Description
Looking to weave art history into your elementary and middle school art curriculum? These roll a dice games based on Pop Art, Modern Art, Black Artists, and various cultures will ignite your art lessons. Each engaging art project makes for great art sub plans because they include art worksheets, artist study handouts, exit tickets, rubrics, and step by step PowerPoint and printables.
Kids love them!
And, they’ll help time-starved teachers like you create lesson plans quickly.
Design drawing projects based on famous artists like Pablo Picasso, Faith Ringgold, and Rene Magritte. Compose painting lessons inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Yayoi Kusama, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Prep fun collage and sculptures activities by Henri Matisse and Kimmy Cantrell.
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!
Each art history project features:
- Roll a dice game
- Choice-based handout
- Digital spinners
Differentiate your art teacher curriculum easily. The PowerPoint presentations will have kids creating independently!
You’ll use materials found easily in most art rooms like pastels, markers, colored pencils, tempera and watercolor paints, cardboard, markers, and tissue paper.
This year long art history project bundle is perfect for art teachers and classroom teachers wanting to infuse art into the curriculum. Substitute teachers will find them helpful, too. They are perfect art sub plans!
Get ready to plan lessons about art history and art appreciation in a way that excites students. Finally feel confident in your art curriculum and be organized and prepared to teach art.
