Two linked art lessons that introduce students to abstract landscape art. Clear and straightforward guidance for teachers and students. Includes step by step guide, materials lists, differentiation, cross subject links and links to the artist Hundertwasser. Fully illustrated. Also includes student guidance sheets that can be printed and handed out to support understanding. Initially, students practice their observational drawing skills relating to landscape forms. They then use their imagination and research into the work of Hundertwasser to develop abstract compositions. They will then complete the work through vibrant use of colour. This is a really exciting project that allows students to produce striking, vibrant paintings and drawings that look amazing when displayed as group of work. Students will love the results, and so will you when you see how stunning the work looks displayed in your art room. Two lesson plans. Taking into account work time, this will keep students engaged for at least 4 hour long lessons.

GDPR regulations have resulted in schools having to tighten data regulations. One area that Art departments must be aware of is the taking of photographs and their use within student work.

This policy will ensure that your department is covered with regard to collection and use of photographs of students and staff.

Need an art or science cover lesson that can be followed by a non specialist? This might do it. A nice little lesson that encourages students to explore the sculptural work of artist Luke Jerram as well as the properties of viruses. His glass sculptures recreate the complex forms of viruses like the common cold and Covid. Once students have done some background research, they are then encouraged to start developing their own artwork based on viruses. A great way of linking art and science. The lesson plan is super easy to follow. It’s not grade specific because all ages can explore the theme here at their own level. The activities should keep students engaged for at least an hour. it could also be used as the starting point of a more extensive project.
