Muck, Mess and Mixtures

Project overview

Use Muck, Mess and Mixtures, our pre-planned Year 2 art and design project, to teach children about amazing materials and colour. This project develops children’s knowledge of how to mix colours and apply materials to create unique pieces of art!

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, Develop, Innovate, Express – 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 not sold separately.
