Year 2 Art & Design Lesson Plans
4 free Year 2 Art & Design lesson plans for KS1. Each includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, a timed lesson structure and common misconceptions, and downloads as an editable Word document.
In Year 2, pupils consolidate and extend the skills introduced in Year 1, working with greater confidence and intention across drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture. They begin to make more deliberate choices about materials, tools and techniques, and develop the habit of reflection on their own and others' work.
