Instructional Ideas

  • Create your own PowerPoint or print out the images so that your class can see the details more clearly

Classroom Considerations

  • The See and Compare tab is most likely what the plan refers to as the slide show; all the images are also included in the Artwork and Artists tab

Pros

  • Lists materials and specific steps for the project
  • Includes a glossary of terms with examples

Cons

  • Discussing art is very vague, especially for very young children; you may need to come up with questions to guide this portion of the plan
  • Watch for typos/misspellings
