Art Academy - Castles - Key Stage 1

In this unit of work children consolidate their knowledge and understanding in two key areas of art and design – printmaking and collage/mixed media work. This is achieved through creative activities that are linked through the common theme of castles.
The package provides the medium term plan, six lessons (each lesson has a MS Powerpoint presentation) and a knowledge organiser. Any additional resources are provided as PDFs.
Strands of Learning:

• Drawing
• Painting
• Collage
• Printmaking
  Children learn about monoprinting and frottage work to create patterned papers. They learn about mosaics and use coloured shapes to create mosaic pictures and to mimic the work of the artist Paul Klee. They also learn about coats of arms and use collage techniques to create their own coat of arms. In their final composition they bring together their previous learning and collage together patterned papers and drawings to create a landscape collage of a castle.
  This unit of work is part of the Art Academy Scheme of Work for children aged 5-11 being developed on behalf of Carousel Education.
