Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to describe some of the shapes, colours and patterns used in artwork by Renoir, a table display card to describe colours used to depict different types of objects in paintings by a significant artist and a template to select and record some of the colours and shapes that can be seen in a section of a painting by Renoir.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore the range of different shapes, colours and patterns that have been used in paintings by a significant European artist.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to explore the artwork style and painting techniques of a famous European artist to replicate when creating a picture of a school scene. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
