Painting Skills - Lesson 1 - Painting a tonal range based on Rousseau - Primary/secondary students

This lesson uses a dyslexic-friendly font and background colours to enhance accessibility.

The PowerPoint includes differentiated resources (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and a “settler” question to spark discussion as students enter the room, promoting engagement from the start. Throughout, there is a strong literacy focus, with students exploring painting skills by mixing white and black paints to create a full tonal range. The lesson wraps up with a fun, interactive plenary where students use their observational skills to organize colours around the room, encouraging movement and collaboration.
