Elementary, Middle, or High School Art History Lesson Pack

Art history is an incredibly important part of any art class. Create a well-balanced visual art class by setting aside time every week to teach your upper elementary, middle, or high school art students about art history. Cover early art history with this prehistoric, Medieval, Roman, Greek, and Egyptian art history lesson pack.

Put a fun spin on it by presenting it as a way for them to travel around the world and learn about other cultures. They can earn stamps for their journals, similar to an actual passport, by learning about the artwork in different time periods and places.
