Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6) · Art & design
Painting
Pupils explore colour theory, mixing and application techniques, learning about primary, secondary and complementary colours, tinting, shading and wash methods for different effects. They practise brush control, layering, blending and composition while experimenting with acrylics, watercolour and tempera, and study how mood and purpose influence colour choices. Pupils also develop planning and evaluation skills through preparatory studies and completed pieces.
