Kindah Khalidy Art Game

Ready to teach a Women’s History Month art project that’ll keep elementary art classes engaged? This Kindah Khalidy art lesson will boost confidence and creativity. Kids will enjoy her bright, abstract paintings of recognizable images like cacti, clouds, and strawberries. Moreover, they’ll appreciate learning about her art process.

And, it’ll help time-starved teachers like you create lesson plans based on Women’s History Month artists like Kindah Khalidy. 

During this art project, your class will learn Kindah Khalidy’s painting process, from how she layers “blobs” to what color they’ll be. Use it to discuss color mixing, organic vs. geometric shapes, and textiles. Students will create a doodle painting with tempera paint using the step-by-step guide and PowerPoint.

Plan lessons for students about Women’s art history and art appreciation in a way that excites them. Finally feel confident in your art curriculum and be organized and prepared to teach art!

What’s Included In My Abstract Art Lesson Plan

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 this elementary painting project. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:

• Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
• “You Pick” idea worksheet 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 worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas
• Kindah Khalidy Artist biography about the life and work of this San Francisco, California artist, so you don’t need to research
• “Big Ideas” reflection worksheet 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
• 8 “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
• 4 Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts
• Art history coloring pages to keep kids inspired by Kindah Khalid’s blob paintings outside of the art room
