Keywords
Shape - a two-dimensional area with a defined boundary, like a circle, square, or triangle
Combine - to bring together different elements to form a whole
Detail - a small part of something that adds to its overall appearance

Common misconception
Pupils may think the shapes they use need to be perfect or uniform when sketching.
Remind children of the difference between organic and geometric shapes. Organic shapes do not need to be uniform or perfect.
