Up to 3 art lessons including: PowerPoint, colour instructions (for the children), self assessment plenary sheet, extra writing activity (for any early finishers) and teachers' notes. Easy to teach as the instructions add an element of reading comprehension, simply hand them the instructions and see if they can figure out what to do - developing lots of thinking and teamwork skills (alternative approaches are also suggested in teachers' notes). 2 - 3 separate lessons in 1 - as the artwork is created in stages with potentially fantastic end results perfect for displays. Children will communicate feelings and moods with colour, practice numerous art techniques, experiment before committing to their finished work and reflect on their success, all with commonly found art materials in primary schools. Multiple options for the materials used you don't need to exactly follow the suggestions - this is explained in the teachers' notes.
