This Art and design video supports teachers as learners explore a variety of painting techniques to represent animals in imaginative ways. From stippling and pointillism to washes and textured paints, the video demonstrates how different methods can be used to create depth, texture and mood. Learners are encouraged to experiment with tools and materials, extending their understanding of how artists like Lisa Ericson work creatively with paint.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). In the Painting and mixed media: Artist study unit, this lesson builds practical skills while inspiring expressive, personal responses to animal themes.
