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!

• Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
• “You Pick” art 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
• Britto Owl template, which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
• Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
• Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas

• 8 “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
