Looking for a comprehensive visual art curriculum that includes an introduction to visual art and a full drawing course for middle or high school students? Our year-long art curriculum is the perfect solution! This visual art education curriculum is specifically designed to provide your students with a well-rounded art education that includes both traditional drawing techniques and other forms of art-making.
The first semester of the course focuses on an introduction to visual art, taking students through the basic Elements and Principles of Design. In the second semester, the course flows into an introduction to drawing that covers various drawing media in more detail, culminating in a mixed-media drawing project.
Our curriculum includes Elements & Principles of Art worksheet packets and virtual escape rooms to support distance learning. The Student Choice Framework allows students to choose their own projects that apply their learned skills, fostering creativity and autonomy.
Students will create their own art exhibition, portfolio, and written reflection at the semester's or year's end to showcase their growth and accomplishments. To round out the package, we also provide worksheet packets that support learning and can be used as substitute lessons.
So why wait? Give your students a well-rounded art education with our comprehensive visual art curriculum bundle pack today!
