Classroom Considerations

  • The plan does not include a slide show, but it would be easy to create your own using the provided images of artwork found Artworks and Artists and See and Compare sections
  • The materials section of the resource itself is a bit confusing; the first list of materials is included in every plan, and the rest of the instructions are designed for this specific plan

Pros

  • Images, vocabulary, extension ideas, and a rubric are all included
  • The art project itself is explained step by step with written instructions and related images

Cons

  • None
