Activity: A4 half portraits of Henry VIII and his six wives; children to complete the missing half of the portrait. They are differentiated - the easiest ones are almost symmetrical, but to complete the harder ones the children must have some understanding of facial proportions and perspective. Assessment: A4 pictures of Henry VIII and his Six Wives for reference - show these when they have finished their portraits to see what they should have looked like! Used with Year Four and up.

A 14-week scheme of work for Art, suitable for Years 4, 5 or 6. Could be adapted for secondary pupils. Focuses mainly on basic art skills such as cutting, pencil skills, ink skills, adding colour, and then moving on to more complex projects. All of the additional worksheets and resources are available from me on TES. Any problems, message me and I'll make sure they are re-uploaded. Only available in Pages or PDF format, not Microsoft Word.

A worksheet to help children practice pencil skills for art such as shading and blending. I usually do this over a double lesson with Year 4 or above, and I emphasise the need to work very, very slowly and carefully, focusing on correct pencil grip and varied pressure. They love it when I tell them this is how ‘real artists’ use pencils! If you love it, please leave me a review!

A step-by-step guide on how to make a pop-up pumpkin Hallowe'en card, with full colour photographs. Can be printed off for the children to use.

A worksheet to practise artistic techniques in ink (hatching, cross-hatching and stippling). I recommend that the children use black fineliner pens if possible, as ballpoint pens tend to be a bit too smudgy.

Use this worksheet to teach your KS2 or lower KS3 pupils how to use pencil crayons in a more artistic, grown-up fashion. Focus on having them take their time, pay attention to detail and not just cover up the blanks with colour. For a more detailed guide and more Art lesson plans, check out the other resources in my shop. If you love it, please leave me a review!

Can be used in Maths or Art. A simple one-page quiz with five questions about human body proportions. The children are usually really surprised at the answers - and, of course, love trying to disprove them! Could be suitable for a starter or plenary.

A ready-to-print kit for making an A4 piece of decoupage art. The picture is of a horse on a sunset landscape. Involves very fiddly cutting which probably isn’t suitable for younger than Year Four. I strongly recommend doing a mini-project on cutting skills first (I’ve uploaded a Scissor Skills Workbook which is from SparkleBox) and emphasise the importance of precision! A tricky project which produces beautiful pictures with very few resources needed (colour printer, card, scissors, sticky foam squares or blu-tack).
