Check out a preview of this drawing and painting curriculum here: Drawing and painting Curriculum Preview Pack
This high school art curriculum is everything you need to teach a year of drawing and painting. 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, scratchboard, color theory painting, watercolor, mixed media, and more are covered. Designed to be taught after an Introduction to Art or Art I course, this is perfect for 10th and 11th graders (but can be adapted to lower and higher levels).
Each lesson includes a lesson plan, supply list, vocabulary, step by step instructions, PowerPoints, rubrics, critique sheets, handouts, and anything else needed to complete the project. This art curriculum was created for 9th-12th grade high school art students.
This drawing and painting curriculum focuses on the basics of drawing and painting techniques but also goes beyond traditional materials such as pencil, tempera paint, and charcoal. In addition to the basics, still life, and charcoal drapery drawings, students also learn about mixed media, scratchboard, printmaking, colored pencil, bookbinding techniques, and much more.
