This lesson is detailed and effective. As a grade 3/4 teacher, I might create simpler silhouettes for the students to paint around. The lesson is clear, the slideshow is stellar, detailed and FUN! I love how the students are given choice, and how easy it is to integrate. I a. Running art club for our school, and I think this will be my first lesson. I cannot recommend this lesson more. I love that it gives a challenging follow up for fast finishers. It allows artistic children to be challenged to extend their understanding of bird anatomy beyond the contour of the bird. It might serve as practice for shading. It allows students to work in a variety of media. It could be further explored for younger children using simpler outlines, of by blowing up a smaller portion of the bird to really encourage careful sharing without being overwhelming. I loved this lesson! Thank you Sarah. It was brilliant.

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.
I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.
I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
