Differentiation

Learners needing support:

  • Learners could use different colours to identify positive and negative spaces. They may find it easier to colour in the solid shapes and outline the negative spaces.
  • Learners can just draw the positive shapes they see in the cardboard sculpture.
  • Learners could keep their plan for their paired sculpture simple and focus on using big shapes. Discuss how these would be joined to be free-standing.  

Learners working at a stretch:

  • Learners should be encouraged to look for shapes in the negative space and exaggerate them when drawing the cardboard structure. Ask: What shape does that remind you of? Can you make the shape clear in your drawing?
  • Learners could be encouraged to try rearranging the shapes they draw, maybe leaving gaps between positive and negative shapes they have identified to enhance the abstract effect of their drawings.
  • Learners should review their ideas when planning their sculptures and adapt them if needed, based on decisions about how parts will be joined or what materials will be used.
