Lesson 5: Exploring impasto

Learners needing support:

• Could be provided with pre-cut shapes to paint or decorate, reducing the complexity of cutting and shaping the card.
• Should use the Resource: How to make impasto as a prompt.
• Could take on simpler roles in the group, like painting large areas or applying glue.
• Could choose from a smaller range of colours to simplify decision-making.

Learners working at a stretch:

• Could add extra elements, such as textured details or patterns that mimic real food textures (e.g. cereal or fruit details).
• Could experiment with blending colours.
• Could be assigned group leadership roles, for example, coordinating the final arrangement on the plate.
