This project does need something extra: (1) burlap and (2) white air-dry clay. Approximate Time Needed The time needed will depend on the age group of students but usually takes approximately 45-60 minutes for the read-aloud introduction and art lesson, extra for extension activities. Read Aloud Introduction You do not need any art and / or art history knowledge to teach à la cART lessons – it is all laid out for you. The read-aloud introduction introduces the artist and explains art movement and techniques pertinent to the lesson; with questions guiding student conversation. Reference Materials I like using visuals to support my lessons. Due to copyright infringement, some original art pieces are not included but I have listed the artist and title of the artwork. You can do a Google image search and then share with the class by projecting on a smartboard or whiteboard. Common Core Art Standards (5.VA:Cr2.1.5a) Experiment and develop skills in multiple art-making techniques and approaches through practice. (7.VA:Cn11.1.7a) Analyze how response to art is influenced by understanding the time and place in which it was created, the available resources, and cultural uses.
