Art and design scheme: Long-term plan — condensed

This document outlines Kapow’s condensed Art and Design curriculum for the entire school, and contains important information for teachers, subject coordinators, school leaders, and outside bodies. The document explains the structure and organisation of the curriculum, which covers four key areas for each year group: drawing; painting and mixed media; sculpture and 3D; and craft and design.

The Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed document accompanies this long-term plan.

 

Original Art and design scheme: Key skills by unit (including condensed curriculum)

This skills overview is suitable for use with the original Kapow Primary Art and design scheme. We recommend that schools no longer use this scheme and transition to our revised Art scheme.

This overview shows the key skills covered across each year group and identifies which units give coverage of each of these skills.

If you are following our Long-term plan: Condensed, there are some skills and artists that are not covered. These skills are highlighted on the document with the ✦ symbol.

Knowledge organiser: KS2 Instrumental Music: Indonesia

A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Music, KS2, Instrumental Lessons: Indonesia.

 

This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore traditional Indonesian gamelan music through instrumental practice. It introduces key musical vocabulary including gamelan, gong, metallophone, slendro, and octave, and explains how gamelan melodies follow a cyclical 8-note pattern. Pupils learn about the slendro scale—a pentatonic system where each pitch is numbered 1 to 5—and how different instruments play variations of the same tune using varying octaves and rhythms. This organiser also supports visual learning with labelled images of gamelan instruments and maps showing the musical origins in Java and Bali, helping pupils build cultural and musical awareness through hands-on experience.
