Observational skills
This Art and design video explains how to encourage children to observe objects closely and add detail to their drawings. Pupils learn to look carefully at shape, texture, and light, translating what they see into expressive marks. They practise drawing from observation using real objects, noticing fine details and representing different textures through the marks they make.
