Activities in this teaching pack include a display poster to identify and describe the painting style and techniques used by a significant artist and paint examples of a real world object following the style of an artist and a template to practise a painting technique used by Van Gogh to illustrate shapes and colours that might be seen in the sky.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to replicate the work of a famous artist using thick swirled brush strokes to illustrate the sky in a painting.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to investigate and replicate the work and painting style of a famous artist from the past by producing a matching landscape of the school building. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
