WHAT'S INCLUDED
Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though!

- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick elements and you can integrate technology in the art room
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas

My students were so engaged! These turned out absolutely beautiful. I appreciate the worksheet that outlined each shape in columns and gave them an opportunity to practice drawing the shapes first.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My students loved getting to see the different types or art and explore creating abstract art. These were great to display with our Black History writing reports in the hallway.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a well written lesson. It was fun for my face-to-face students and for my distance learners. I used this for all grades that I teach K-5. It was easy to follow along.
