This Art and design video introduces learners to printing with paint using textured objects to create colourful patterns. The activity encourages experimentation with shape, layering and mixed media techniques.

This Art and design video guides learners through a hands-on painting activity inspired by Jasper Johns’s ‘Zero to Nine’. Learners begin by drawing the numbers 0 to 9 on an A3 sheet and then use primary colours (red, yellow and blue) to paint inside the shapes.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a follow-up lesson on colour, focusing on mixing paints and applying them in response to the work of artist Jasper Johns.  The lesson centres around recreating Johns’ ‘Zero to Nine’ artwork, encouraging both creative freedom and technical refinement.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering an introductory lesson on colour. It introduces learners to basic colour theory by exploring how the three primary colours, red, blue and yellow, can be combined to create secondary colours.

This Art and design video guides learners in creating a final portrait using shape-based sketches and colouring techniques.

This Art and design video helps learners develop their colouring skills by focusing on grip, pressure and technique. Learners are guided through how to hold a pencil for effective colouring, using the side of the tip to fill spaces with smooth, even colour. The video introduces key concepts such as pressure, direction and control, encouraging learners to avoid gaps, maintain consistent colour and stay within the lines.

This Art and design video introduces learners to the idea of building portraits using simple shapes, helping them observe facial features in a new and creative way. Inspired by Paul Klee’s artwork Senecio, children are encouraged to look closely at a face and identify shapes like circles, triangles, rectangles and organic forms to represent each part.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson that combines the formal elements of line and shape through the creation of abstract portraits. It guides teachers in helping children work directly onto printed images of faces, making creative decisions about how to represent each part using geometric forms.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson focused on connecting lines to form shapes, encouraging children to explore both geometric and organic forms. It helps learners recognise familiar shapes such as circles, triangles and rectangles in different orientations, while introducing the term ‘organic’ to describe freeform, irregular shapes. The video guides teachers in modelling how different types of lines, for example straight, curved, wavy or dashed, can be used to create a wide variety of shapes.
