Today, I have free homeschool art curriculum. Also, look at my free Art Units page.
Too, it can be hard to fit in subjects like art and music.
So, having free art curriculum always works because there are no guilt feelings if you don’t use it all up.
Besides, having free art curriculum, I created 2 sets of notebooking pages for each grade.
Altogether, I have grades 1 to 8 art curriculum and the notebooking pages.

Then, look below at ways to use it.
How to Use the Free Art Curriculum
Then because it’s free you have many options how to use it.
Too, art is subjective, meaning some children are more advanced in creative abilities than others.
Also, some of the easier techniques taught in the younger grades are beneficial for all budding artists regardless of grade level.
5 Options how to Use the Free Art Curriculum
Moreover, there are several ways you can use this curriculum.
- Of course, the first way is by grade level as is and make it a 10 week study any time of the year.
- Next, is the schedule we followed. So, we studied 1 artist per MONTH. This was a slow enough pace for the year, and it gave us a day or so each week to focus on learning about the artists, his/her techniques and history of the artist’s life.
- Also, one more way to follow it is to take 1 artist PER WEEK and choose 36 of the 80 artists regardless of grade level. Thirty-six weeks is enough for a year. Too, the free curriculum has enough information about the artist to create a framework of information regardless of age. Just remember with this method you overlook grade levels which I do anyway.
- This is another way we covered art and that for each child to choose an artist and focus on it. This was open-ended so each child could focus on what they wanted.
- I created notebooking pages for the non-artsy child so they could write about what they knew and do as much or as little art as they wanted to.
How to use the Notebooking Pages for Homeschool Art Curriculum
As a mom homeschooling multiple ages I want 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.
The point is you with my download you have notebooking pages to use with your child’s art, as stand alone, or don’t use them at all. I love choices
Also, look at some of the supplies we used to add to your roundup.
