A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 3, Painting and mixed media: Prehistoric painting.

This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore prehistoric art through drawing, painting, and printing techniques. It introduces key vocabulary including charcoal, smudging, scale up, pigment, and Stone Age, helping pupils understand how natural materials were used to create early artwork. Pupils learn to mix natural paints, identify positive and negative prints, and experiment with texture and bold shapes, echoing ancient cave paintings. The unit encourages observation, historical awareness, and creative responses to early art forms.
