Year 1 Art & Design Lesson Plans

Pupils explore the three primary colours — red, yellow, and blue — and discover how mixing them creates secondary colours.

Pupils explore a wide range of drawing tools and surfaces to investigate how different types of line can be used to create marks and shapes.

Pupils are introduced to the art of printmaking through two accessible processes: texture rubbings and mono printing.

Pupils explore clay as a malleable sculptural material, developing hand strength and fine motor control through pinching, rolling, coiling and pressing.
