1. Sunflower Strokes

Learning Objective

Emerging

Pupils are aware of starting or stopping a process.

Additional Skills

Gross motor: using core to support self on the floor.

Fine motor: using a grip on the pastels to make marks.

Auditory: stopping and starting an activity following an auditory cue.

Resources

Large sheets of paper

Masking tape

Pastels in yellows, oranges and greens

Large copies of Van Gogh’s painting Sunflowers

Music to paint to, such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons

MAIN

• To set up this activity, tape the large paper to the floor and place the pastels around the paper.

• Support the children to come and sit on the floor by the paper in a space next to the pastels.

• Show the children Van Gogh’s pictures and identify the colours and features.

• Place a vase of real sunflowers in the middle of the large paper and explain that today we are going to make our own sunflower pictures.

• We will start when the music starts and stop when the music stops.

• Play the music and support children to make marks using the pastels, briefly looking at the sunflowers for inspiration.

• Periodically stop the music and everyone stops drawing. Encourage children to look at drawing and look at sunflower to review drawing.

• Start the music again and everyone starts drawing again.

• Continue for as long as children can maintain attention.

PLENARY

Stop the music for a final time and count down ‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1, painting has finished.’ Support the children to stand up and look at their drawings; do they look like Van Gogh’s?

CONSOLIDATION ACTIVITIES

Use music as an auditory cue to start and stop other activities across the day, e.g. play music to prompt the children to come and sit in the circle, play music at the end of playtime to signal the end of the play.
