Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe how artists have depicted a range of water reflections in their artwork and a template to select and sketch a view of a river location as preparation for creating a painting of the scene.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to select views and record images when sketching as preparation for creating a painting of a river scene.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to explore and emulate techniques used by significant artists working in paint to create impressions of reflections seen in different bodies of water. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
