Everything else this site has for Art & Design: Art & Design teaching resources
One A4 sheet per unit, in the order the units are taught. Each sheet carries the same five sections, so a pupil who has used one has used them all: the vocabulary they must be able to define, what they must know, what they must be able to do, the single diagram worth remembering, and the misconceptions that cost marks. Knowing and doing are kept apart.
Designed to be photocopied. Nothing on the page depends on being in colour, the body text is set for reading at desk distance rather than on a screen, and the vocabulary is laid out as a two-column table so a pupil can cover the meanings with a ruler and self-quiz.
