Visual Arts Planning: Still Life

image_pdf

Still life provides learners with a great opportunity to practise both observational and experimental drawing skills.

This selection of resources helps children tackle still life in an imaginative way while increasing their knowledge and experience of drawing materials. The projects in this collection offer ways to explore still life through expressive mark-making using a range of exciting media such as ink, pastels and collage and paint.

Tell us what you are planning to cover or explore this term in your school or institution and we’ll recommend resources or learning approaches which we think might feed your teaching.
