Lesson 5: Multimedia superheroes part 3

Children finish their compositions by making them 'pop', adding bright pastels in sections and applying a black shadow highlight so the figures stand out

Before the lesson

Learning objective

  • To work together to create a large scale artwork

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
  • Be taught 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

Success criteria

Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: As the pupils are working in pairs, the children can support each other in the choices of which areas to work pastels into and which to leave with a wash background only.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Refining areas already completed to improve the coverage (leaving fewer gaps in the pastel/paint); remark the black lines in pen to make the key lines more defined.
