Teacher video: Tints and shades

This Art and design video introduces learners to the concepts of tints and shades by guiding them through the process of mixing paint with black and white. They apply their paint to visual journal pages, gradually adjusting the tone to develop a wider colour range and begin to understand how these changes can affect mood, depth and form.

Learner video: Layering colour

This Art and design video demonstrates how to enhance drawings by layering coloured pencils to create rich tones and depth. The activity encourages learners to experiment with blending pressure and shading direction to achieve realistic textures and effects.

Learner video: Effective composition

This Art and design video demonstrates how to create an effective collage composition using balance focal points and layout. The activity encourages learners to experiment with cutting tearing layering and arranging shapes colours and textures to guide the viewer’s eye.

Learner video: What is proportion?

This Art and design video introduces learners to the concept of proportion and explains why getting proportion right can help make drawings look more realistic and balanced. Through observation and examples, learners explore how to judge size relationships and how artists can play with proportion creatively for effect.

Learner video: Showing texture and tone

This Art and design video demonstrates how to use lines marks and patterns to show texture and tone in drawings. The activity encourages learners to experiment with techniques like crosshatching to suggest light shadow and surface qualities for more realistic artwork.

Learner video: Light and dark

This Art and design video demonstrates how to use tone and shading to make drawings look three-dimensional. The activity encourages learners to observe light and shadow experiment with line pressure and use erasing to create highlights and realistic form.

Teacher video: Drawing with realism

This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners to develop greater control in tonal shading and mark making. Learners build their understanding of proportion and spatial relationships as they compare scale and placement in their drawings.

Learner video: Abstract drawing

This Art and design video demonstrates how to create expressive abstract flower drawings inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe. The activity encourages learners to use viewfinders thumbnail sketches and bold lines to explore scale composition and mark-making in abstract art.

Teacher video: Exploring composition and scale

This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through the process of creating expressive abstract flower drawings, inspired by the work of Georgia O’Keeffe. Learners draw on a large scale, using bold lines and marks to capture close-up sections of flowers in an abstract way, experimenting with media such as markers, chalks and paint.
