When creating images and objects to express ideas, thoughts and feelings:

  • chooses and uses technology and a range of media;
  • shows understanding of basic colour theory, for example, which secondary colours are made from mixing primary colours;
  • shows some understanding of the qualities and limitations of selected media, for example, uses pencil instead of a large brush to make fine marks, uses chalks instead of pencil to fill larger spaces;
