About you: CTE: Arts, Media, and Entertainment credentialed teacher who is teaching in the Media Arts Pathway. About this: This is a course I taught last year (CBEDS approved 7219) and includes: a course syallabi, pacing guide, curriculum maps, project guidelines printable for students for all courses, grading rubrics, and most of the main materials/printables/activities for students. Note that this course was taught at a PBL learning school in the New Tech Network so some of the grading/rubrics are aligned to that but feel free to adapt them to your setting.
For too many art teachers, assessment remains a difficult concept. It’s tough to know what’s going to work, how it can be implemented, and how it can be incorporated to actually help improve teaching. In this episode, Tim takes on some of these concerns and shares his ideas on making assessment valuable. Heather Crocket, the […]

This project is a great way for students to experiment with color and learn how to use oil pastels. It is a versatile project because it is basic enough for our 3 and 4 year old artists to enjoy in art camp, but can also be modified to be challenging enough for an Art II or Art III class. For our high school students, we asked them to choose a color scheme to use on the project. Some of them needed a refresher on the different color schemes so they completed this worksheet first: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18yqZ2h-_zpVEQkxnc7K_viMdL6Dmppy5E0gRyOkoA3A/edit?usp=sharing We began this project with a Prezi on Picasso. You can view this Prezi here: http://prezi.com/xu6wh5kvdloz/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy This is the Picasso art we showed them for inspiration: The students were then given a handout with some highlights about Picasso and the directions for the project. This handout can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/157Gsu-hPlVhOxq4odKQ4KnXKK7kqBE1HIpUH51oeiEE/edit?usp=sharing The first step is to design a Picasso-style animal. We have a class discussion about different elements Picasso uses in his artwork and how the students can use them in their art. The students sketch their animal on scratch paper first. Then the students use construction paper to lay down the basic parts of their animal. The final step is using oil pastels to add details and dimension to their art. For our Art I classes, we first demonstrated the following oil pastel techniques: blending, strokes, crosshatching, stippling, highlighting, and scratching. And here are some of the amazing results!!!
This is a super simple observational drawing lesson that has, in my opinion, very elegant, fresh and contemporary results. Plus it's very inexpensive!!! I found the lesson HERE on the Painted Apple art blog. I taught this to my Grade 7 - 9 drawing elective class. I cut a bunch of strips of heavier weight white paper using my paper cutter. Between about 6 - 8 " in length. Have students choose a strip and then twist/bend/manipulate it into some type of curl. I was impressed by the variety of curls students came up with. Students had already learned how to do a simple line contour drawing, so they started with that, drawing lightly with a HB pencil until they got the proportion just right. Then, using darker drawing pencils, blending stumps/ tortillons and kneaded erasers (my students love these), they started adding shading. They were encouraged to use the entire value scale. I turned all the classroom lights off and just let in the natural sunlight which come from only one side of our room; it created a consistent shadow on all of the curls. Most students managed to finish one curl in an 80 minute period; a few needed more time, especially those with more complex and/or larger curls. I loved this 'Tower of Babel-esque' curl below!!! my quick demo on my easel Completed Grade7/8/9 drawings:
