A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 6, Craft and design: Photo opportunity.
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore photography and digital image-making through practical camera work and photo editing. It introduces key vocabulary such as macro, photorealism, photomontage, and saturation, alongside artistic concepts like arrangement, layout, and composition. Pupils learn how to use a camera’s features (e.g. lens, flash, mode switch), the differences between normal and macro lenses, and how to enhance images using colour saturation, replacement, and special effects. Tips for successful photography—such as keeping the camera steady, checking focus, experimenting with angles, and playing with composition—equip learners with technical and creative confidence. Influences from artists like Hannah Höch and Derrick O. Boateng inspire inventive expression through digital art.
