Surface decoration
This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through the process of completing their abstract sculptures with surface decoration. Children reflect on their finished work and explore how texture and colour can enhance their designs. They compare the work of two sculptors, consider how their sculptures are displayed and experienced from different viewpoints, and experiment with paint and materials like paper or fabric to unify or contrast different elements.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design framework. As part of the Abstract shape and space unit, this lesson helps children refine their sculptures through creative decision-making, explore presentation, and respond critically to their own and others’ work.
