Bees, Beetles and Butterflies

Project overview

This project teaches children about illustrators and scientific drawings. They sketch insects and combine materials to create detailed illustrations.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy โ€“ Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express โ€“ to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones Art and Design Curriculum and is not sold separately.
