A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 4, Formal Elements of Art.

This resource is designed to support the pupils as they explore the fundamental elements that make up artistic compositions. It introduces key vocabulary such as texture, pattern, reflection, symmetrical, and abstract, helping the pupils understand how artists use these elements to create balance, contrast, and movement in their work. The pupils will also learn about different materials such as charcoal and printing blocks and how they can be used to produce unique artistic effects. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and encouraging creativity. The pupils will experiment with mark-making, symmetry, and different techniques to create their own abstract compositions while developing their observational and technical skills.

Note: This resource is from our archived Art & design scheme, which is still available, but is no longer updated to reflect any curriculum changes or publishing updates.
