Learner video: Giant spider model part 2

This Art and design video guides learners through the final steps of transforming their class spider sculpture to look like it’s made of bronze. Children begin by painting the entire structure black using large brushes, then use sponges to gently dab on metallic paint, creating a realistic textured effect. The video reminds learners to leave some black areas visible to give the sculpture depth and a more solid, metallic appearance.

This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design framework. It helps learners explore finishing techniques that enhance texture and surface detail, while encouraging discussion about presentation and display. By completing their collaborative sculpture, children celebrate their creativity and teamwork through a dramatic final artwork.
