A substantial final outcome activity designed to bring together the skills developed throughout a Heidi Vilkman-inspired Art project.

Students plan and create their own original animal or creative composition, combining detailed decoration with repeated patterns, shapes, flowers, leaves, small motifs and bold harmonious colour.

The worksheet focuses on detail, intricate design, harmony, balance, focal point and composition, encouraging students to make independent artistic decisions and produce a polished final piece.

An extension challenge asks students to develop the artwork further with an imaginative background such as a magical forest, starry night or underwater world.

Perfect as a final assessment piece, end-of-project activity, KS3 artist study outcome, independent Art lesson, extension task or portfolio piece.
