Drawing from imagination
This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to a lesson where Key stage 2 pupils create imaginative artworks based on original ideas. It encourages them to invent unusual houses, cars, or creatures, using sketchbooks to generate quick thumbnail drawings before selecting their strongest and most original designs. The video demonstrates each stage, from developing ideas with source material to refining sketches, producing final drawings, and adding colour with a range of media, helping pupils balance creativity with practical drawing skills.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original UKS2 Art and design resources. It supports teachers in guiding pupils to use imagination as a foundation for artistic development, encouraging invention, motivation, and problem-solving while building confidence in turning ideas into finished pieces,
