Art plan only - focusing on the work of Daniel Mackie

This is a 7-week unit of work for Art that focuses on the work of Daniel Mackie. It is primarily aimed at Key Stage 2 but can be adapted for other year groups. This unit of work focuses on developing children’s pencil skills, such as cross hatching, hatching and shading. The children can experiment with watercolours, colouring pencils and applying different pressures with their pencil.
The children in my class really enjoyed creating the outline of their chosen animal, drawing the animals habitat inside and then applying the colours to the final drawing.
