A five-page personal sketchbook designed to be a child’s very first art journal. Each page is a project: self-portrait (drawing), colour mixing test (painting), found-object sculpture (3D), a “Kandinsky-style” colourful-shapes page (artist inspiration), and a final reflection page where they describe their favourite piece of their own work.

This activity book directly supports KS1 NC Ar1/1.1 (use materials creatively to design and make) and the practice habit of “keep a sketchbook” recommended throughout the primary art curriculum.

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.
