Landscapes unit of work - Upper KS2

For teachers in Upper KS2, this unit of work (6 sessions initially, but could be extended through giving children more time to experiment with different designs/sketches and media, as well as linking to other subjects such as through creating biographies of the focus artist) focuses on the technicalities behind landscape drawing and painting. Towards the end of the unit, children will design their own landscape drawing and then collage it in the style of contemporary artist, Gordon Cheung (who they will also study). I have linked their final landscape to the Isle of Wight as the class had just been their for PGL, but this could easily be changed to link in to your local area and therefore inspire children more. Some PowerPoints are referred to, but not included here because they are somebody else’s work, however alternative ideas have been given, enabling you to create similar resources. TPs refers to Talk Partners (children have a fixed talk partner for the week to work with when discussing ideas).
