A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 4, Craft and design: Fabric of nature.
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore the process of designing and decorating textiles using glue batik techniques. It introduces key vocabulary such as batik, pattern, colour palette, and theme, along with a step-by-step guide showing how to create fabric designs by drawing with PVA glue, painting over dried glue with acrylics, and washing the glue away to reveal patterns. Featuring artists like William Morris, Ruth Daniels, and Senaka Senanayake, this organiser encourages creative expression through repeated motifs and colour design, while reinforcing links between art, craft, and industry.
