The skills learnt in this sequence can be transferred to other eras Links to future learning and styles of art work. The painting and texture skills can be built upon when looking at art in different mediums (form/texture). It also gives pupils an opportunity to compare the artistic style of this historic period with other eras of artistic significance. For example, comparing this with Surrealist art later in the year.

SEND: Focus on the use of colour and shape when painting the vase, using the image banks as inspiration. Context (big picture learning) During this unit of art lessons, learning will primarily be focused upon developing the artistic skills recognised from the Ancient Greek Period. These skills provide pupils with the opportunity to painting, design and drawing techniques, working on their use of shape, form, tone and design skills. These skills can then be applied to other mediums of art and are skills that are consistently built upon throughout the various art units in the year. This unit of art, alongside others in Cycle B, contextualise the development of art to what it is in the modern day and how art design has evolved over time. Art provides the children with a creative outlet to learning, whilst embedding knowledge of other subjects through cross-fertilisation.
