Cambridge Primary Art & Design (0067) Stage 3 Scheme of Work
Introduction
This document is a scheme of work created by Cambridge Assessment International Education for Cambridge Primary Art & Design Stage 3.
It contains:
suggested units showing how the learning objectives in the curriculum framework can be grouped and ordered
at least one suggested teaching activity for each learning objective
a list of subject-specific vocabulary and language that will be useful for your learners
sample lesson plans.
You do not need to use the ideas in this scheme of work to teach Cambridge Primary Art & Design Stage 3. It is designed to indicate the types of activities you might use,
and the intended depth and breadth of each learning objective. These activities may not fill all of the teaching time for this stage. You may choose to use other activities
with a similar level of difficulty.
The accompanying teacher guide for Cambridge Primary Art & Design will support you to plan and deliver lessons using effective teaching and learning approaches. You
can use this scheme of work as a starting point for your planning, adapting it to suit the requirements of your school and needs of your learners.
Long-term plan
This long-term plan shows the units in this scheme of work and a suggestion of how long to spend teaching each one. The suggested teaching time is based on 30 hours
of teaching for Art & Design Stage 3. You can adapt the time, units and order of the units based on the requirements of your school and the needs of your learners.
Total 30 hours
Other suggested resources for individual units and/or activities are described in the rest of this document. You can swap these for other resources that are available in
your school.
Websites
There are many excellent online resources suitable for teaching Cambridge Primary Art & Design. Since these are updated frequently, and many are only available in
some countries, we recommend that you and your colleagues identify and share resources that you have found to be effective for your learners.
Experience is a fundamental aspect of the artist process. In Art & Design, learners should always be encouraged to focus on the ongoing experience of tools, equipment,
media, materials and processes and encouraged to ask themselves questions about their use of resources in order that they can make informed choices about their
future work.

Visual journals
Visual journals, or sketchbooks, are a central part of the artistic journey. Learners should use the visual journal to experiment and record thoughts, ideas and reflections
as they develop. The visual journal can be in the form of a book, file or folder.
Warm-up activities
Quick warm-up activities are recommended at the start of the lesson to loosen up the hands and to encourage creative flow. See the Cambridge Primary Art & Design
Teacher Guide for examples of warm-up activities.

Unit 3.1 Colours of the world
By combining knowledge and skills with textile media and colour theory, learners explore cultural traditions and the significance of colour. In this unit, they are
introduced to surface design (print, stitch, fabric manipulation) and constructed textiles (knitting, weaving, crochet). Depending on the resources available, they can
experience weaving, hand embroidery, silk-screen printing, batik, handmade paper, trapunto, applique, knitting, crochet and/or machine embroidery.
Learners explore what the term textiles means and its various forms. They have the opportunity to experience a range of textile surfaces and found objects with
textured surfaces to build on their mark-making skills and their use of descriptive language. They create a small number of drawn responses to the various items
they experience, and this will help them to form a sense of textural contrast and to become aware of different types of fabric. Learners will consider colour in
relation to their own identity, heritage and culture. They will work with different coloured papers to explore close colour relationships and will be introduced to a
number of textiles media and processes throughout their work. At the end of the unit, learners select an idea to work with and produce a final outcome exploring
the textiles skills learnt in a focused way.
Learners will be encouraged to think and work artistically by working with growing independence in generating ideas and in refining their work. In making their
artwork, they will be supported in making appropriate decisions about content and medium. Learners will be encouraged to celebrate their work and that of other
learners by giving and receiving feedback.
Learners will build on art and design skills developed in earlier stages:
working with textiles
developing ideas and understanding through observational drawing
manual dexterity in holding tools, such as in needlework
using descriptive language for texture and colour
being able to respond to others’ work and provide feedback to their peers.

This activity could progress to creating a weave using strips of fabric, wool,
ribbons and threads if small hand looms or frames are available. This activity can also be carried out in knitting

Temporary looms can be created by threading the material between the backs
of two chairs. This would be a good activity for learners to do in pairs or in
small groups. Larger or thicker strips of fabric will enable the piece to be

Unit 3.2 Shapes and spaces
Learners will explore the work of other relevant artists and learn how to record visual information from observation and how to develop observational studies
through print media.
They will then consider positive and negative shapes and how these can be used to make the image abstracted and create a design as opposed to making a
representational image. Throughout the unit learners will be introduced to different print methods and different ways to respond to their surroundings.
At the end of the unit, learners select two different print forms to combine and explore their ideas.

Unit 3.3 Abstract and imaginary forms
Learners are introduced to a range of characters and asked to create their own example based on what they have discussed and their own experiences. Initially
learners will work with ideas from their imagination but throughout the unit they will be shown how other artists and designers use research to develop and refine
ideas.
Learners will use different methods to gather visual imagery, such as observational studies, using photographs and found images. They will also be introduced to
the work of other artists and be asked to carry out research into their working methods. This will help learners consider the approach they will take in developing
their own character. They are also introduced to using proportion.
At the end of the unit, learners use their skills and knowledge to create their character as a 3D form and to present this in an appropriate environment.
Resources:
These resources are suggested for the example activities described in this unit. You and your learners may choose to use different media depending on
preference, confidence and availability:

Unit 3.3 Abstract and imaginary forms
Learners reflect on this task and make notes in their visual journals.
Ask learners to work in pairs. One learner describes what their character looks
like and the other draws what they hear. The pairs can swap roles so that they
each have a turn at describing and drawing.
Learners discuss what they think of the character that has been drawn and if it
relates to their original idea of what they were describing. Learners should note
down any differences and whether they would incorporate this into their original
idea.
You could also ask learners to design a
