  1. Portraits with Personality: Drawing with Frida KahloChildren explore the bold, symbolic self-portraits of Frida Kahlo to understand how artists express identity and emotion. They learn accurate facial proportions, practise pencil shading and charcoal tone, and plan a personal self-portrait in their sketchbook.
  2. Colour and Emotion: Painting with ExpressionismChildren discover Expressionism through Edvard Munch's iconic work, learning how colour, distortion and bold brushwork can communicate powerful emotions. They explore colour psychology, practise key painting techniques and plan their own expressive artwork.
  3. Building in Clay: Coil Pots and Ancient CivilisationsChildren explore ancient Greek and Mesoamerican pottery traditions, then learn the coil-building technique to construct their own clay vessel, finishing with incised or relief surface decoration inspired by historical patterns.
  4. Print and Design: Block Printing with Andy WarholChildren explore Andy Warhol's iconic Pop Art screen-prints, learning how repetition, bold colour and positive/negative space create visual impact. They design a graphic image, cut a printing block, and print a repeated series with deliberate colour variation — just like Warhol.
