William Morris KS2 – Art medium-term plan

What's included?

3-page medium-term plan PDF

Key Stage

KS2

Age

Years 3-6

Subjects

This William Morris KS2 unit fits in perfectly with work around the Victorians. There are also aspects that could also be adapted to learning around the theme of homes in KS1.

The series of lessons build towards children producing and evaluating a final piece of work using printmaking. It follows a clear structure, involving several lessons of research and experimentation followed by designing, creating and evaluating a final print.

At the end of each session, encourage pupils to evaluate how effective their work has been and to think critically about anything they could improve or challenges they came across.
