This Art and design video guides learners in creating expressive painted or collaged backgrounds to complement their poem portraits. Learners explore how colour, shape and texture can reflect personality and mood, experimenting with different materials and techniques to build a layered, meaningful backdrop.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). In the Stage 5 Painting and mixed media: Portraits unit, this lesson helps learners develop their skills in visual composition and creative decision-making.
