MORE ABOUT THE FAMOUS ARTIST SERIES FROM KIDS ART PROJECTS 101
This series is a project-based approach with ties to famous art and artists. The projects are designed for use with young children, and they heavily emphasize play and experimentation, but they also target specific skills, techniques, and understandings.
Inside each structured unit the plans are organized into three to four 40-minute sessions and can be paced out in whatever way works best for your situation. This approach is awesome because it layers art history connections with guided instruction about the elements of art and principles of design. Each unit ultimately results in a completed art project.
These projects were originally developed for use in a public school art room with kindergarten students, but have been adapted into a scripted PowerPoint format so that they can be easily utilized in a variety of settings and with a slightly broader age-range.
WHY?
Most school-age kids are ready to learn about famous art and artists! Such engagement exposes them to diverse pathways to success and creative expression.
The problem is that figuring out HOW TO DO THIS WELL WITH YOUNG KIDS can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Teacher trainings, even well-organized ones, can leave you feeling ill-equipped for:
- Selecting kid-friendly masterpieces
- Translating art/artist facts in a way that feels accessible and engaging to little ears
- Making time for art history integration, in what is usually a very short time-allotment for hands-on artmaking
- Assembling supplemental resources (videos, stories, assessments, and early-finisher activities)
- Aligning famous art with hands-on projects
- Breaking hands-on projects into manageable and concise kid-friendly chunks
The project packs in our Famous Artist Series do all that work for you! This resource will have you feeling more relaxed, prepared, and purposeful about engaging young kids in art learning!
