What others say...
I am really enjoying using the Kapow Art and Design scheme. The children are so engaged during lessons and the development of their skills and knowledge is clear to see.
The teacher videos are excellent as are the pupil videos. The explanations are explicit and I particularly like the example works from other schools.
The lessons are broken down into small steps, which gives the children the opportunity to adapt and edit their work throughout. The lessons are easy to find and I love the presentation mode.
