My GCSE art students are working on an art project called The Blue Planet. We designed this project to be open-ended, allowing students to work independently and develop their own ideas in practice. The results were fantastic and demonstrated a wide range of skills, techniques and ideas executed to a very high standard.

We called the Blue Planet project to tie in with the BBC series, but it could easily have been changed to something like ‘Underwater’ or ‘Textures’.

Inspired by the challenges of the BBC Blue Planet series, the art students began their research by collecting images, materials and photographs related to the topic and then came up with original ideas. Here are some student covers that I really like!
I love it when students use their design sheets to respond to the topic by adding appropriate colours, small doodles or drawings, and text in an appropriate style. I included this as part of one of the objectives of the AQA assessment: students’ personal responses.
At the beginning of the project, students were given an outline. I think it’s important to give GCSE students an outline to work from, as they may interpret this in many different ways! This assignment highlighted a variety of artists who have worked in 2D and 3D to give students a choice of work to do. Students chose an artist who would inspire them to create their own work and provide ideas for their projects.
Here are some examples of student artist research pages: All are provided as examples in the presentation.
7 Graphic Design Projects To Cure Your Creative Block
Moving the GCSE art project from underwater textures and patterns to something students can physically see meant discussing current issues and ideas related to pollution, waste, plastics and more. These problems were featured in the Blue Planet series, so students were able to make connections between materials and themes. .
Next, students began working on primary research (gathering images for their work) and observational drawings. I’ve spent quite a bit of time on this to make sure my students get really good results. Some students liked the idea of including trash or pollution, so they focused their drawings on those topics.
After primary and secondary research and more accurate observational drawings, students began experimenting with materials, taking inspiration from their artistic research. The class is structured so that students are divided into groups based on what they have done to help with class management.
This part of the project was really fun because it allowed students to be more independent and use a wider variety of materials. Some embraced the idea of plastic/pollution and tried different techniques for painting on plastic, while others worked in a more realistic 3D way and thought more about texture and color.
Planner Review: Make Art Every Day A Weekly Planner For Creative Thinkers
We needed to structure the lesson so students didn’t get ‘lost’, so we did some basic experimentation with materials such as textured backgrounds, monoprints, and simple paper-make casting. After this lesson the students started to come up with their own ideas and as it was KS4 I asked them to think about all the processes and skills they had learned through KS3. The scope of the experiment here was great!
After experimenting with a variety of materials and consulting artistic research, the GCSE students refined their work by selecting the ones that did the best to generate ideas for the final piece. I usually ask students to think of two or three different final designs. This takes the form of a simple line drawing design with color swatches and sample sections to indicate what the final piece will look like. This is also a great way to give students a command to solve problems and begin creating their final work.
Finally, students were able to combine all of their research, experiments, concepts and techniques in a unique, personal and creative way to work on their final piece. I was very pleased with the work of this group of GCSE students and they seemed really interested and excited about this project… playing The Blue Planet BBC series on the board during class definitely helped 😂
What do you think about the project and your work? Please let us know in the comments. I’d love to hear your thoughts or ideas. Have you seen these cool book page graphics on Pinterest? It’s amazing what people can do with a piece of paper. If you can’t decorate an entire wall with books, we’ve found a solution. And it’s quick to make.
18 Art Journal Ideas To Spark Your Creativity
Every home has something special. My house has a small wall. I never noticed until I was looking for a place to add a large wall art project.
Don’t forget to check out the easy book page art ideas at the bottom of this post too!
This large 20×24 frame was purchased at a thrift store. I paid 10 dollars. Plus, I took two books. One book would be enough, but I liked the idea of the pages yellowing slightly differently. One book costs 50 cents.
Remove the frame by removing the mounting backing, artwork, and glass. Make sure there are staples, glass nails, or small nails securing the pieces to the frame. I’m happy to remove them all from my project. Then use this push tool and glass tip to add back the artwork, glass, and mounting plate.

Then clean the frame with a damp cloth. If the frame has nicks or scratches, you can sand it. I like this frame as is. Can you believe I didn’t draw???
Now apply wood restoration wax. Apply a thin layer of clear wax. I used homemade wax. I made these out of beeswax and picked them up to use on wood or chalk based paints.
If the mounting plate is clean and free of discoloration, use it as the base for your artwork. Otherwise, cover it with craft paper. Secure in place with white craft glue.
Tip: Use a small amount of glue. Paper is light and can show through if you use too much.
Simple Boarder Design
Create a base by tearing off different colored pages. Arrange them as desired and glue them into place. You can also use double-sided tape.
Choose your favorite saying or create your own. Here’s what I mean: “I love books. Even if it’s a book you can’t read.” Or “Four Hearts of a Book.” There is also 1 behind reading.
You can paint, write, or transfer fonts onto the pages of your book. I created the font using my favorite image transfer method.
Create origami elements to add around the book page image. I made two fans and glued them together in a circle to create a fan circle. I then used page scraps and a stapler to create the heart.
Finding A Voice Through A Level Art & Design
I now have a photo of a book page hanging above the old wooden fireplace. It’s small enough to move to another small wall!
Here’s a quick and easy book page art project you can recreate in minutes. Perfect for mindful creativity!
This page of the book has been expanded by overlapping two pages. I can’t even remember if both pages are correct! I know they are not in the same book. A mixture of six colors was randomly generated. All you have to do is dip, dip, and mark with a marker of any color.
After the paint dried, a mixture of floral rubber stamps was applied to some paint samples.
Diy Front Page Ideas
To finish, I used a very fine black marker to draw another floral element on top of the remaining color swatch.
Right now I want to display the page on my scrapboard. I’ll be adding her to my latest art journal soon.
