Learning objective
- To apply an understanding of the features of abstract art.
National curriculum
Pupils should be taught:
- To develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space
- To learn about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Could work in mixed ability pairs and be reminded that they are creating abstract art, guiding them away from the idea of ‘making a picture’.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can be encouraged to try out a variety of compositions of colour and abstract shapes.
