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 any of these 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” idea 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
- Artist biographies about the life and work of each modern artist, 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 page to keep kids inspired by these modern artists outside of the art room
