Real classroom lesson ideas that sit in CR, with anti-examples to sharpen your placement.
By Andy Perryer, Head of Digital Learning3 lessons
Creative Replace (CR) sits at the Creative row and Replace column of the PICRAT grid. Below: real Art lessons for KS3 that classify as CR, plus anti-examples that look CR but are not.
Digital sketchbook of weekly observations
Year 7
· 30 min
· 1 device per student plus stylus
Each student keeps a digital sketchbook in Procreate, adding one observation sketch per week over a half-term (e.g. a leaf, a hand, a chair, a face). They submit the sketchbook at half-term.
Each student collects 12 reference images for a chosen art topic (e.g. portraits across cultures, landscape composition styles, colour use in advertising) into a digital folio. They write a one-line caption for each image explaining its relevance. They submit the folio.
Process-photo journal of a single artwork
Year 9
· 30 min
· 1 device per student
Each student photographs their work-in-progress on a single artwork at six stages, from initial sketch to finished piece. They submit the six photographs in sequence with a one-line caption per stage explaining the decision they made.
