This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through the process of planning a still life composition in preparation for painting. Learners explore how to arrange objects thoughtfully, working individually or in small groups to create an effective layout. They experiment with positioning, contrast, and layering, then sketch their chosen composition, thinking ahead to the painting techniques they’ll use in the next lesson.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design framework. As part of the Light and dark unit, this lesson helps learners understand visual composition and prepare for a more considered approach to painting.
