Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe some of the shapes and colours used in paintings of flowers and the different colour shades that have been used in the painting of a Vase of Flowers by Paul Gaugin and a worksheet to follow a set of instructions about how to use lines and shapes when painting representations of a vase of flowers.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to select and utilise a range of colour shades to create a still life painting of a vase of flowers.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to develop and refine skills in representing different types of flowers grown in a garden by using a range of painting techniques. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
