They begin by identifying key features of Impressionism, then focus on how artists showed light using colour. Children go on to explore movement and atmosphere in paintings, before applying these techniques to create a Monet-inspired garden painting, using images as a starting point. Finally, they develop their ideas further to create their own Impressionist-style painting, combining light, movement and atmosphere to produce a finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the six lessons within this scheme come with a detailed plan, a set of engaging and informative PDF slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas (plus an alternative activity) and printable resources to support your class during their independent work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eKnowledge Organiser\u003c\/strong\u003e is available to support the learning in this scheme.
