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.
