A bold and joyful art lesson for KS2 & KS3

Bring your classroom to life with bright colours, bold lines, and feel-good energy. This creative session takes inspiration from the work of Brazilian pop artist Romero Britto, whose joyful style mixes cubism, cartoon, and pattern to spread happiness through art.

In this lesson, pupils will:

• Design a cheerful character in a bold, blocky style
• Divide their background into playful pattern-filled sections
• Explore contrast, repetition and colour choice
• Use thick outlines and vibrant colours to make their artwork pop

Rooted in Britto’s message that “art is too important not to share,” this project encourages creativity, confidence, and joy.

** You’ll get:**
✔ A ready-to-use PPT presentation
✔ Artist info sheet
✔ Step-by-step instructions
✔ Pattern + character templates
✔ Visual examples for inspiration

Just add:
Paper, pencils, black markers, and a splash of colour.

No specialist equipment. No need for prior knowledge. Just colour, pattern, and smiles all round.

Let your pupils create with confidence—and leave with a masterpiece that feels like pure joy.
