Building confidence in bold mark making
This Art and design video helps teachers support learners in developing expressive mark making skills through large-scale drawing. The lesson focuses on movement, encouraging learners to move away from perfectionism and embrace creativity, expression and experimentation. It highlights the value of using bold materials such as graphite sticks, charcoal and pastels, and offers practical guidance for modelling gestural drawing.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). As part of the Drawing: Expressive drawing and mark making unit, this lesson develops learners’ ability to draw confidently and expressively, using line and mark making to capture movement.
