Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe colours used to depict different types of weather in paintings, a vocabulary word bank to name some of the colours used to depict different types of weather in paintings and a template to identify and record colours that can be seen in a section of a painting of a weather scene.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how how different types of weather can be represented in paintings by significant artists.

This lesson is part of a art and design scheme of work to get the children to practise different techniques of painting scenes depicting a specific type of rain to simulate natural phenomena in a range of different landscapes. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
