Scaling up collage designs
This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to a lesson where Key stage 2 pupils scale up a small section of their sweet wrapper collage into a large painting. It combines mathematical precision with artistic creativity, guiding pupils through drawing and using grids to enlarge their designs accurately. The video demonstrates each step, from tracing a chosen section and transferring it square by square onto larger paper to painting with bold colours, smooth brushwork, and attention to detail for striking results.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original UKS2 Art and design resources. It supports teachers in helping pupils link maths and art, develop scaling and painting techniques, and build confidence in working on large-scale creative projects.
