Digital Art and Design

Level 1

Use software or an app to create their own digital artwork, which could be 3D, exploring tools such as the pencil, paintbrush, stickers and stamp and also use the undo button;
With teacher help, save and/or export their work.

Level 2

Use software or an app to create their own digital artwork, which could be 3D, using more control and a wider range of tools such as fill, shape and special effects and beginning to consider elements of art such as colour, line, shape, form, space and texture or pattern;
With the teacher’s help, save their work to a specific location and know how to find and open it again; and
Share and review their work (using online tools if appropriate) and talk about what they did and any improvements they could make.

The Arts – F/KS1 Stage

Explore and use a wide range of materials and processes. Children should have opportunities to:

Select and work with traditional and digital media;
Use what they have seen as a stimulus or starting point for individual ideas and personal interpretations;
Talk about the various components which have been incorporated within personal and group responses, such as colours, shapes and patterns, for example, talk about the personal meanings which have arisen in the course of making work, explaining the significance of components and the reasons for their inclusion and position.
