This sheet is stuck into every child’s sketchbook, they use this to refer to in their art projects to help with identify formal elements, to supprot with colour theory and to offer some support with annotating. It has worked so well in my school!

This lesson starts with looking at Banksy’s pieces and a bit of information about him. The children discuss and reflect on his style and the messages behind some of his art. The children then look at the Clacton Pigeon Mural and discuss how they could alter the image to put put a friendlier and more inclusive message. Also includes a fun extension task!

Use this knowledge organiser to support teachers in progression of skills, including prior learning, new learning, key vocabulary and the formal elements.

Here you will find 12 artist booklets to create an interactive art display. These can be laminated and hung up on the display for the children to take off and read about. The resource is editable so you can tailor it to your school’s artist coverage!

This resource includes the powerpoint and any pictures you need. The children start with artist exploration and discussing the common trends. The chn then create their own unique piece of art using the artists techniques.

This lesson follows examples of African masks and allows for the children to create their own tonal drawing. The children then copy their work over to a mask, exploring line and shape. Enjoy!

This lesson was inspired by Gomersal Primary School. It is a really fun lesson for the children to explore colour mixing and observational drawing. Enjoy!

This project is complete with 3 lessons of work fit for a half term. Download also comes with a knowledge organiser. My kids loved it!
