This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a hands-on, exploratory lesson about colour mixing. Building on prior experience, children revisit primary and secondary colours, experimenting with how varying the amounts of each can create a range of results. Using thinned paint on damp paper fixed in trays, learners observe how colours blend and change when allowed to flow freely, tilting the tray to guide the process.

This Art and design video demonstrates how to sketch and refine a drawing from observation using tone and texture. The activity encourages close looking, confident mark making and the development of accuracy and expression.

This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through the first of two lessons focused on drawing from observation. The video encourages careful observation, use of shape to build structure and a lighter pencil touch to allow for refining and revisiting over time.

This Art and design video introduces learners to tonal shading and how artists use tone to show light and dark areas in a drawing. Learners explore different pencil grips and practise creating smooth transitions from dark to light using controlled pressure and consistent direction.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson on tonal shading, introducing learners to the concept of tone and its importance in creating depth, contrast and form in art. The video explores how tonal variation helps make two-dimensional drawings appear three-dimensional, guiding teachers in modelling techniques such as shading, gradation and observational drawing. It also encourages monochromatic activities to help children focus on tone without the distraction of multiple colours.

This Art and design video introduces learners to the concept of texture by encouraging them to explore how different surfaces feel and how these sensations can be described.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a comprehensive introduction to a range of drawing materials, focusing on their properties, uses and classroom suitability. From pencils and graphite sticks to charcoal, wax crayons, oil pastels and soft pastels, the video explores how each medium can support children’s growing understanding of tone, texture and mark making.

This Art and design video supports teachers in delivering a lesson that introduces children to a variety of drawing materials and techniques. Building on prior experience, learners explore how to use tools like charcoal, chalk, wax crayons and pastels to create different textures and effects.
