Fabulous Flamingo - Year 2
VAS1.1 Makes artworks in a particular way about experiences of real and imaginary things.
Why are flamingos pink?
- investigates details of objects, places and spaces and other living things (e.g. windows and doorways in old or new buildings, the shapes of shadows, patterns of shells, animals kept in captivity or in the wild)
- talks about significant features and relationships within their artworks, referring to such things as size, scale, proportion, colour.
- perceiving (noticing the physical features of flamingos i.e. their long legs and necks and their pink feathers and skin)
- manipulate (use paint, paper, oil pastels and collage materials to create a picture of a flamingo)
- evaluate (whilst working within a small group students are encouraged to observe the creative process of other students and to compare, suggest, explain, or prefer aspects of their own and their peers creations)
- Direct (Flamingos feeding on Lake Bogoria - BBC)
- drawing using oil pastels

Zentangle flowers - year 3
VAS2.1 Represents the qualities of experiences and things that are interesting or beautiful by choosing among aspects of subject matter.
- talks about and thinks about the intention for artmaking and recognises how these affect their selection of ideas, materials, tools and techniques and methods of working.
- identifies resemblances between subject matter in artworks and the features of things as they exist in the world, recognising similarities and differences in how things are represented in the artworks.
- expresses opinions about how well subject matter that is represented in particular forms refers to the world, and appreciates the skills involved to achieve these effects.
- manipulating (experiment with pattern making through drawing, and tone through painting).
- perceiving (noticing patterns in nature)
- evaluating (discuss use of patterns in Zentangle examples, in own artworks and those of peers, evaluate how effectively patterns have been used to represent flora)
