This art and design scheme of work for Key Stage One gets the children to practise techniques of painting scenes depicting a specific type of rain to simulate natural phenomena in landscapes. The class can suggest how to use colour shades and brush strokes when painting to evoke ideas and feelings about the rain.

Practise different techniques of painting scenes depicting a specific type of rain to simulate natural phenomena in a range of different landscapes

Lesson One : Weather Scenes

Identify and and describe how different types of weather can be represented in paintings

Lesson Two : Raindrops

Investigate tools and equipment that can be used to create the shape of raindrops in a painting

Lesson Three : People and Umbrellas

Identify, compare and describe how the weather can be represented in paintings

Lesson Four : Rainbows

Investigate how to mix paint to record all of the different shades of colours that can be seen in a rainbow

Lesson Five : Rainy Day

Select and mix colour shades to paint a picture showing a view from a window on a rainy day

Lesson Six : Painting Exhibition

Identify and record different ways to improve a painting of showing a landscape on a rainy day
