Creates manual and/or digital sketches to represent ideas.

Recognises 2D and 3D shapes and how they can be used to visually represent ideas/concepts.
Representing ideas, concepts and products through a variety of graphic media
I can explore and experiment with sketching, manually or digitally, to represent ideas in different learning contexts

Explore & experiments with manual & digital sketching & drawing methods to represent my ideas i.e. begin to use rulers, protractors, compasses & digital tools to create more accurate shapes. Represent & communicate my ideas for a simple design or product using manual and/or digital sketches. Represent ideas & concepts visually by arranging lines & shapes & using colour, pattern & texture for a range of purposes across my learning e.g. to design & create a poster, a scientific experiment/idea or a map.
Name & draw all basic 2 D shapes e.g. circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, diamonds & kites. Name & use the primary & secondary colours within my designs.
Explore & experiment with ways to arrange shapes & colours for different purposes across my learning e.g. creating diagrams or displays. Use manual & digital ways to represent pattern & texture in my designs.

With support, begin to explore manual & digital ways to represent 3 D shapes.

  Explore & use an increasing range of manual & digital methods to represent 2 & 3 D shapes.
