Figure drawing is one of the artist's essential skills you can by learn using basic shapes and applying an understanding of human proportions.

Pupil outcome: I can render a 3D sketch to show the light source and effect. Key learning points: - Adding tone with shading to a drawing can enhance the 3D effect. - Adding shadow to 3D drawings can enhance the effect.

Pupil outcome: I can create tone and shadow with a variety of materials to show that a figure is three dimensional. Key learning points: - Heavy or light pressure is used to achieve different tones with a pencil. - We can also show tone...

Pupil outcome: I can render a complex shape and add annotation. Key learning points: - Rendering can be used to enhance complex shapes. - Annotation using subheadings can be used to analyse products.

Pupil outcome: I can understand how maths is used by astrophysicists. Key learning points: - It may not be practical to physically land on different planets - It is possible to use trigonometry to determine terrain features - This is...

Pupil outcome: I can enhance sketches using tone to show depth and texture. Key learning points: - Rendering helps to enhance communication of design ideas. - Rendering can be used to show colour, materials and textures.

Pupil outcome: I can explain how light passes through a pinhole to produce an image in a pinhole camera. Key learning points: - A pinhole camera is an empty, closed box with a tiny hole on the front face and a screen on the back face. -...

Pupil outcome: I can explain that light travels in straight lines. Key learning points: - We need light to be able to see things. - Light travels out from a source of light in all directions. - Light travels in straight lines. -...

Pupil outcome: I can explain that we see things when light travels into the eye. Key learning points: - We need light to see things. - We see things when light enters the eye. - The pupil of the eye is an opening that allows light to...

Pupil outcome: I can investigate the number of shadows that can be cast by an object. Key learning points: - Humans have used light sources to make their lives easier since ancient times. - Scientists and engineers invent and design ways...

Pupil outcome: I can explain how mirrors are reflective materials that are used to change the direction in which light travels. Key learning points: - When light is reflected off the surface of an object, it changes direction. -...

Olbers' Paradox. With so many stars in the universe, why is space black and not white with light? Astrum Answers!

Light pillars are optical phenomena that occur in extremely cold atmospheres, when flat ice crystals form close to the ground. They reflect natural and artificial light in columns that extend through the sky. This captivating spectacle...

We use a prism to split white light into its constituent colours. Light is passed through a slit in a screen before it hits the prism. The prism refracts the light and we can see the different colours. A second slit can be used to see...
