Perfect for KS2 classrooms, this engaging download gives teachers everything needed to introduce pupils to one of the most important art techniques: how to create effective, balanced and eye-catching compositions.
Designed with busy teachers in mind, the pack includes a PowerPoint presentation that covers all key teaching points, step by step. This flexible resource can be taught in a single lesson or extended across several sessions, making it easy to adapt to your timetable. Clear teaching slides prompt class discussion and encourage children to think critically about how artists arrange elements in their work.
To support hands-on learning, the pack comes with a composition grid and a set of exemplar images. These can be printed for display, used for group work or given directly to pupils to annotate. Children will explore how real artists use compositional techniques, before applying these skills to their own still-life drawings. With simple classroom objects, such as books, trophies or a globe, pupils will experiment with placement, perspective and balance to create striking artwork of their own.
This resource goes beyond simple drawing practice; it develops visual literacy, creative decision-making and art vocabulary, supporting the national curriculum aims for art and design. By breaking down composition into manageable steps, it helps even the most reluctant artists gain confidence in their skills.
Whether you are preparing an art display, building cross-curricular links, or simply looking to enrich your KS2 art lessons, this downloadable pack provides everything you need in one place.
