Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

May require time to describe objects verbally to another child or adult to support thinking about the textures they will create; could collect words in sketchbooks (from the presentation) and draw a mark next to them as a reminder of different marks; could limit the number of materials if too much choice is overwhelming; could work within a drawn box to define an area to work within; will benefit from being able to touch a similar texture if working from images.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should be encouraged to explore drawing materials they have not used before; can experiment using different surfaces to draw on and explain how they enhance or inhibit the texture they are trying to create; can be recorded in sketchbooks.
