What you’ll learn
I can apply different styles to my actions to bring my graffiti ideas to life.
Key learning points
- Move: performing actions to represent graffiti letters requires control, coordination and flow.
- Think: deciding on how to interlock different graffiti letters with our actions requires evaluation.
- Feel: giving honest feedback and supporting others to improve demonstrates integrity.
- Connect: respecting others involves creating our work in places where it is appropriate.
Words to know
- wildstyle
- a specialised form of graffiti
- respect
- due regard or admiration
- interlocking
- when two (or more) things overlap / fit together
Common mistakes
Pupils think that interlocking requires us to connect together using our hands and arms.
Interlocking involves two or more things fitting together or overlapping, which could be done using a range of different body parts.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Using the imagery of jigsaw puzzle pieces fitting together can help pupils to visualise the term 'interlocking'.
