Display the finished squares as one large square, arranged in the order of the colours of the rainbow.Cover the large paper square with the cut-out coloured squares.Cut 2cm (approx) squares of the colour from the magazine photos.They cut or tear pictures containing that colour - in any tone - from magazines.Each child is given a colour of the rainbow as their focus.As a practice exercise, get them to paint a sky or a sunset, adding colours as they go along and finding out what effects they can create.Д®ach child works on a square of paper - about 15 - 20 cm I'd say is ideal. By mixing and creating colours as they paint, subtleties of tone and hue can be achieved more easily.

It's not necessary always to mix a palette full of a colour and then put it on to the paper. To encourage children to experiment with colour mixing, help them to realise they can mix on the paper whilst they are painting. You can use real or artificial flowers as a support if you want, but it's not absolutely necessary. Three key things - (1) work BIG (2) take the flowers right over the edge of the paper (3) encourage colour mixing on the paper as suggested below. These are some of the pieces Y4 children produced (they're pretty big in real life!) after looking at some of her work - easy to find with a Google image search. I love using Georgia O'Keeffe's fabulous flower paintings as a stimulus for art. When the doors are opened - you see the view! When the view is finished, they make a door which they hinge over it, maybe with a paper fastener to act as the handle. Use it as a stimulus for art where children first create, in whatever medium you choose, the view through their door - real or imaginary. Use this link to take you to an audio of Miroslav Horub's poem Go and open the door. I'd charge considerably less than 2.5 euros though! It would be a good idea to have a full colour version for people to copy from, or you could end up with a mish-mash that wouldn't look good at all! So, you draw an appropriate outline, have ready cut squares of coloured paper (or real tesserae which you can buy from art suppliers or tile specialists), and people stick them on either with glue sticks or blu-tack.
