è Seasons of the year
è Flowers and Fruit
è The Elements of water, ships, boats, sailing ships.

Papers and colors for the children to draw. The best themes according to what the teacher thinks best. Nature is the main theme but there can be various sub-themes such as flowers, fruit, trees e.t.c.
Paintings of Famous painters that have Nature as their basic theme.
Printed on large cardboard papers so they can stay and decorate the classroom after.
It would be ideal if the lesson can be done with a slide projector or a video projector if they are available at school.
In this case youyube is an excellent source for young children.

We present some here but there are many Thematics in Autobiographies of the Great Masters.

Feelings evoked by Nature and how they are revealed through the paintings and the Great Masters.

Playing and spending Leisure time in nature. Nature evokes the will to Live and love Life.

Activities in the Natural environment. Sailing, boating, playing in the sea.

Recreating themes from the paintings. Giving Life and movement to the paintings.

Flowers that make our life beautiful when we see them, smell them (not all have the same aroma etc)

Seeing a flower, the children approach the painting, to express their feelings about it (if it smells good, or nothing, or it tickles their nose and makes them laugh!)

I place it in a vase.

I give it water to eat and live.

Peinting: we are inspired from the paintings we have seen.
