Sketching details by looking closely
This Art and design video helps children develop their observational drawing skills by encouraging them to slow down and look closely at real objects. Learners explore how to show texture using different types of marks, like jagged lines for rough surfaces or feathery strokes for soft textures. They learn to draw what they truly see, not what they think they see.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design curriculum framework (0067). In the Drawing: Developing drawing skills unit, this lesson helps learners to develop their skills applying texture and tone.
