Learning objectives
- To apply an understanding of line and repeated pattern
National curriculum
The national curriculum for art and design aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques
- Evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design
KS2:
- To improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay]
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Can use very simple patterns as they develop confidence, such as zig-zag lines, small circles, etc.
They may find it easier to just draw with a pencil; they may also be more comfortable with more straightforward templates with fewer areas to fill.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be asked to work more creatively with their patterns and designs and to a high technical level, considering how the type of pattern used can imply shade and light according to its density.
