20 Students

This lesson aligns with the National Curriculum for Art and Design by encouraging students to produce creative work, explore and use a variety of materials, and evaluate their own and others' art.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Summer Art | 5 mins | Begin with a discussion about what summer means and what students enjoy doing during summer. Show examples of summer-themed art for inspiration. |
| 2 | Planning the Artwork | 5 mins | Students sketch their ideas for a summer-themed picture on a piece of scrap paper, focusing on elements they want to include (e.g., sun, beach, flowers). |
| 3 | Creating the Background | 10 mins | Using watercolour paints, students create a background that represents summer (e.g., blue for sky, yellow for sun). Encourage blending techniques. |
| 4 | Adding Details | 7 mins | Once the background is dry, students add details using crayons or coloured pencils, such as objects or scenes that represent their summer experiences. |
| 5 | Clean Up and Reflection | 3 mins | Students clean their workspaces and share quietly with a partner what they created. The teacher circulates to informally assess understanding and engagement. |
Students are to create a small summer-themed drawing or painting at home. The homework will be checked by collecting the artwork without requiring students to present it in front of the class.
