GCSE Art Gallery Visit Resource for teachers to share with their students. Created for my Y10 GCSE Art students ahead of our gallery visit to find artist inspiration for their Y11 Personal Portfolios. The first page gives space for details on arrival/departure times and student/teacher groups. The second page is a site-specific map of the Tate Modern. The third page details the Personal Portfolio task to be completed whilst visiting the gallery. The fourth page, includes guidance and questions to help students consider the art on display and how it may influence, impact their final coursework project. Editable PDF to help students make the most of their gallery visit. This version is tailored to the Tate Modern, London but could be adapted to another venue.

Printable resource containing two pages of sentence starters to help Art students avoid using the language black hole of ‘I like’ when writing about an artist, artwork, technique, materials or experiments. Creative alternatives that will (hopefully) encourage more thoughtful annotation. Designed for KS4 GCSE Art but can be used across the key stages at secondary level.

Art teaching resource, suitable for KS3 students who find writing about their work challenging. A series of simple sentence starters with prompts to help them analyse what they have done and why. Including the formal elements, specific reference to the artist you are studying and asking them to identify the materials they have used to create their work. Adapted for close-up artist studies during project work.

A comprehensive PDF that explicitly applies Blooms Taxonomy to Drama. Created to help Drama and Theatre teachers visualise and practically apply Blooms Taxonomy to their planning and classroom displays. For each of the 6 layers of the pyramid there are two pages; The first contains a definition, the Action verbs and What is looks like in Drama. The second page is In Practice, explaining the specific domain in more detail with explicit focus on Drama and actionable example tasks for the classroom. I hope the resource provides subject specialists in Performing Arts with a useful guide on how to incorporate Blooms Taxonomy into their teaching of Drama and Theatre.
