Creative Arts - Art Autumn 1

During Autumn 1 we will be completing a Art unit.

'How can we draw a spiral?' 

Key Disciplines:  Drawing, Sketchbooks, Collage

Themes: Pattern, Structure, Movement, Growth, The Human Body, Sound

Outcomes: In this pathway children are enabled to build an understanding about the way they can make marks on a drawing surface. They explore how the way they hold a drawing tool, and move their bodies, will affect the drawings they make. Children will begin to explore mark-making and experiment with how they can use the marks they make in their drawings.

Key Concepts:  

• That drawing is a physical and emotional activity. That when we draw, we can move our whole body.

• That we can control the lines we make by being aware of how we hold a drawing tool, how much pressure we apply, and how fast or slow we move.

• That we can draw from observation or imagination.

• That we can use colour to help our drawings engage others.
