Teacher video: Pinch pots

This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through the process of making and decorating a clay pinch pot using the score and slip technique. Inspired by the work of ceramic artist Ran Thi Bam, children create thumb pots by shaping clay with their hands, then practise joining and decorating with added clay features.

Learner video: Clay modelling techniques

This Art and design video introduces learners to basic clay techniques, showing them how to roll, shape and make marks in clay using their hands, simple tools and everyday objects. Learners practise creating smooth surfaces, rolling sausages and balls and experimenting with different textures and patterns.

Teacher video: Clay modelling techniques

This Art and design video supports teachers in introducing learners to basic clay techniques. Children explore how to shape, roll and flatten clay using their hands, tools and everyday objects. They learn how to create surface marks and textures using items like buttons, Lego bricks and string, and begin to understand how varying pressure can produce different effects.

Learner video: Adding detail

This Art and design video guides learners as they add detail to their finished collages using a range of materials and techniques. They learn how to use fine brushes, pastels or other tools to enhance their work with small features, patterns or textures.

Teacher video: Contrast and detail

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering the final lesson of the unit, where children revisit their collages to develop and refine them further. The video encourages children to reflect on their work, try new techniques on scraps first and make thoughtful decisions about how to enhance their collages.

Teacher video: Collage creation

This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through the process of composing and creating their own collages using painted and textured papers. Learners reflect on their earlier work, make decisions about shapes, colours and arrangement and experiment with tearing or cutting materials to create varied effects.

Learner video: Making collage paper

This Art and design video guides learners as they create textured and patterned paper to use in a future collage. They are encouraged to reflect on their choices and consider how their painted paper will be used in their final artwork.

Teacher video: Texture and collage

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson focused on preparing painted materials for collage, inspired by the textures and patterns explored during the previous texture hunt. Children experiment with painting techniques to create textured and patterned paper, which will later be used in their own collages. The lesson encourages observation, creativity and reflection on how artists use both texture and colour in their work.

Learner video: Rough, prickly, smooth

This Art and design video demonstrates how to create texture using paint and a variety of tools. The activity encourages experimentation, colour mixing and expressive mark-making to capture different textures.
