This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to a lesson focused on developing shading techniques to represent tone in drawing. It shows how Key stage 2 pupils can experiment with pencil grips, using the detail grip for accuracy and the shading grip for smooth coverage. The video demonstrates each step, from practising with bubble letters to applying the four key rules of shading: one-direction strokes, no gaps, straight edges, and smooth, even tones, helping pupils refine and evaluate their work effectively.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original LKS2 Art and design resources. It supports teachers in guiding pupils to build confidence with tone and shading, encouraging practice, patience, and precision while developing essential drawing skills that can be applied across future art projects.
