KS2 Rainforest Art Lesson Pack

An easy to follow and detailed art lesson linked to the Rainforest topic. No art experience needed.

What’s included:
Full teacher overview with National Curriculum links
Rainforest fact sheet for pupils (layers, animals, colours, Henri Rousseau)
5 detailed lesson plans (60 min each) with starter, main and plenary
Colour mixing, observational drawing, pattern, texture and composition activities
Differentiation guide — SEN support strategies across all lessons
