Please bear with me while I just finish off my AQA ESA PowerPoints. I am aiming to have them completed and uploaded by Sunday evening.
I will have the Art, Craft and Design one plus the Photography one completed this year.
Back to it!
Sorry for the missing in action lack of posts recently. But I am now back at work after my maternity leave and busy with new students, schemes of work and lesson planning.
I have picked up some Key Stage 3 teaching this year and so have a few new schemes I have written that I am currently teaching. In this post I have added one of these that seems to be working well at the moment with the class. We are only half way through but so far the students have enjoyed the work and all have been able to access the tasks and have produced some lively and creative works. I hope it is useful for you!

A little late due to having a nearly 4 month old at home but better late than never I say 🙂
Good luck all!
Maternity Leave
Hi all! Just a very quick post to update all my readers that I am currently on maternity leave from school. As such I might not be updating the blog as often as I normally would but please bear with me as when I am back at work service will resume as usual! 🙂

Key Stage 3 Scheme of Work – Pixels
Hi All
Sorry for the delay in updating the blog recently, I decided to take some time out over the summer to just relax and rest. Also I am happy to say that I am very nearly due to have my first baby so the blog may be a little quiet in the coming months but I will be back!
After a few requests for Key Stage 3 Schemes I have had a dig about in my files and found one that I think might be of interest and also one that my students really enjoyed (they were very into Minecraft and computer games at the time of teaching).

KS3 Food – Sculpture Scheme of Work
Sorry for the long time in updating the blog, school has been rather busy this last term. Now with Year 11 on study leave I am hoping to catch up with the long list of jobs to work on, starting with updating this blog!
I have been digging around my files and found a Year 7 scheme based around food and cardboard sculpture which I thought might be useful for others.

Takeaway Homework
Here are a few examples of some takeaway homework sheets that I have developed for Key Stage 3 Art and Design and Year 10 Photography classes.
I have found that these are a great way of setting homework as students are able to select a homework depending on how much time they have for it and what they feel like doing that day.
The Key Stage 3 sheets have a few more rules, such as students must select at least one hot or extra hot task a term etc.
The Key Stage 3 ones have been converted from Pages documents to Word Docs so I hope they work OK for you. The photography ones I can not convert so can be found in my Dropbox as Photoshop files should you wish to have the original editable versions.

Fantastic and Strange GCSE Scheme of Work
I have been running the above scheme of work this term with my Year 10 class. The majority of the class are generally fairly low ability but so far they have produced some great work that they are enjoying.
We are moving on to developing designs for the ceramic pieces after the half term but I wanted to share the SOW now as I have some free time. Hopefully once the students have created their final pieces I will add some photos of their work! In the meantime I have photographed some of the pages out of their sketchbook for you to see some of the development work.

Here is my last powerpoint linked to the AQA 2018 Photography paper. I hope that it is helpful to you and your students!
Again I created the powerpoint on Keynote and exported it to PowerPoint so some text etc may have moved about in the export.

2018 AQA Art, Craft and Design Exam/ESA Powerpoint
Once again here is my AQA Art, Craft and Design powerpoint that I create to help my students with the Externally Set Assignment. Each slide shows a number of artists, crafts people and designers that link to each theme given on the paper. All the people identified in the paper are included alongside others that I have found.
