A planning companion for KS1 Art & Design. Maps the pack to all four NC requirements, gives a broader suggested artist roster (with notes on diversity, age-appropriateness, and copyright when reproducing in the classroom), and offers a 6-lesson scheme using the pack’s resources.
Particularly useful is the section on the “no I can’t draw” rule and how to model risk-taking in your own classroom artwork, plus copyright guidance for displaying contemporary art in class.
A three-page introduction to the three art-making techniques named in the KS1 NC: drawing, painting and sculpture. Each page is a structured try-it-yourself project the child can do at home or in class.
Page 1 builds drawing vocabulary (thick, thin, curly, zigzag lines) through a “draw five different lines” exercise. Page 2 introduces colour mixing — the three primary colours making three secondary colours. Page 3 is a hands-on sculpture challenge using only kitchen items (foil, pasta, paper). The worksheet is the START of the activity, not the activity itself.
A sorting game testing whether the child can match an example to the right art-vocabulary word. NC requirement Ar1/1.3 lists seven art-language terms (colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form, space) and this game drills five of them through fast-paced pictorial recognition.
Designed as a short, replayable warm-up before an art lesson.
