A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 2, Painting and Mixed Media.

This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore colour mixing, texture, and collage techniques. It introduces how to mix secondary colours from primary ones, create tones using black and white, and use different painting tools to produce a variety of textures. Pupils also develop skills in composition by arranging and overlapping materials in collage work. Inspired by the artist Romare Bearden, they learn how artwork can reflect memory and promote equality through layered, patterned designs. This unit builds confidence in combining painting and collage to create expressive mixed-media art.
