A Strategy to Raise Achievement in Art

By The Arty Teacher - August 26, 2022

This exciting blog post explores my favourite strategy for raising attainment in a GCSE class where you have mixed/low ability learners or simply a very large class where it is hard to monitor progress.  This is subscriber only content.

      Hi Sasha, If your teacher has shared the assessment objectives with you, you may have noticed that the word ‘ideas’ comes up frequently. A large part of creativity is about coming up with your own ideas. Asking someone else to come up with the ideas for you isn’t really the right thing to do; it would be like asking someone to sit an exam for you. Reflect on what you have enjoyed doing so far. What medium (eg pencil drawing, watercolour, charcoal) has been successful for you so far? Can you push that medium further? What do you want to communicate to the audience of your artwork? How can you get that message across?
