Lesson 3: Drawing with scissors

Learners needing support

Should ensure they have suitable scissors and follow the advice for cutting out (cut roughly around a shape to separate it from the page, then cut more precisely, taking breaks when needed); could consider enlarging the Activity: Collage images to assist cutting out; may need to be reminded to colour with the wax crayons in several directions to cover the card fully.

Learners working at a stretch

Should be able to cut images to a range of sizes with confidence; could be challenged to create a composition that contains strong contrast between sizes and shapes of images and the way they are positioned; should be able to describe their decisions over the placement of elements in their compositions.
