All you need is some leaves or petals from the great outdoors and some simple watercolors. Use the leaves and petals as a stamp to create patterns and scenes. The final product can be as complex or as simple as the young artist desires. Be aware that these pieces do take a long time to dry.

44. Cell Phone Holder

This practical project results in a customized and handy mobile phone stand. It is a great gift item, and it’s a fun way to work with clay. Many clay projects have become predictable pinch-pots, so it’s great to see new techniques and end products in clay.

Learn more: Hatiffant

45. Reductionist Prints with Kieth Haring

This is a great way to explore recent art history and a new medium. Students make multiple prints of the same image, changing the colors as they go along. The result is bold and colorful statement pieces that really showcase their creativity.

Learn more: Chucks and Crayons

These tasks are beneficial to add to any art lesson rotation you might have. Many of them use simple materials or basic supplies. They can also be made more complex or challenging regarding the design elements if you feel your students would enjoy taking on more intricate tasks.

There is also a lot your students can learn from these tasks. Learning about different elements of design, like movement, color, and line, for example. You can also use these ideas as springboards into discussions about artists from the past that still have stylist influence today. Your grade six students will have fun and learn while they do it!

Art Lesson Plans Home

The art lessons section has experienced a massive overhaul. Lessons are now categorized for easier retrieval. If you would like to submit a lesson for inclusion here so that others may benefit, either click on the " Submit a Lesson " link on the side menu of this page or if that doesn't work, contact me . Don't forget to submit images with your lesson. The images should be large so people can see them easily. If your images are too large to submit, contact me .

In this section are hundreds of free art lessons from preschool through the college level. The vast majority of lessons include images and examples. There are some lessons from the early days of IAD that do not include images because they were submitted in the days when teachers did not have access to digital cameras or scanners. If you see a lesson plan without an image and you have done this lesson with your class, please submit the images to me so I can include them.

Because the lesson plans here are free to visitors, no financial incentive for submissions can be obtained. Ads are used to finance the hosting and work on the upkeep of the website.

For those of you who live outside the United States, here is a handy reference for grade levels and their corresponding ages. Grade levels are different around the world but ages are universal, so follow this reference to match the lessons submitted from the USA to the ages you teach:

Elementary school

Pre-school: Ages 3-5 Kindergarten: Ages 5-6 First grade: Ages 6-7 Second grade: Ages 7-8 Third grade: Ages 8-9 Fourth grade: Ages 9-10 Fifth grade: ages 10-11 Middle school (Junior High includes grades 7-8 or 9) Sixth grade: ages 11-12 Seventh grade: ages 12-13 Eighth grade: ages 13-14 High School 9th grade: ages 14-15 (Freshman) 10th grade: ages 15-16 (Sophomore) 11th grade: ages 16-17 (Junior) 12th grade: ages 17-18 (Senior)

In case you missed it, the menu for all our lessons is on the side column. You can find lessons according to your grade level as well as cartoon and drama/art lessons.

Building an Art Lesson Plan

Step 1: Create Learning Objectives / Goals

Think about the final objective for your lesson. What do you want your students to accomplish? These objectives should be measurable and relate to any state or country standards you may have. In the U.S.A., the federal standards are found on the Getty website . You should have around three objectives for each lesson. If you have too many, the lesson becomes too complicated and is more difficult to assess.

Step 2: Write Activities That Support Your Objectives / Goals

Create at least one activity that will address your objectives and standards. IAD includes hundreds of lessons that offer a variety of styles. If you find one you like, you can use it as a template for your own lessons. It is important that your activity is age appropriate. Sometimes determining this requires some experience.

Because anyone can submit a lesson on IAD, some may not have the quality of others. However, valuable information can still be gleaned from them and perhaps they will jog your memory enough to create better lessons of your own.

