Pupils are encouraged to describe and analyse artworks in depth—considering colour, symbolism, and historical context—and to develop personal responses through discussion and creative interpretation. With structured prompts to evaluate and reflect, this organiser builds critical thinking and expressive confidence in visual storytelling.
Aimed at pupils, a two-page document which gives key facts and definitions from the unit.
A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 6, Craft and design: Photo opportunity.
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore photography and digital image-making through practical camera work and photo editing. It introduces key vocabulary such as macro, photorealism, photomontage, and saturation, alongside artistic concepts like arrangement, layout, and composition. Pupils learn how to use a camera’s features (e.g. lens, flash, mode switch), the differences between normal and macro lenses, and how to enhance images using colour saturation, replacement, and special effects. Tips for successful photography—such as keeping the camera steady, checking focus, experimenting with angles, and playing with composition—equip learners with technical and creative confidence. Influences from artists like Hannah Höch and Derrick O. Boateng inspire inventive expression through digital art.
A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 5, Craft and design: Architecture.
This resource is designed to support pupils as they investigate architecture and how buildings communicate meaning through design. It introduces essential vocabulary such as architecture, elevation, legacy, perspective, and proportion, and explains artistic techniques like monoprinting through step-by-step guidance. Pupils explore iconic structures from around the world—like the Burj Khalifa and the Taj Mahal—and study the imaginative, colourful designs of Friedensreich Hundertwasser and the innovative, curved architecture of Zaha Hadid. The unit encourages pupils to express ideas visually and understand how architecture shapes the spaces we live in.
