Painting on the cave wall
This Art and design video guides learners through the process of creating a prehistoric-style painting on a textured cave wall background. Pupils begin by redrawing their animal using a black crayon, then mix and apply colours inspired by natural pigments such as red ochre, burnt umber and charcoal. They practise painting in one direction, applying colour smoothly, and adding patterns or fur textures to bring their animal to life.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design framework. As part of the Prehistoric painting unit, this lesson helps children develop control of painting techniques and use colour expressively.
