Learner video: Effective composition

This Art and design video teaches learners how to create an effective composition using collage. They explore the importance of balance and focal points, as well as the arrangement of shapes, sizes and colours to guide the viewer’s eye. Through cutting, tearing, layering and experimenting with packaging and paper, learners discover how to use space, texture and layout to produce a visually engaging collage.

This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). In the Stage 4 Drawing with realism: Exploring tone, texture and proportion unit, this lesson helps learners understand composition and apply design principles in creative ways.
