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 is designed to be pupils' first experience of using digital tools, providing them with the necessary skills to effectively operate digital devices. Prior to the unit, they should have learnt how to switch on and log in to their device. In later units, pupils will apply these principles to the creation and manipulation of other forms of digital images as well as applying learnt digital skills to effective use in other applications.
