Hundertwasser House designs

This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to a lesson inspired by Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, known for his vividly coloured and decorative buildings. It encourages Key stage 2 pupils to design their own bold and imaginative house, experimenting with vibrant colour choices, patterns, and details. The video demonstrates each stage, from sketching initial ideas and exploring colour schemes to working over photocopied images of houses with pastels, crayons, or pencils, blending tones to create striking, Hundertwasser-style designs.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original KS2 Art and design resources. It supports teachers in guiding pupils to combine architecture and art, developing confidence with colour, pattern, and personal expression while producing imaginative designs inspired by Hundertwasser’s unique style.
