Why this why now
Mark-making helps pupils be more articulate and expressive when drawing. By discovering how different materials can be controlled, combined and synthesised into personal outcomes, pupils can better describe their subject in ways to suit their intentions. At this age, pupils are developing their ability to think and act in imaginative ways and this unit gives them a greater ability to realise their ideas.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Ability to hold art materials using an appropriate grip
- Ability to create simple basic shapes using art media
- Experience of making marks to express feelings in prior learning stage
