This high school art curriculum is everything you need to teach a year of drawing and painting at an intermediate level. With this project, lesson plan bundle, you won’t have to plan a single day of a full year in your drawing and painting class. Shading basics, charcoal, printmaking, watercolor, mixed media, and more are covered. Designed to be taught after an Introduction to Art/Art I, and Drawing I/II class this is perfect for 10th, 11th, and 12th graders (but can be adapted to lower and higher levels).
