| Drawing (pencil, charcoal, chalk, pastels, ICT software) |
ELG Physical development

Extend the variety of drawings tools Observe and draw patterns Draw a way of recording experiences and feelings (take your pencil for a walk) Sketch to make quick records |
Experiment with various pencil grades Close observation Initial sketches as a preparation for painting (sketch book) Accurate drawings of people – particularly faces Work on a variety of scales |
Effect of light on objects and people from different directions (sketch book) Produce increasingly accurate drawings of people Use the concept of perspective (sketch book) Drawing-Escher, Leonardo Da Vinci |
| Colour (painting, ink, dye, textiles, pencils, crayon, pastels) |
ELG- Expressive arts and design
|
Find collections of colour Applying colour with a range of tools Begin to describe colours by objects Make as many tones of one colour as possible (using white) Darken colours without using black using colour on a large scale Explore work of Iain Andrews, Chas Jacobs |
Making colours Create Colour wheels Introduce different types of brushes Different techniques for applying colour, scratching, dotting, splashing Explore the work of Ewa Czarniecka, Jonathan Gabb, Jackson Pollock |
EXPLORE Hue, tint, tone, shades and mood Colour for purposes (chose for specific reason and justify) Colour to express feelings (blue for sad… justify own choices) Explore the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat US artist |
| Texture (textiles, clay, sand, plaster, stone) |
ELG- Expressive arts and design
Sensory experience |
Simple weaving using paper, strips of fabric Collage using various textiles Create textures using clay and simple found objects |
Weaving using card Explore different types of fabrics Clay to create texture tiles using clay tools Paint layers with sand to create texture |
Use different size needles to sew simple patterns Use a variety of stitches Observe a wider variety of textured art Compare different fabrics and their uses Explore textures in clay to create a mood tile using clay tools Explore the use of texture in colour (brick walls, leaves, concrete floors, wooden tables) |
| Form (3D work, clay, dough, boxes) |
ELG-physical development
|
Construct simple models and discuss their form Use materials to make known objects for a purpose Pinch and roll coils using modelling clay/dough/plastecine Make simple joins |
Discuss natural and manmade forms Make forms using pliable material based on real life objects- trees, flowers, houses… Discuss and evaluate work of famous sculptures |
Plan and develop 3D work Use imagination or real objects to inspire Create model using various materials Evaluate form and suggest improvements Discuss and evaluate work of famous sculptures – Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Auguste Rodin |
| Printing (found materials, fruit/veg, wood blocks, press print, string) |
ELG- Expressive arts and design
Print with block colours Symmetrical printing |
Create patterns using everyday objects (match sticks, fingers, string, cotton buds, corks…) Use press print to create simple images Colour mixing by overlapping coloured prints |
Print with a growing range of objects Collect example items that feature printed patterns Discuss repeated patterns and how to replicate using printing |
Combine own printed pieces to create art Explore the work or Andy Warhol and use printing to create own images Discuss and Evaluate their work compared to that of famous artists |
| Pattern (paint, pencil, textiles, clay, printing, natural) |
Explore creating repeating patterns Explore irregular painting patterns Simple symmetry using a range of media (paper fold, printing…) ELG Expressive arts and design
|
Awareness of patterns both natural and manmade Repeating patterns Reflective Symmetry |
Describe/ collect pattern in the environment, manmade-natural Make patterns on a range of surfaces Explore rotational symmetry |
Explore environmental and manmade patterns Tesselation Create own abstract pattern to reflect an expression or experience Create a tesselation/ repeating pattern for a purpose (fabric, wallpaper…) Repeating patterns William Morris |
| SKILLS | Using scissors correctly and safely Use glue spreaders affectively Hold a paint brush correctly |
Using scissors safely and correctly to cut out more complex shapes Use different thickness of paintbrush |
