⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Extremely satisfied! It’s was a great resource to leave for substitute teachers. The instructions were clear and the students were engaged. Thank you for sharing."

Each Mini Masterpiece art lesson in this series will include just the right amount of art theory, introduce a famous artist and their work that relates to the focus, and then guide you through a mini masterpiece art lesson that has been tested and crafted to suit this age group of 5, 6 and 7yr olds.

Each lesson includes choice options for differentiation, while keeping the skills taught consistent across the class, to save your sanity.

❤️ Take the guesswork out of teaching art,

❤️ avoid endless hours of research,

❤️ avoid the epic fails that result from not having the time to trial the lesson or media yourself before teaching it.

I’ve done it all for you and trailed this lesson with my own students, in Kindergarten - 2nd grades.
❤️ why should you trust my lessons?

I am both a general ed classroom teacher and currently practising as a Visual Art and Digital Media specialist educator, teaching students from ages 4-12, at a primary school. I do this every day, just like you!

❤️ How will this resource help busy teachers, who are nervous about teaching art?

No worries - I’ve got you covered.

This lesson comes as a full colour PDF teacher guide, with a bumper 40+ slide deck. All project steps are clearly explained and photographed, from start to finish, giving you the confidence to deliver a quality visual art lesson to your students, as you share on your large screen.

❤️ All the materials & skills are also clearly listed for you. It’s like having an art specialist with you in your classroom.

The PDF slides are  intentionally designed in landscape orientation, to share with your students. This extra visual support will prove useful, particularly to diverse learners, and will also save your from having to repeat the same instructions, over and over again.

Select VIEW > enter full screen for presentation mode. Then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to drive a smooth slideshow experience, like a pro :)

Encourage students along the way, to follow choice options and create their unique artwork, while being guided by the information on the slides.

❤️ So what is special about this resource?

‘LINE PETS inspired by the work of Laurel Burch’, is NOT a superficial art or craft option. As a specialist in this field, I write lessons that encourage deeper, cross-curricular learning and make meaningful connections to other subject areas. This IS:

• a drawing tutorial that uses shapes, size symmetry & non-standard units of measure (Math),
• Build sequencing skills
• explores concept about animals and pet care, including the concept of responsibility (Science & Sharing the Planet),
• Explores self expression (Who We Are & How We Express Ourselves).

This lesson plan can be the perfect companion art project for students inquiring into: 

✏️ The Theory of Visual Art  

✏️ Line as an art element

✏️ The impact of artists throughout history

✏️ Our relationship to pets

✏️ Who We Are & How We Express Ourselves (IB PYP)

✏️ And a great extension activity for shared picture books.

Students can express their unique ideas through personal choices and modifications, while working through the guided project. Pause the presentation in places to discuss next steps with students, check understanding and explore potential student responses or modifications, bringing personal creative ideas to the tutorial. This addresses the Viewing & Responding to artwork objectives in a purposeful way. 

Teachers who have used one of my larger K-3 lesson plan - KANDINSKY Fall Art Project for Abstract autumn trees - say:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Amazing value, this resource is super engaging and my learners absolutely loved the activities. Made teaching art really simple for me too, thank you!"
