Key Stage 2

Art KS2 Unit 4C (Year 3/4): Journeys

In this unit children explore how signs, symbols and metaphors can be used to communicate ideas and meanings about a journey. They produce a mixed-media work, combining drawing, painting, collage and print-making techniques. They learn about artists, craftspeople and designers who communicate their ideas through signs and symbols.
