A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Archived – Art and Design, Year 2, Art and Design Skills.

 

This resource is designed to support the pupils as they develop fundamental art and design techniques across different media. It introduces key vocabulary such as sketch, tone, ceramics, slip, and repeating pattern, helping the pupils build confidence in drawing, painting, and working with clay. The pupils will also explore how to create and refine their designs using methods like scoring clay, making concentric circles, and planning compositions through sketching. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and fostering creativity by encouraging the pupils to experiment with different artistic approaches. Through hands-on activities, they will explore colour mixing, clay modelling, and pattern-making, while studying the works of artists such as Clarice Cliff and Nancy McCroskey. The unit promotes self-expression, problem-solving, and an appreciation for different artistic techniques and styles.
