A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 4, Every Picture Tells a Story.

This resource is designed to support the pupils as they explore how artists use visual storytelling to convey meaning and emotion. It introduces key vocabulary such as narrative, abstract, pop art, re-enact, and preparatory drawing, helping the pupils understand how different artistic styles can be used to communicate ideas. The pupils will also study works by artists including Paula Rego, David Hockney, Pieter Brueghel, Edward Hopper, and Fiona Rae, analysing how their paintings and prints tell stories through composition, colour, and subject matter. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and encouraging creativity by allowing the pupils to interpret and create their own narrative artwork.
