Sketching and drawing
This Art and design video explains how to teach children to “see like an artist” by observing objects carefully and breaking them down into simple shapes. They explore how sketching lightly with the side of a pencil helps plan and refine drawings. Pupils practise observing real-life objects, hunting for geometric and irregular shapes to sketch, focusing on outline and proportion rather than detail.
