Visual Arts: 5th and 6th Class - Reviewing Irish Artists and Creating paintings influenced by Our Ocean (Irish and English version)

The aim of the lesson plan is for children to study Irish artists who have been influenced by our ocean and produce paintings based on recalled feelings and experiences using the marine theme for inspiration. In their paintings the students will explore colour with a variety of drawing instruments, media and techniques by discover ways of achieving spatial effects e.g. form, shape, position, size and distance. The children will respond to the paintings created in the class by talking about his/her work, as well as the work of other children
