This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to a creative collage lesson inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, where Key stage 2 pupils construct imaginative faces from unexpected objects. It encourages them to explore how fruits, flowers, vehicles, or other images can be arranged to form recognisable facial features while still celebrating their individual shapes. The video demonstrates each step, from experimenting with layouts and selecting images to arranging, refining, and gluing pieces into place, before reviewing the compositions both up close and from a distance.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original LKS2 Art and design resources. It supports teachers in guiding pupils to explore composition, symbolism, and perception, encouraging creativity and playfulness while developing an awareness of how images can work together to create surprising effects in lessons like the ones below.
