Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Support children by drawing the basic shapes with them and then allow them to focus on adding the details and textures. Use a photograph of a toy (or of their own) and take a light photocopy of this. Children can work on top so that they can focus on observing and drawing the texture and details with mark making.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Encourage these children to work in colour and to use marks to imply tone.
