  1. Sketchbook Explorers: Recording and ObservingChildren discover how sketchbooks work as a personal space to observe and record the world. They learn to draw carefully from observation using pencil, exploring line, tone and shape, then experiment with charcoal to add shade and texture.
  2. Landscapes in Layers: Painting with Paul CézanneChildren discover Paul Cézanne's Post-Impressionist landscapes and learn how to build a painting in layers, mixing colours to create light, shadow and depth — just like Cézanne did when painting Mont Sainte-Victoire.
  3. Structures in Clay: Pinch Pots and Ancient PotteryChildren explore decorated pottery from ancient civilisations, learn how pinch pots are made, practise surface decoration techniques, and evaluate their work against their plans.
  4. Architecture All Around: Design with Zaha HadidChildren discover the dazzling curved buildings of architect Zaha Hadid, learn key architecture vocabulary, and use drawing and collage skills to design their own imaginative structure. They explore how line, form and proportion can make a building feel exciting and alive.
