Learner video: Exploring line

This Art and design video introduces learners to the concept of line, encouraging them to explore how different types of lines, such as straight, wavy, curved or zigzagged, can be created using a variety of drawing materials. It prompts learners to experiment with control by holding tools in different ways and using the tip, edge or side of the material. The video also introduces the idea of pressure, helping learners understand how pressing harder or lighter can change the appearance of their lines.

This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design framework. It helps learners build confidence through hands-on exploration, supporting the development of fine motor skills, observation and self-expression. Through playful experimentation, this unit encourages children to see drawing as a way to make their mark and begin their creative journey.
