Pupils needing extra support:

• Could choose from a limited range of colour combinations to support colour selection.
• Could refer to the images of Alma Thomas’s and Yinka Ilori’s artwork shown earlier in the lesson to support choosing colours, patterns and marks.
• Could be reminded to refer back to their plan throughout the lesson to support the creation of their final artwork.

Pupils working at greater depth:

• Should explain their design decisions to a peer using artistic language (for example, “I chose thick blue spirals because they stand out.” or “I repeated dots to create a pattern like Alma Thomas.”).
• Should combine influences from Alma Thomas and Yinka Ilori in their final piece (for example, using Alma Thomas-inspired repeated marks with Yinka Ilori-inspired bold shapes or patterns).
• Should apply paint with consistent control, creating accurate shapes, repeated marks and clean colour changes throughout their final piece.
• Could explain how they would improve or adapt their painting if they created it again.
