Focusing on detail through photography
This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through an exploration of macro photography as an art form. Inspired by Edward Weston, the lesson encourages learners to closely observe natural forms and create powerful abstract images. Teachers are supported in helping learners make thoughtful decisions about composition, background, lighting and editing techniques.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, aligned with the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). In the Craft and design: Photo opportunity unit, this lesson develops learners’ visual literacy and photography skills while fostering curiosity and creativity.
