Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can use templates and monoprinting to cut out shapes accurately.

- Templates can be used to help an artist recreate the same shape several times.
- Templates and monoprinting are both processes that can help an artist to cut shapes accurately.
Keywords
Scissors - a tool used to cut paper
Template - a guide that helps you copy something
Monoprinting - to create a one off copy of something
Common misconception
Scissors should be held with the thumb on the bottom, and the index finger on the top.
Remind children that scissors should be used with the thumb on top, nearest to the ceiling. Scissors should also be held in the same position, cutting away from the body with the paper being moved.
Teacher tip
Teachers may wish to cut the template in additional materials down to single shapes rather than giving the pupils multiple shapes on a sheet. This will make manipulating the paper more managable for pupils.
Equipment
scissors, templates, marbled papers, masking tape
