1 WEEK 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE (NATIONAL CURRICULUM OR CHRIS QUIGLY) Respond to ideas and starting points. Explore ideas and collect visual information. Draw lines of different sizes and thickness. Colour (own work) neatly followed by the lines. Show pattern and texture by adding dots and lines. INTENDED OUTCOME Start by having images of plants and flowers and actual live specimens for the children to sketch, parts, the whole or patterns found in the plants. Allow children to dissect the flower and look at individual parts of the flower and plants. Explain to the children the need to sketch the shapes first Discuss how to make light pencil strokes and use a rubber to get the perfect shape. Children to add colour and texture using pastels, chalks and water colours. CROSS- CURRICULAR LINKS Cross Curricular links with literacy- Plants/growth Links with Science Topic Little Gardeners. Looking at a range of plants, flowers and trees. Explain that some artists were inspired by plants and landscapes with trees, grasses and plants. 1) Van Gogh: Irises, oil on canvas, ) Henri Rousseau: Tiger in a Tropical Storm (Surprised!), 1891, oil on canvas. 3) Paul Cezanne: Mont Sainte-Victoire, oil on canvas, ) Claude Monet: Water Lilies, 1919 Geographylooking at plants and fruits from around the world.

2 2 & 3 Mix primary colours to make secondary. Describe the work of notable artists, artisans and designers. Use some of the ideas of artists studied to create pieces. Use watercolours to produces washes for a background Use certain colours which are lined with mood i.e grey ( unhappy, tired) Display picture of The Water Lily pond 1904, or similar, this one is 1905 Does anyone know who painted this? Optional - YouTube clip: Claude Monet: Inventing Impressionism [10:00] So, this is Claude Monet's Water Lily Pond. He was a keen gardener and he created this pond in his garden in Giverny, France. He painted over twenty pictures of this scene and some of them are vast wall-size paintings. Water lilies are one of the most famous themes by this impressionist artist. He was fascinated by light dancing on the water and the reflections cast in the water...willows, reeds, clouds...things that move and change constantly. Invite responses... What colours are used the most? How does the picture make you feel? What is it a picture of? What season? How do you know? Imagine... you shrank to the size of a frog and you were at this pond in France... What sounds would you hear? What would you smell? What would you see? Which lily pad would you choose to settle on for a while? Where was Monet when he painted this? What would he be able to see, hear, smell, feel? Which colours did he use? [yellows, pinks, lavenders, greens, blues, and silver-white] NB. He didn t use black he felt it had a dulling effect. Instead he used complementary colours, e.g. dark reddy browns laid into greens in the darkest part of the water. Activity 1: Watercolours. Colour mix shades of blue and green use 2cm 2 paper, paint each square a different shade. Then shades of blue and lavender purple

3 Activity 2: Use masking tape to fasten pieces of paper to table top. Dampen the paper with water. Lightly apply washes of shades of blue, green, purple as desired, with a wide brush, to give effect of water. Allow to dry a little time to change water, tools and think about composition of own water lilies. Next, take a finer brush and paint in the reeds, water lilies and weeping willow reflections creating impressions rather than exact shapes and varying the shades. Lastly, think about shadows, under the lily pads. Leave to dry. Activity 3: Use a painting that has the Japanese bridge in it to inspire watercolour work but use candle wax [or white oil pastel] to create a resist of the bridge structure, before painting the wash. Use a wide brush to apply horizontal strokes for water and vertical strokes for shades of green for planting. Use small pieces of sponge to dab lily leaves larger shapes clustered in the foreground, receding to small dots in the background [reinforcing idea of perspective]. Use a fine brush to add shadow beneath the leaves and a highlight on top. Dab short strokes of darker blues and purples to create ripples and shadows. Use white to make dry brush strokes for the lilies, or with 3 short strokes, paint the flowers between the lily leaves. Finally, define the bridge with white paint and add shadow with light blue. Then add vertical strokes of darker greens, yellows and purples to the trees and a few dots of pink to the water lilies themselves. Activity 4: Many of Monet s paintings featured a Japanese style bridge in the middle, over the lake of lilies. Stick tape in a bridge shape and use fingers to print all around the paper. When done, peel off the paper. Activity 5: Cut out a section of the water lilies landscape and ask the children to complete the missing pieces, or give the children a small section of the image for the children to paint/oil pastel round image.

4 Week 4 Create shapes to create certain images Include texture that conveys movements. Use clay to create 3D structure Add material and indentation to add detail to your sculptures Look at real water lilies [pics of] to see density of petals and how the flowers are formed and shaped. Use clay or paper to create water lilies. Start by rolling out at slab of clay and cut out your lily pad shape, remind the children that the size and shape are up to them and that they should not be perfect. Using tools create the veins in the lily pad or add texture to the leaf. To start the flower, cut out a many-pointed star shape. Scratch to attach the centre of the star to the lily pad, and then squeeze the points of the star thinner with their fingers, it should start to resemble a flower at this point. Scratch the centre of the star and start to add on more petals. Roll small coils of clay and then flatten them into petals, or roll out a thin slab and then cut them out. Keep layering the petals until the lily is filled, making sure to scratch-to-attach each one on. You can also add on frogs, beetles, turtles, dragonflies...whatever swampy creature you like. Dry, bisque fire, glaze and then glaze fire them, then they will be ready to display in the garden.

5 5 & 6 Draw lines of different sizes and thickness. Colour (own work) neatly followed by the lines. Show pattern and texture by adding dots and lines. Show different tones by using coloured pencils. Allow children time to view their favourite piece of fruit and talk to the children about the artist Paul Cézanne. Discuss fruit still life and how he used a range of techniques for his still lives. Activity 1: Give the children an image by a style life artist and ask the children to discuss and make notes around the image. Discussing shapes, tones and lines. PowerPoint 1&2 Activity 2: Show the children how to change the image of a piece of fruit 3 different ways using an abstract style. See below for ideas. Activity 3: Children to draw three images of the same fruit but creating a repeating pattern and using only 3 colours e.g. yellow, red and orange, yellow, red and green etc.
