Description

In this unit, pupils develop their understanding of how to manipulate digital devices by using painting tools. They practise by creating digital paintings, gaining inspiration from the work of artists whilst reflecting on their preferences when painting with and without the use of digital devices.

This unit introduces pupils to using digital tools for the first time. It builds their confidence and foundational skills in operating digital devices. Before starting, pupils should already know how to turn on and log in to their device. Throughout the unit, they will develop key digital skills they’ll use across the curriculum. In later units these same skills will support pupils as they explore different ways to create and edit digital images and apply these same skills across a range of applications.

  1. Painting using computers
  2. Using lines and shapes to create digital pictures
  3. Creating digital pictures in the style of an artist
  4. Choosing the right digital painting tool
  5. Using the paintbrush tool to create digital pictures
  6. Comparing computer art and painting
