Have you just visited an art museum? Or can you create a gallery in your classroom to visit? Pupils create an original drawing that reinforces what was learned in a visit to the art museum. They will view original art work and verbally state what they notice about it. They then create their own drawing and write an essay on the importance of art museums.
