Giant Impressionist Flowers Visual Art Project for Spring and Summer Art Lessons
Spring and Summer are always a favourite theme for Visual Art projects in elementary. Giant Impressionist Flowers is a step-by-step lesson plan that takes students through an acrylic painting tutorial and helps them to create their own version of the project. Students in upper elementary and middle school will explore painting techniques like 'tache', 'impasto' and blending, to create a striking artwork. Extra information is included about artist - Vincent van Gogh, art history and art techniques.
This is a new product so please enjoy this review for another painting project in my store:

Art project mixed media lesson DRAGONFLY POND with VIDEO guides 2nd - 4th grade - available HERE
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "This is a great resource to go with a mixed media unit and especially for spring. I love the different versions with materials to use for the dragonfly for more creativity. The video tutorials are awesome as well to help with the steps of the lesson!"
❤️ So what is special about this resource?
Giant iImpressionist Flowers, is NOT a superficial art or craft option. As a specialist in this field, I write lessons that encourage deeper, cross-curricular learning and make meaningful connections to other subject areas. This IS:
- a drawing tutorial that includes the concept of line, shape, space and area (Math),
- makes link to historic and modern culture (How The World Works & How We Express Ourselves- IB).
- makes cross-curricular links to Day/Night cycles, Seasons, Spring, Summer, Plant cycles
Students can express their unique ideas through personal choices and modifications, while working through the guided project. Pause the presentation in places to discuss next steps with students, check understanding and explore potential student responses or modifications, bringing personal creative ideas to the tutorial. This addresses the Viewing & Responding to artwork objectives in a purposeful way.
