Approximate Time Needed This art project is perfect for elementary and middle grade students. The time needed will depend on the age group of your students but usually takes approximately 45 - 60 minutes for the read-aloud introduction, art lesson and clean up. Add more time for optional 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, the art pieces are not always 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 (4.VA:Cr2.1.4a) Explore and invent art-making techniques and approaches. (4.VA:Cn10.1.4a) Create works of art that reflect community cultural traditions.
