Teacher skills video: Introduction to visual journals
This Art and design video introduces teachers to the use of visual journals across all stages of learning. It explains how visual journals can support creativity, reflection and skill development by providing learners with a personal space to explore materials, record ideas and document progress throughout the artistic process.
Learner video: Observational drawing
This Art and design video guides learners through an observational drawing activity focused on close looking and careful sketching. Using real flowers or images, learners are encouraged to observe details such as shape, size and placement while sketching what they see.
Learner video: Paper animal sculptures
This Art and design video introduces learners to a sculpture activity using simple paper and card techniques. Learners practise folding, rolling and assembling shapes to create imaginative animal sculptures, such as snakes and birds, while developing fine motor skills and understanding form.
Learner video: Drawing with scissors
This Art and design video demonstrates a hands-on collage activity inspired by the work of Henri Matisse. The activity encourages creativity, experimentation and control with scissors.
Learner video: Drawing self-portraits
This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through an activity focused on observational skills and symmetry.
