Observational skills
This Art and design video helps children develop their observational drawing skills by encouraging them to slow down and look closely at real objects. Pupils explore how to show texture using different types of marks—like jagged lines for rough surfaces or feathery strokes for soft textures—and learn to draw what they truly see, not what they think they see.
