WHY USE DIGITAL ART LESSONS FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL?

Are you stuck figuring out what to do with students who finish early? Digital art lessons make for great early finisher activities because they take up no space, paper, or other physical materials.

Simply assign a handful to your students for the month and stop worrying about projects for students who complete work fast.

OVERVIEW OF THE DIGITAL ART LESSONS IN THIS BUNDLE

Each art project is designed to practice basic computer skills. They require kids to either copy & paste shapes from one slide to another or drag & drop. You pick! Additionally, kids can change the colors of some of the moveable pieces. This allows them to maximize their creativity and individuality.

Additionally, every digital art lesson includes tutorials explaining basic computer skills. And, a step by step guide on how to create the project.

Feel free to break up the slide deck into two documents: one for the directions and the other for the moveable pieces they'll use to design their craft. This might be most advantageous for your special education students.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My students enjoy using these. I use them as part of my into in graphic design. I use it to teach them sizing, repetition, and layering. It is a great way to teach them these skills on a simple tool before we get into more advanced programs.
