Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: May need reminding about using the brushes to effectively cover the model in paint – dabbing with the brush rather than just stroking it to get the paint into difficult to reach places.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Could talk about the way the metallic paint doesn’t reach into the gaps, creating shadowed areas. They will be the ones to spot areas that need more/less paint.
