Free Art Notebooking Pack – Grade 1 (Other Grades too)

I have another set done of my free art notebooking pages.

I always have some long term project going on and this one turned out a bit longer with my move, but I have another set completed.

You know how I feel about art.  It is one of those subjects that should be enjoyed from K to gray.

So even though the free art curriculum guide at Concordia University Chicago – Art Lessons that I am following to create printables divides the art into grade levels, I did not create the art notebooking pages babyish.

Free Art Curriculum & Notebooking Pages

This way whatever the ages of your children are, they can use any grade level guide of their choosing along with the printables I created to have a complete art program for each year.

After all if you haven’t covered an artists or art work before, then does it matter which grade you do?

Besides, you can use the guide questions in the upper grade art if you want to cover some of lower grade art and visa versa.

I know the questions in the upper grade level hone in more on artistic design, composition and principles of design.  And though the lower grade guides provides the same framework, they do not do it as in depth.

Again, I hope this makes sense because you should be able to do any packet you choose by using the free curriculum guides from either an upper or lower grade depending on the ages of your children.

Keep in mind, that you need BOTH the free Curriculum Guide from Concordia University ALONG with my notebooking packets to have a complete art program for the year.

Today, the 1st grade set is ready.  Remember there are 8 grades now (use to be 7 Grades).

Grade 8 has been added since I started this project (yippee).

I have completed grades 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and only have grades 2 and now 8 to do before I am completed.

If you cover one artist per month, then each grade level will take you one year.  So free art for a year!

One last thing I need to remind you of because I have some new faces here is that I also create TWO SETS of the SAME art notebooking page, but each set is slightly different.

I know, I know, I like things perfect to have options and I love for you to have them too.

Look below at the graphic I created to show how each set is slightly different.

One set has ALL text boxes in case you have a kid or two like I do that doesn’t want to sketch the art.

Especially at the high school level, my oldest son just wanted to make it more about art history.

So he wasn’t interest in sketching every piece.  He just wanted to read the background information about each artist, read about the artwork and move one.  Oh yes,  I used some of these packets for high school art credit.

The second set has ONE sketch box instead of the text box because then I have another kid who wants to sketch the art that we were learning about. Too, I keep the sketch box not too big so it doesn’t become a project to sigh about.

So the art is the SAME for both pages.  Too, this allows you to choose from either set depending on the time you have for that month. 

For example, one piece my sons may want to write, so I would print off that page.  The next art piece they would want to sketch so I would print off that page from the other set.

Give your child options and don’t think you have to use ALL the same pages from one set.  I mixed and match depending on the mood for the day or month.

I have a more pictures from each set to show you.  This is how the pages look from the set that has sketch boxes and

this is how the pages look from the set that has ALL text boxes.

Again, BOTH sets have the same art and are the same except for that one box.

Choices in any subject makes learning about it more enjoyable.  We don’t feel so hemmed in.

I hope you enjoy this next grade level, which is Grade 1 according to Concordia University AND be sure to download both packets so you can decide which set best suits your needs for each art piece.
