As an artist with 18+ years teaching experience, I have designed and continue to create resources for my students. The progress and development of their knowledge, skills and understanding is always at the forefront of all my planning. The resources are my own, and are suitable for one off lessons, schemes and/or cover sessions. Keep a look out for new uploads as I am continually researching, creating, designing and developing Secondary, Primary and Further Education resources.

Here is a bundle of three St Patrick’s Day creative lessons (with a variety of designs for two of them), and a St Patrick’s Day word search. The details for each lesson and resources are as follows:
St Patrick’s Day Zentangle graphic mouth design
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To create your own Zentangle St Patrick’s Day inspired design exploring line, pattern & shape
This lesson highlights the key Formal Elements LINE, PATTERN and SHAPE, whilst students produce their own Zentangle graphic mouth design to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. A kiss for the Irish on this special celebration. This activity can be used for Key Stages 2, 3, and 4, and is designed to engage students in mindful use of the Formal Elements. Included in the worksheet - Learning Objective, a definition of what Zentangles are, an explanation of what St Patrick’s Day is, including the Irish interpretation of Happy St Patrick’s Day, and some general information on the significance of shamrocks to the Irish community. All task instructions are included, as well as a light graphic mouth design template for the task (five different designs to choose from), and some visual examples of what is expected, alongside some general Zentangle patterns for inspiration. Each graphic mouth design template has a shamrock incorporated within it.
This resource is one PDF file of five pages, each with a different design to choose from. This sheet is suitable for integration within an identity and/or portraiture scheme, one-off lesson, and/or cover a session and takes approximately one to two lessons to complete if being produced to a high standard. I usually print this resource on A3 cartridge paper and my students work directly onto the sheet.

This lesson is suitable for integration within a natural form scheme, one-off lesson, and/or cover a session and takes approximately two lessons to complete if being produced to a high standard.
