One of the things we are planning to do next week is learning about “Elements of Art” using a lesson plan from Core Knowledge called, “The Story of Art“.
We’re using “What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know” by Ed Hirsch along with the AO curriculum that we are following and this is a great way to introduce Art History to the kids.
“What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know” can be used along with “Core Knowledge” that can be viewed here if you are in need of lesson plans and one of their lesson plans for this art lesson, comes from them.
I created a powerpoint slide show of the paintings and selected certain prints” to be use as coloring pages that the kids can color easily,while sharing the “elements of Art” with them and introduce them to the world of art history and artists.
There is also a pdf version, that I added if you don’t want to use the powerpoint and just print the paintings on your own,along with the corresponding lesson plan available as well and they can be downloaded here.
