A fully planned drawing skills art lesson. No art experience required.

Perfect for cover teachers, trainee and NQT/ECT teachers, supply teachers, class teachers who want a ready-made one-off lesson, or anyone who finds art lessons a little daunting. No planning. No prep. Just print, open, and teach.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THIS PACK:
Full Teacher Instruction Guide — Step-by-step lesson plan with timings, scripted teacher prompts, what to say, what to look for, and how to guide pupils through every stage. Written in plain English with no art jargon.
Visual Vocabulary Cards for Pupils — Key art terms (contour, tone, hatching, cross-hatching, proportion and more) with clear, child-friendly definitions. Ready to display or hand out. Pupils use these throughout the lesson.
Shading Techniques Instruction Sheet — A visual, step-by-step example sheet showing pupils exactly how to practise hatching, cross-hatching, and blending. Takes the guesswork out of teaching technique.
Pupil Self-Assessment Sheet — A friendly, age-appropriate tick-box and reflection sheet pupils complete at the end of the lesson. Encourages art vocabulary use and self-evaluation.
Teacher Assessment Checklist — A simple, at-a-glance checklist to record pupil progress against key criteria: Working Towards, Expected, and Greater Depth. Ideal for your records or book scrutinies.
