These are the Minnesota Art Standards 9-12 only! Easy to read and use! Here is the artist statement worksheet that I use for all my classes. Intro to Art only fills out this sheet, but upperclassmen use it to write a formal statement. Common Assessment for all Art Projects

Here are some of the things I like to use in my classroom! Enjoy! Beg, borrow, and steal what you would like:)

Intro to Art (9-12th graders) Collage to Canvas is a twist on a magazine collage that turns into an abstract painting in the end! Two pieces of art in one packed lesson!

Fun warm-up with Surrealism!

Expansion of a Triangle

Lesson Examples. I use this as a beginning point and teach primitive art... Why do we make art? Then students create this drawing which is compiled of images of things they enjoy and like. The problem is how to compile dissimilar objects into a composition that makes sense.

I like this way of showing students how to tackle a project. We are really teaching ways to think!!!

Stained Glass Class

Eggshell Mosaics are a test of patience for students, but turn out so nice when completed!

This is a glass mosaic using stained glass scraps and small tiles. It is grouted with white non sanded grout tinted blue with acrylic paint.

A mosaic vase and two small traditional stained glass pieces. The mask was made in Crafts class.
