Lesson 5: Adding texture and depth

Learners needing support

• Could use a tray or surface to help control the paint, especially for techniques like dripping, flicking or pouring. They should attach their paper inside the tray with sticky tack and blend the paints by moving the tray.
• Could use simple tools like a paintbrush or sponge to make textures.

Learners working at a stretch

• Could use handmade or unusual tools or materials, like fabric or found objects, to apply paint and create interesting textures.
• Could find interesting and unusual ways to use the same tool, like using their other hand or a different part of the tool to add paint.
