I have used this more than any of my other worksheets! This is a brilliant sheet for your classes when you are first introducing the idea of tone and you want to teach some basis skills. In each letter your students need to shade, getting darker as they go across the page. Alternatively, you could […]
These 12 tag shaped drawing tasks will give your students choice, keep them busy and provide them with a challenge. Print them in colour or black and white. I cut them out and have them pegged to a board which makes an appealing display/visible resource in my classroom. You can then just tell students to […]
This is a classic homework which asks your students to create a page of mark making. There is an A4 version and I’ve also put 4 on a page to cut down on photocopying. The WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like) is for you to show in class as a good example.
This essential worksheet has been designed for teaching crosshatching. It gives two examples, Durer and Da Vinci and asks students to complete two tasks. This would fit into any drawing skills workshop or work as a cover lesson or homework. You could use this as a lesson before you go on to look at Giorgio Morandi […]
These Insects Worksheets are always popular. Get your classes working in fine liner or complete the sheet in a range of media. This would also be a useful resource for a minibeasts/bugs project.

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.
I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.
I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
