My Favourite Painting: Analysis & Re-creation Task

This short workbook will guide your students to analyse a range of paintings before choosing one to recreate and write an article about.

It was originally created for Level 3 students to be completed as a remote learning activity during the first lockdown.

The booklet contains 3 activities:

1. RESEARCH - students are asked to identify, describe and present five of their favourite paintings. (visual example provided)

2. RECREATE - students are asked to recreate a section of their favourite one of the five paintings. (visual example provided)

3. RESPOND - students are asked to use a list of prompts to write a magazine style article or review of their favourite painting.

Depending on how much time you have, this booklet could be followed as a complete session. However I have also found that it works well to give the research task as a piece of homework prior to the practical work which should be completed in session. The article also works well as a homework task, especially if computer access is limited.
