated the new words.

Using nature as inspiration, these 2 sculpture projects take 16 weeks to complete and is therefore perfect as a term project. It can be used for Key Stage 3 or IGCSE/GCSE students. It begins by using easy to access first-hand resources, shells and leaves, as the design inspiration. There are various different final outcomes to choose from which depends on available resources – great for those without a proper sculpture studio. The form is broken down into a process of abstraction which is comprised of simple steps using line, form and space as the main elements. Process work is highly regarded as means to scaffold the project and help students see the value in each step. Excellent student work is used to explain each step of the process with completed examples included at the end. A visually impactful PowerPoint which is great for English as an additional language speakers. Included: marking schemes and vocab, worksheets, design criteria and level descriptors.
