Patterned Paper Plate Art
This is a very easy painting lesson to do with older pupils. The lesson has to be done in stages as it requires a few coats of paint to be applied and each coat must be dry before the next is applied. However, the end result is always interesting and unexpected.

Glitter Art
It’s funny how sometimes the easiest Visual Arts lesson turns out to be the most effective! Each time I did this lesson with whatever age group I was teaching, it was invariably one of the most popular lessons. It’s also interesting to get the pupils to give their finished picture a name and to explain to the class why they gave it that name. It’s always amazing what the pupils can interpret from their own picture.
