Pupils needing extra support

May benefit from working in smaller groups or supported by an adult in this group situation; could use a printing technique they are already familiar with and focus their ideas on adding contrast and pattern rather than the printing technique itself (painting onto acetate sheets and printing from them is straightforward and gives reliable results); may need support when describing their ideas and making decisions with their group.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should be encouraged to consider how their ideas will work as a complete piece; could encourage problem-solving to challenge them to try an unfamiliar print technique if the prints don’t go as expected; should aim to make their composition reflect all the elements suggested in the Main event.
