The book:

sets out clearly the progression of skills to be taught
gives examples of how the skills can be applied
contains carefully planned, clearly laid-out lesson plans
provides examples of pupils' artwork for every lesson
covers all of the National Curriculum Programmes of Study related to drawing

Reviews

I think this is going to be a really useful resource for teachers. I like the format – in particular the emphasis on key skills and the way they are introduced, revisited and consolidated. Judy Grahame, Consultant for Art and Design. To read the full review, click here.

The last book in the series looks at how children leave schema behind and move on it drawing. At Years 5 and 6 observational drawing is developed alongside narrative drawing as both have their place, just as notes or plans for written work exist alongside extended writing. Start.
