Colouring with control and technique
This Art and design video helps learners develop their colouring skills by focusing on grip, pressure and technique. Learners are guided through how to hold a pencil for effective colouring, using the side of the tip to fill spaces with smooth, even colour. The video introduces key concepts such as pressure, direction and control, encouraging learners to avoid gaps, maintain consistent colour and stay within the lines.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design curriculum framework (0067). It supports learners in building the foundational skills needed for effective colouring, helping them gain confidence in using materials with care and intention. By practising even colouring, learners take an important step in developing their overall control and visual expression in art.
