This activity introduces the form of art known as 'cubism' to the class. It firstly shows how artists can use shapes to make abstract portraits or 'funny faces.' Pupils look at a picture of a face painted in the cubist style and discuss shapes used, position of facial features and colours chosen. They then have an opportunity to make their own cubist face by following the on-screen instructions which add abstract facial features one at a time to their portrait. Pupils then have the opportunity of choosing a colour scheme for their picture and are able to print it.

My Square Mile was initiated by the Design Commission for Wales to encourage the use of the local built environment as an educational resource. * It explores relationships between buildings, space and people to develop design awareness. * It helps children understand how the environment is shaped and managed. * It celebrates local distinctiveness and local identity. * It nurtures emotional attachments and belonging-a sense of place. * It raises issues about what the environment might be like in the future.

This is a colour-mixing activity. It shows pupils what happens when they mix the primary colours red, yellow and blue. Pupils drag and drop colours into a colour-mixing machine that mixes the colours and makes the appropriate secondary colour. Pupils learn the basic colour theory and the terminology 'primary' and 'secondary' colours. They then apply their knowledge to a simple colouring-in exercise where they have a palette of primary colours that they use to make the secondary colours. Follow-up activities using paints have been suggested for pupils to explore colour mixing first hand.

This activity introduces the class to the idea that shapes can be used to draw pictures of everyday objects. Pupils firstly look at a shape picture and discuss the shapes they can see. They are then able to create their own shape picture using a variety of shapes provided on the screen (eg a house, people, animals). Pupils can then use a fill tool to colour their pictures before printing. Practical activities using the idea of shapes in pictures are suggested for individual or group work.
