What is Included?
This practical 18-page pack provides meaningful cover work without requiring a specialist Art teacher to introduce each activity. Tasks can be completed on the sheet, in a sketchbook or on separate paper using ordinary classroom drawing materials.
The resource includes:
How to Use the Art Cover Lesson Pack
Select the activity that best fits the class and print one copy per student. The worksheets keep instructions clear for a cover teacher while still requiring students to observe, make visual decisions, compare possibilities and reflect on what they have produced.
Suitable for GCSE and A Level Art & Design
The activities cover observation, cropping, tone, positive and negative space, photography, contact-sheet selection, texture, mark-making, graphic symbols, packaging hierarchy, reflections and connected idea development. AO references are included as broad teaching connections rather than marks or grade predictions.
