Creating memory boxes with art

This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to a creative project where Key stage 2 pupils combine graphical drawings with text to represent personal ideas and memories. It guides them in simplifying experiences into images and keywords, exploring how colour, lettering, and symbols can communicate meaning. The video demonstrates each step, from designing a lid with a graphical representation to assembling a cuboid memory box showcasing earlier still life studies in sketching, charcoal, negative space, and painting.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original UKS2 Art and design resources. It provides clear guidance, enabling teachers to support pupils in combining skills and techniques across different mediums to create an inventive final piece that celebrates both creativity and personal expression.
