ICT at key stages 1 and 2 (Year 4)

Unit 4B: Developing images using repeating patterns
Section 6: SHORT FOCUSED TASKS

Objectives

Children should learn:

key idea: that ICT can be used to recreate images made by hand
key idea: that a screen image can be a finished product
technique: to use 'save as' to keep drafts

Activities		Outcomes
		Children:
Ask children to create a number of black and white templates for stained-glass windows using felt pens or ink, possibly inspired by the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh or from sketches of local church windows. Scan a number of sketches into the computer as a starting point for work on light and colour. Show the children how to use 'save as' to save drafts. Ask children to experiment with colours by flood filling the templates with various colours and ask them to use 'save as' to keep versions which work well. Discuss the quality of light created.		recognise that a screen image can be a finished product save drafts which show the development of their design

Points to note

Black outlines may need retouching to prevent the flood fill from leaking.

Children's work could be incorporated into an electronic 'art gallery' as part of the school's home page on the Internet. This encourages children to see the version on screen as the final one.
