This Art and design video invites learners to create a 3D tree of life using paper-shaping techniques. The activity encourages imaginative thinking, planning and creative exploration of the natural world.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson where children apply their paper-shaping skills to create a 3D drawing inspired by the tree of life. After exploring examples of tree of life imagery from different cultures, learners plan their own ideas before building a sculptural artwork using folded, rolled and shaped paper strips. The activity encourages creative thinking, storytelling and problem-solving as children bring their trees to life in three dimensions.

This Art and design video introduces learners to creating 3D drawings by shaping and assembling strips of paper. The activity encourages experimentation, spatial awareness and creative construction.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson that explores how paper can be shaped and assembled to create three-dimensional drawings. Children experiment with folding, cutting, rolling and glueing paper strips to build sculptural compositions on a flat base. The video offers guidance on modelling key techniques and encourages collaborative learning, with learners sharing their methods and supporting each other in shaping and attaching paper.

This Art and design video introduces sculpture through a tube tower activity using rolled paper. The activity encourages creativity, problem-solving and an understanding of 3D form.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson that introduces children to sculpture by exploring how paper can be rolled to create three-dimensional forms. Using simple materials, learners experiment with making paper tubes and arranging them to construct freestanding structures. The video helps teachers guide children through the key concept of sculpture as a form of 3D art, encouraging discussion, problem-solving and peer collaboration.

This Art and design video guides learners in painting plates inspired by Clarice Cliff’s circle tree design. The activity encourages colour mixing, contrast and playful paint techniques.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson inspired by the work of Clarice Cliff, focusing on her iconic circle tree design. Learners create their own decorative paper plate, using bold concentric circles and a contrasting black tree silhouette. The video guides teachers through the process of mixing bright colours from primary paints and applying them carefully to form even, layered circles. It also introduces a playful technique for painting tree silhouettes using black paint and straws.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson focused on refining painting techniques through colour mixing.  This activity encourages experimentation with tone and shade, helping children understand how subtle changes in mixing can create a wide range of results.
