Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe the painting styles of some significant landscape artists and a template to select and record the colour shades that have been used for different objects in a work of art by Van Gogh.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore and describe some of the colours, shapes and patterns that have been used in paintings by different landscape artists.

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.
