Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: The symbolism is important in the picture: Picasso was more interested in the power of the images, so children should keep the detail simple and graphical rather than relying on realism.

Pupils working at greater depth: Should explain the symbols in their artwork, and will have set these out clearly within the composition.
