As most senior Art students undergo a personal learning programme in which they explore individual topics and themes, these resources are likely to be most beneficial for art students aged 12 – 15 (at these ages students typically follow more teacher-driven programmes). These resources are designed to ensure students have a good skill base before entering senior Art programmes. It is hoped that these exemplars will be of assistance to many busy Art teachers!

A step-by-step illustration showing you how to paint with acrylic using a flicking brush technique: building up layers to create a simple still life painting (resources to help with teaching Art, created by www.studentartguide.com).
This is a great exercise for art students: a painting of a weaving, with every strand of flax painted / drawn using a different medium or technique. It encourages creativity with media, as well as allows student to practise their blending and application of tone. The ‘under/over’ nature of the weaving also helps students understand how to create depth and space within their drawings. (Art resources from www.studentartguide.com).This handout is used to stimulate discussion about the effect of colour. A simple exercise, this introduces students to colour schemes such as: monochrome, harmonious, complementary, subdued/minimal, realistic and ‘earthy’. Students can then go on to complete a similar exercise using one of their own drawings. (Art resources created by www.studentartguide.com).This is a straight forward handout to help with perspective drawing lessons: one point perspective + two point perspective (free art teacher resources from www.studentartguide.com)
This perspective exercise is part of our Guide to One Point Perspective, which contains several handouts and free teaching resources.
An age-old teaching exercise, the one-point perspective drawing of a room never fails to engage students. This example illustrates how the basic one point perspective ‘box’ can be cut and modified to create a more complex interior space.
