*Updated* Drawing: Expressing ideas

Exploring how artists express ideas and how they use scale to do so.

Introducing updates to our drawing units

Kapow Primary is thrilled to announce updates to the drawing curriculum for Years 1–6. The enhancements include a clearer and more structured progression of knowledge and skills, increased opportunities for skill reinforcement, broader exposure to diverse artists and new educational videos for teachers and pupils.

 

This updated unit introduces these exciting new elements while retaining selected aspects of the archived unit Drawing: Make my voice heard, which will remain in the archive area. It will remain permanently available but will not be updated in line with curriculum or website developments.
