Learning objective
- To experiment with the pigments in natural products to make different colours
National curriculum
Pupils should be taught to:
- Improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay]
- Develop their techniques, including their control and their use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Might need help mixing colours and extra support finding successful solutions. Some children may not enjoy handling the natural materials to make paint so could work with a partner in the role of ‘collector and evaluator’ instead.
Pupils working at greater depth: Challenge them to make more advanced colours by manipulating the natural products to suit their own intentions and by applying their knowledge of colour mixing.
