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!
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt these folk art projects. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice games to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheets for kids to choose their own elements
- 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 worksheets, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas
- Folk art artist biographies, leveled for both elementary and middle school students accordingly, so you don’t need to research
- “Big Ideas” reflection worksheets where students write about their art process
- Self-assessment worksheet so kids can think about how they performed during the project
- Art grading rubric which assesses expectations, craftsmanship, work habits, creativity, and clean-up
- “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
- Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts
- Art history coloring pages to keep kids inspired by folk art outside of the art room
A Note About These Folk Art Games
There are four art lessons within this bundle. All four are based on a folk artist. The artist study handout for each artist is therefore similar, but not the same.
The Heather Galler and Karla Gerard projects focuses on teaching kids about space (background, foreground). While the Pristine Certera Turkus and Kerri Ambrosino art lessons are centered around the principle of design called rhythm. But all projects give an overarching sense of what folk art is using the same general text.
The advantage here is that you can teach the concept of folk art to a range of grades all at once and they all have the same basic information. Or, pick one grade level and teach each class a different artist to generate a range of art projects for your art show.
