This Art and design video demonstrates how to create a collage using photocopied mechanical images. The activity encourages careful cutting, layout experimentation, and introduces surface preparation techniques for scratch art.

This Art and design video encourages learners to imagine how their repeating pattern designs could be used on real-life products. Learners explore the connection between craft and the design industry by arranging copies of their tile to create a repeated pattern, then think about how it might look on items like cushions, curtains or clothing. They also reflect on the full design journey from initial drawing to product idea.

This Art and design video introduces learners to a simple paper method for creating repeating patterns, inspired by design techniques. By dividing a square and rearranging shapes, they create abstract motifs and explore how small designs can become repeatable patterns.

This Art and design video shows teachers how to guide learners in creating repeatable patterns inspired by organic shapes found in nature. The video demonstrates a paper-based tiling method, helping learners understand how a small design can be repeated to form a larger pattern, a traditional technique still used in design today.

This Art and design video demonstrates a simplified batik technique using glue and paint to create fabric patterns. The activity encourages creativity, experimentation with textile processes, and an understanding of texture and pattern.

This Art and design video demonstrates how to design a textile pattern inspired by abstract animal drawings. The activity encourages learners to explore shape, repetition and composition using tracing techniques, while developing ideas for fabric-based artwork.

This Art and design video introduces learners to a simplified batik technique using PVA glue and acrylic paint to create fabric patterns inspired by their own abstract animal drawings. Learners explore pattern design and material use, drawing directly onto fabric with glue before applying colour in later lessons.

This Art and design video demonstrates how to create magnified drawings of an animal or insect using a viewfinder. The activity develops learners’ observational skills as they explore texture, colour and detail in preparation for textile design work.

This Art and design video supports learners in developing observational drawing skills through abstraction. Using a viewfinder, learners select and draw four different sections of an animal image, exploring line, shape and texture in close detail.
