Pupils needing extra support

Can be encouraged to focus on just one section, such as a petal; may find it helpful to look at a petal detached from the plant to draw the shape on its own; can stick this down next to their work to draw the shape a few times and practise sketching with light pressure; can add a thin layer of ink or watercolour over the petal and take a print of it if the petals are large enough; should use the magnifying glass to study the details of the petal and add these over the top of the print in pencil or fine liner pen.

Pupils working at greater depth  

Could be encouraged to add tones of colour to their drawing; could work in monotones, using different tones of black ink to add shades.