Step 3: Create a Rubric and/or Assessment

There are many rubrics on IAD. Many are universal in nature and you can use them for your own lessons. Your rubrics should describe well what a finished product should look like at several levels. The skills or objectives should be on the far left column and across the top should be the levels of quality for each grade. Of course your assessments should include any local or national standards.

Strategies and Philosophies

There are various philosophies and strategies for creating art lessons that truly motivate students. Some of these strategies are found in our Teacher Toolkit section for newer art teachers. A good lesson addresses the learning styles of all students, not just a visually-oriented art student. The lesson will include activities that use the following intelligences: Kinesthetic, visual, auditory, linguistic, logical, intra-personal, and others as listed by Howard Gardner and others.

A good lesson will have an introduction that really grabs the attention of students. Some call this the "anticipatory set" from Madeline Hunter's research (Additional information can be found in the Teacher Toolkit section). Without a good introduction, the rest of the lesson could fail because students aren't interested in putting their personal best in the assignment. The introduction should illustrate to the student how the lesson will relate to them personally.

Finally, your art lesson should address your state or provincial standards. Good art teachers know how to integrate the arts into the other subject matter. Geometry can be integrated through architecture of the Renaissance. History can be integrated through famous art that illustrates important events in history. Geography can be integrated through creating visual maps in cartography. Science can be integrated through subjects in nature. Not all states have visual arts standards so if your state doesn't have them, have them match up with the national standards found on the Kennedy Center website.

Best art class ever- 6th grade planets.

11 comments:

Fabulous!! I have an old, and I mean OLD copy of The Planets by Holst - it's actually a record album! So I don't know where I'd find a copy of this on CD to play in my room. It's fabulous music. I especially enjoy Jupiter - the music is so majestic, but the other ones you've chosen - Venus in particular - are terrific too. I think I'll pin this lesson; I actually have a great idea how to adapt it for something I'll be doing with the 2nd grade. It will be a little while before I get to it, but stay tuned, I think it could work out nicely. Thanks for the idea! Now I just have to find either the CD, or a record player to use in the art room ha ha ha.

I fell in love with the Planets when we played an arrangement in high school concert band. I got to play a french horn solo in this beautiful hall in Dallas on our band trip. If you can't find a CD, you could maybe try YouTube. I found a few performances that were pretty good. You could just play the audio if you didn't want to show the video.

These are so great! I love combining music with art, those make for some of the best lessons!

I used to love painting to music with my students and the planets are so lively and bright. A suggestion for the background - whenever I did this lesson with my students I had a station set up at the back of the room for them to bring their black background papers and splatter "stars" with white paint and old toothbrushes, THEN we would glue on the awesome watercolor planets. Here's a link: http://pinkandgreenmama.blogspot.com/2011/08/splatter-paint-and-watercolor-outer.html Fondly, MaryLea

Beautiful! I did a similar lesson plan with chalk pastels I found on the Art Projects for Kids blog. It was a shading lesson....I love your idea of playing the Holst in the background and getting four painted papers out of a single sheet of white paper.

Very Cool! I'm getting ready to do some outer space/alien/planet projects for part of my spring show. This will be a fun way to do planets! :)

I'm the Editorial Assistant for Fun Family Crafts and I wanted to let you know that we have featured your awesome project! You can see it here: http://funfamilycrafts.com/abstract-planet-collage/ If you have other kid friendly crafts, we'd love it if you would submit them. If you would like to display a featured button on your site, you can grab one from the right side bar of your post above. Thanks for a wonderful project idea!

Kate! I love this lesson! I am a Music teacher who was planning a unit on the Planets and came across your blog! I love integrating Art into the music room and I am so glad that you have integrated Music into your Art class! I just finished doing the art activity with my kids! They LOVED it! Please check out their work on my blog! http://staytunedmusicteacher.blogspot.ca -Steph

I'm glad you liked it and gave it a try! :)

I found the music on youtube, here is a link to Jupiter, but there are the other planets as well!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz0b4STz1lo&list=PL215EACB01F502784

This is great! Love that you tied in music.
