With these free art units you have free art curriculum for year.
I have created notebooking pages (2 sets that are slightly different) to go along with this wonderful free art curriculum guide.
“Curriculum for a year if you study one artist per month for a school year.”
Curriculum guides are provided for Grades 1 – 8. However, I feel art can be enjoyed by all ages from K to Gray.
Free Art Units
With these free curriculum guides you can go in as depth or as light as you choose to because of the background information that is provided in each package.
Why Does Each Grade Level Have 2 Sets of Notebooking Pages?
As a mom homeschooling multiple ages I wanted the flexibility to provide more in depth art, even for my highschoolers, as I used this curriculum.
Too, I needed to keep it on the lighter side for my youngest.
So both sets have the SAME art pieces but one set has one more text box and the other set has a sketch box.
First set has 4 Text Boxes – Artist Name, Facts About the Artist, Title of the Art and Interesting Facts.
Second set has 3 Text Boxes + 1 Sketch Box – Artist Name, Facts About the Artist, Title of the Art and Box for a Sketch of the art.
Your student can decide if they want to do more research and write under “Interesting Facts” or prefers to “Sketch” the art or a similar art piece
Mix and match each art and artists too from each pack.
Some of the artists my sons preferred to write about and some of the pieces they wanted to sketch.
