Elementary Curriculum Map – Art, Grade K

Subject: Visual Art – Grade K

Introduction for Teachers The Standards and the TEKS:

Time, Duration: Each project will last for 2 days, with students meeting once a week for 50 minutes within an elementary rotation schedule. Thus, a project will last for 2 weeks total. Big Idea: Must be included in all lessons. It should start students understanding the main elements of art being taught. Essential Questions: Must be included in all lessons. It is the Big Idea in question form. It is asked to start the conversation and to later assess what students understand.

1. All Art, Grade K TEKS must be taught. 2. The Lesson Designs for Art, Grade K are centered around the Elements of Art & Principles of Design rather than media. 3. Because the learning is scaffolded, this curriculum map must be followed sequentially.

Beginning Guidelines Time Usage Assessment

1. Projects should be based on an artist + their artwork, a book, and/or a culture. 2. Samples must be available to illustrate what is to be learned and accomplished. 3. Room organization is essential:

Each student will have his/her own seat at table for art production

An instruction center where children go (floor seating suggested) with technology to show the lesson, vocabulary, etc.

A demonstration center where children go (floor seating suggested) where teacher demonstrates the process

Supply area along with supplies on each table 4. Procedures, Processes, and Techniques related to the project. The following must be planned: procuring supplies, clean up, storage of artwork, drying of artwork, picking up artwork, procedures for class end (including recap), procedures for coming into class 5. Projects should be relevant to the student (considering culture) and grade-level appropriate. 6. Clear instructions with much repetition (given incrementally)

1. More time should be spent on procedural instruction, demonstration, and vocabulary. 2. The art-making time is small compared to the preparation and clean up. 3. Divide each project into clear divisions so project can be completed on time. 4. Make time for wrap up and vocabulary reminders at the end of class and student-led artwork appreciation (peer evaluation) at the end of the project.

Students should be assessed based more on participation rather than skill demonstrated. Rubrics could be used, but the focus should still be on participation. Elementary art-making should be fun.

Vocabulary Resources Activities Assessment

Instruction Area: where consistently meet when coming in classroom and where teacher gives instruction Demonstration Area: where teachers demonstrates activity and students get supplies for the project Activity Area: student seats Storage Area(s): could vary Cleaning Area: e.g. sinks Student-Led Artwork Appreciation Area: floor

Book/Video: introducing what is important about art Room Locations: Where things are in the room References: books, video, artwork samples Media: marker, crayon, pencil

See separate Lesson Designs. Students will learn how to: 1. meet for instruction 2. meet for demonstration which includes student activities at seats 3. meet for Student-led Artwork Appreciation at end of project

1. Students should be assessed based more on participation rather than skill demonstrated 2. Rubrics could be used, but the focus should still be on participation 3. Student-led artwork appreciation
