UKS2 Thirteen Famous Artists Reading Comprehension Activity Bundle | Digital & Print

Thirteen reading comprehension activities, or informational texts, with comprehension and grammar questions followed by extension tasks about thirteen famous artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Joaquin Sorolla, Vincent van Gogh, Michelangelo, Claude Monet, Rembrandt, Banksy, Jackson Pollock and Henri Matisse. The Google Forms activities are ideal for distance learning and perfect for students in Year 5 or Year 6 learning about Art History or World History.

The individual resources looks into:

• Michelangelo
• Leonardo da Vinci
• Pablo Picasso
• Vincent van Gogh
• Frida Kahlo
• Joaquin Sorolla
• Salvador Dali
• Andy Warhol
• Claude Monet
• Henri Matisse
• Rembrandt
• Banksy
• Jackson Pollock

The activities are online resources, that use Google Forms, and are linked to your Google Drive. They can be completed by students online using tablets, phones or computers, and are easily assessed by teachers as all the answers are provided in a quick and easy format.

Time allowance to complete:
5-10 minutes - read through the text individually.
40-50 minutes - answer questions using the text as guidance (including extension activity)

Time allowance to assess:
A class set of activities might take around 15-20 minutes to mark; the teacher can then send the students their marks automatically, which allows them to read back through their work. Nearly all answers are not automatically generated, but only require a small amount of work to assign points. This is because the aim is to get students writing answers and not to just have multiple choice options.

Please ensure when you download this resource into Google Drive that you are logged in to the gmail account where you wish to store the activity. In the past teachers have downloaded resources into their school account in error. Thanks :)
