IMPRESSIONISM Cover

This is a straightforward, engaging cover lesson on Impressionism, ideal for KS3. Students choose a section of an Impressionist painting and recreate it using coloured pencils or oil pastels, focusing on colour, light, and expressive mark-making rather than neat outlines or detail. The task is easy to run with clear instructions, making it perfect for a non-specialist or last-minute cover. There’s a simple starter, clear task slide, and top tips to keep students focused and working independently — no prior knowledge needed, just basic materials and a bit of creative energy!
