Exploring line
This teacher support video accompanies the Kapow Art and Design unit and provides guidance for delivering a lesson on line-making techniques. Designed for Stage 1 learners, the video helps you introduce children to the expressive potential of line through control and pressure, using a range of drawing materials such as colouring pencils, chalks, oil pastels and charcoal. The video also highlights the work of artist Bridget Riley, whose optical line art provides inspiration and vocabulary for classroom discussion and artistic experimentation.
Part of Kapow’s Art and design resources aligned with the Cambridge Primary Art & Design framework, this video supports teachers in leading purposeful, engaging lessons that nurture creativity and self-expression from the very start.
