This art lesson plan focuses on introducing pupils to the work of artist Henri Rousseau. The objectives are for pupils to create drawings inspired by Rousseau's style and use materials effectively to incorporate camouflage, patterns, and textures as seen in his paintings. All pupils will complete drawings adding these elements, while most will also use color pencils and some will further develop their work through review and annotation. The teacher will present Rousseau's work, demonstrate techniques, monitor students, and have them provide feedback on each other's drawings during a plenary session.
