I taught this lesson, as part of a whole school Art day, to Key Stage 2 pupils (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6). The kids really loved it and added some very creative touches to their walls! This can be done in a single lesson or extended to cover two lessons. Students do pastel rubbings on black card, then add white pastel lines, to create a brick wall backdrop. Then, they trace over ‘graffiti style’ lettering (on A4 paper), to create their own ‘democratic’ words, to paste onto their brick wall. They will colour these in using the felt tip pens. I have detailed all the equipment needed in the flipchart and given lots of photos to guide you through each stage of the artwork. I’ve also included templates for the graffiti lettering.

10 minute video lesson designed for remote learning - suitable for Key Stage 1 or 2 (with suggested challenges for Key Stage 2 at the end of the video). Students will be taught what sculptures are and instructed on making a tree sculpture from found objects.

7 minute video designed for home learning. Teaches students about the history of the artform of silhouettes and then instructs them in how to complete a modern art project to create their own, using a biro and the lyrics of their favourite song.
