A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the archived unit Archived - Art and Design, Year 2, Human Form.

This resource is designed to support the pupils as they explore different ways to represent the human form in art. It introduces key vocabulary such as self-portrait, sculpture, mixed media, symbolism, and collaboration, helping the pupils develop an understanding of how artists depict the human body and emotions through various techniques and materials. The pupils will also learn about contemporary artists such as Damien Hirst, Julian Opie, and Edwina Bridgeman, examining how they use unique styles to interpret the human form. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and fostering creativity by allowing the pupils to experiment with drawing, painting, collage, and three-dimensional artwork. Through hands-on activities, they will explore how the human figure is represented in different cultures, such as in the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, and create their own interpretations using a range of artistic techniques. The unit encourages self-expression, critical thinking, and an appreciation for the diversity of artistic styles.
