Description
Get ready to go back to school with ease! I understand the stress of preparing the classroom for the first day, so let me help you out. This carefully curated bundle includes activities to kickstart the first weeks of art lessons, requiring minimal prep and planning on your part.
⭐️ Get to know your students better with Would You Rather Questions using Google Slides. This is also a great chance to see what kind of media and lessons they might enjoy and would be an easy activity to implement on the first day as a fun ice-breaker.
⭐️ You can use the Name Art lesson as your first art project. Start this on the first or second day and have students pick out adjectives that describe themselves. Students can finish this project with just markers and crayons.
⭐️ Introduce students to a fun way to give peer feedback on their first project with the Cupcake Critique.
⭐️ Cover the elements of art with the Elements of Art Sketchbook Activities. You can go through all the activities now or take them one at a time before each art project.
⭐️ As an alternative to covering the Elements of Art, you could get started using Squishy the Dragon and His Friends to get students drawing, ready, and writing animal adventures. The step-by-step drawing pages and story starters are a great drawing warm-activity
So don't worry about the start of the year. Let this bundle give you some breathing room while ensuring your students have fun-filled lessons right from day one.
