Investigating visually and recording


Use a variety of ways of recording, e.g. drawing, painting, sketching, constructing, still or video photography;

use these as the basis for further development in a variety of media.

Record information visually in a variety of ways with precision and accuracy;

systematically collate visual information by exploring stimuli from a number of different viewpoints, using one or more types of visual media, e.g. crayon, pencil, ink, etc.

Pupils should continue direct observation in varied contexts and situations and develop more confidence in recording visual information, e.g. site visits, in galleries, museums, heritage centres, at home, in the classroom.

At this stage, pupils should identify and represent in appropriate media the subjects they choose to record, e.g. textures on natural forms, linear features of mechanical forms, colour in landscape.

In order to enhance their ability to identify and use the most appropriate media for expressive or design purposes, pupils should experiment with familiar and new two and three dimensional media in context.

Opportunities should be provided for pupils to learn about visual investigation and recording methods and processes.
