Lesson details
Key learning points
- Painting your background first can help your painting to have a smooth foundation, before adding your subject.
- Artists might use different painting techniques, and other materials, to add interest to their work.
- An artist can reflect on what worked well and what could be better, both while making their work and after finishing it.
Keywords
Panel - one of the separate sections or pieces of the artwork
Background - the part of the artwork that appears furthest from the viewer
Reflect - thinking carefully about the choices made during the creation process
Common misconception
Reflecting on your work only happens when you have finished making it.
Remind children that reflecting on the success of your work and areas that could be improved can happen both during and after the making of your work.
