How would this Mackintosh Rose PowerPoint be good for my class?

This is a fantastic resource that not only teaches pupils about Scottish culture, but also lets them practise their artistic skills! Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a superbly successful architect and artist that has influenced many people. One of his most instantly recognisable works were his rose designs.

Here, our Mackintosh Rose PowerPoint wonderfully teacher your pupils how to replicate this iconic work step-by-step. It’s amazing to see how a circle and some lines can create a beautiful piece of art.

This PowerPoint also includes some excellent information about Mackintosh’s life in order to provide an informative lesson. The resource is perfect for Second Level pupils studying the Curriculum for Excellence. The lesson is closely related to the ‘I can respond to the work of artists and designers by discussing my thoughts and feelings. I can give and accept constructive comment on my own and others’ work’ Experience and Outcome.

We also have our Scottish Illustrators Resource Pack which has a great selection of materials to learn about some of the most famous illustrators in Scotland.

How can I get my child interested in art?

Our Mackintosh Rose PowerPoint is a marvellous way to help children become engaged with art. This resource is easily accessible and through simple instructions, children will be able to replicate an excellent piece of art. We recommend that after following the design, you can allow children to use their creativity to choose the colours they would like to use. When doing this, they are able to gain confidence in their artistic decisions.

If possible, maybe you can take them to see some of Mackintosh’s work, or even a visit to an art gallery, to help children build a connection with works of art?

Why not hang up our Charles Rennie Mackintosh Display Banner in your classroom?
