Spring: Pollinator Project: Lesson 6
Painting pollinators in mixed media
Warm-up: 10-15 mins
- Ask students to observe the pollinator plants and flowers that are growing on the school site.   
 
Introduction: 10 mins
- Back in the class, explain the challenge: create a painting of the pollinator plants and flowers in the school, using a shoebox! Then create flowers and plants in 3D with a range of materials to be included in the shoebox.
- Show the class a variety of approaches to painting, focusing on expressive processes rather than purely figurative, such as the work of Laura Owens and Cecilia Danell. Title:
Title: Untitled, 2008
Title: Birch Trees at the Edge of Winter, 2019

Development: 40 mins
- Encourage students to paint imaginatively, gaining inspiration from the school’s pollinator plants and flowers. 
- Ask children to paint on the interior base of the shoebox.   

Conclusion: 10 mins
- Invite students to share their work with the class and explain the details that they will work on in the next lesson.
