Digital Art History Project Bundle
Are you trying to tie in some art history lessons for elementary and middle school students in a fun way? This digital art history project bundle is highly engaging and allows for maximum creativity. Additionally, all are truly no prep. Assign and design! Students will feel successful in designing their own kente cloth, James Rizzi cityscape, Mary Blair castle, Henri Matisse collage, or Yayoi Kusama abstract collage.
Are you stuck figuring out what to do with students who finish early? Digital art lessons make for great early finisher activities because they take up no space, paper, or other physical materials. Simply assign a handful to your students for the month and stop fretting over projects for students who complete work fast.
