In this lesson, students will select one piece of Islamic art from the Metropolitan Museum of Art website and complete an art analysis worksheet. Students will be able to recognize characteristics of Islamic art, compare them to non-Islamic art, and explain why Islamic art often looks different from non-Islamic art.

Students are introduced to the Greek myth of Apollo and Daphne by critically analyzing the painting Apollo Pursuing Daphne by Tiepolo. They then design a coat of arms with symbols that best represent their personality and interests. As a class, students play a guessing game to figure out who created each design based on these symbols. Included in this resource is the interactive matching game "Ancient Arcade" that tests knowledge of gods and goddesses.

Students hypothesize about the workings, setting, and size of this French quarry. Then, applying his working method of memory painting, they draw or paint a setting from memory after close observation without taking notes or preparatory sketches. A map of climates around the world, and a link to Butchart Gardens where students can see the transformation of an abandoned limestone quarry into public gardens is included with this resource.

Students are introduced to the Greco-Roman myth of Dibutades and the creation of the first relief sculpture by critically analyzing Joseph Wright's painting The Corinthian Maid. They then mimic the artistic process presented in this myth by drawing an outline of a classmate to use as the basis for the own relief sculpture in clay. Included in this resource is an art slide show, a short time-lapse video demonstrating low-relief sculpture in clay and the interactive matching game "Ancient Arcade" that tests knowledge of gods and goddesses.

Students are introduced to the Greco-Roman myth of Diana and Endymion by critically analyzing a painting by Fragonard. They then write and illustrate their own myth to describe a natural phenomenon or social custom. Included in this resource is the interactive matching game "Ancient Arcade" that tests knowledge of gods and goddesses.

Students will engage in learning activities of 'Creating and Making' and 'Exploring and Responding'. The 'Creating and Making' activities include: plein-air drawing; creating a tour itinerary; digital landscape; sights and sounds journal; and making a film. 'Exploring and Respondin' exercises include: art and science; painting pictures with words; imagining a new land; building on the landscape tradition; perspective; compare and contrast; the legacy of von Guerard; and appropriating von Guerard.

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Science created this resource as part of an online workshop series, but you are welcome to use or modify it for your classroom. It includes a video and written directions for creating nature journals and tips for incorporating them into your classroom. For information on taking any the Nature Neighborhood online workshops for CEUs or EE credit, visit: https://naturalsciences.org/learn/educators/online-workshops.

Students are introduced to the Greco-Roman myth of Phaeton and how he created the Milky Way galaxy. Students critically analyze the painting The Fall of Phaeton by Rubens. They then create their own constellation to be displayed in a classroom galaxy. Included in this resource is an interactive 360-degree view of our galaxy from the earth’s perspective provided by CK-12 Foundation, the interactive matching game "Ancient Arcade" that tests knowledge of gods and goddesses, and the Astroviewer that is used to see the current night sky above some international cities.

The teacher will divide the class into small groups. They will collaborate with each other as a group.  Also, they will plan, design, and choose materials for their Power Point project. They will work a Folksong Project together at the school or online in Zoom meetings. The students will find one folksong from a different country other than USA.  

Students are introduced to farming in an arid climate through art-based inquiry of Miro's The Farm. Learning that Miro's family had to implement two water collection devices, students collect and investigate the amount of rainfall in their region to design a sketch proposal for how to best collect rainwater for their local farms. Included in this resource are links to an online matching game, EPA games and quizzes, science lesson plans, a Weather History Tool by the Old Farmer's Almanac, and satellite images of environmental change.

This lesson features a glue relief self portrait and personal portrait image covered with aluminum foil on the outside cover. On the inside are special messages about the "artist" and his or her special image.

Students learn the biblical story of Daniel in the lions' den as an example of a man who showed quiet bravery and conviction to his beliefs. They research a quiet hero/heroine from the twentieth century and write an essay about this person's activism accompanying it with an illustration. Then, students write a speech championing a personal cause in which they believe.

Students conduct research and imagine themselves in a place other than where they live, then create art based on this imagining. Discovery and discussion about the Rousseau painting Tropical Forest with Monkeys that Rousseau created from his trips to botanical gardens, zoos, and illustrations in books is used to guide this lesson. Students also investigate the macaque monkey to compare to Rousseau's depictions. Included in this resource are links to an online matching game, EPA games and quizzes, science lesson plans and satellite images of environmental change.

This resource accompanied the exhibition Shared Sky (2009), an exhibition of prints and drawings by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists which explored perspectives of the southern sky. Presented to coincide with the International Year of Astronomy, the exhibition traced the visual evolution of scientific observation and ancient narratives that underlie the complexity of Australia's cultural histories. The resource offers many curriculum links to mark these astronomical events and encourages students to discuss significant developments in astronomy as well as explore the southern sky from different cultural perspectives.

This free website provides more than 600 adaptable lesson plans written by teachers in collaboration with the Denver Art Museum for more than 130 objects from the museums world-class art collection. Lesson plans and resources focus on inspiring students to think and problem-solve creatively. Organized in an easy way so that teachers can pick the topic they would like to explore or enhance, then use works of art to teach that subject.

High resolution images are included. Museum visits are not necessary to implement lesson plans. Includes professional and student development tools such as teacher workshops and webinars, virtual classroom courses, career videos, educator blogs and creativity tools. Easy for teachers in language arts, social studies and visual arts to provide a curriculum rooted in the arts while also meeting 21st Century Skills.

Students examine Paul Gauguin's self-portraits and letters to learn about the individual who created them and consider how first-person art forms (self-portraits, diaries, letters, journals) aid the process of self-discovery. Then, they compare two of his self-portraits using a Venn diagram and produce their own symbolic self-portrait. Included in this resource is a link to a Gauguin podcast, online gallery tour feature, and high resolution image.

Students examine Vincent van Gogh's self-portraits and letters to better understand the artist's life story and personality. Then, they paint two Van Gogh-style self-portraits to show two parts of their own personality and write a letter describing the one that reveals their true character best. Included in this resource is a link to more letters from Van Gogh and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, a short audio tour about the featured work, and high resolution image. This lesson also contains opportunities for French language integration and a reflection/expressive writing extension.
