KS2 Art and Design

About KS2 Art and Design

KS2 Art and Design helps children aged 7–11 explore ideas and develop practical skills. With 10-question quizzes and instant feedback, pupils can build vocabulary for discussing art, practise techniques and learn about influential artists and designers through short, engaging sessions.

Start with core skills in Drawing and Painting, then expand your toolkit with The Language of Art. To connect classroom work with culture and history, try Great Artists and Designers and discover the people behind famous movements and masterpieces.

Use the quizzes for homework, retrieval practice or pre-topic checks. Replaying a quiz after a day or two strengthens recall and encourages children to apply concepts — from colour and composition to materials and processes — in their own creative projects.

See the official Government guidance: Art and design programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should my child use these quizzes?

Encourage short, regular sessions — one quiz at a time works well. Mix topics and revisit any tricky quiz after a couple of days to strengthen memory and confidence.

Do the quizzes cover practical skills and art knowledge?

Yes. Children practise key techniques while learning the vocabulary of art and discovering notable artists and designers. This combination supports both making and understanding art.

Are these quizzes suitable for all KS2 year groups?

Absolutely. The language is clear and age-appropriate for Years 3–6, with a range of topics to suit different abilities. Start with fundamentals and build gradually.
