Design a large stylised butterfly filled with bold decorative patterns in this Amelia Peláez-inspired KS3 Art activity.

Students begin with a simplified butterfly shape before dividing the wings into sections and adding stripes, dots, zigzags, circles and repeated motifs.

The worksheet includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, teacher tip, four illustrated drawing stages and a large butterfly design activity.

Perfect for KS3 Art, pattern projects, nature themes, cover lessons, homework, early finishers and independent learning.

Students are encouraged to develop their own combinations of shape, pattern, outline, contrast and decorative detail.
