50 Needed Worksheets for Art Students and Art Teachers

This 61 page PDF contains 50 much needed worksheets, tests, handouts, lists and more that every art teacher should have in their classroom. After years of searching for just the right visuals to use, and after making countless hand-outs myself, I’ve decided to share my 50 favorites with you. Simply print the file, then choose the ones most relevant to your unit of study and copy them as you need. These worksheets are perfect for middle school and high school students, but can surely be used in the upper elementary or even university level classes. The topics covered are wide ranging and well thought out. Most of the worksheets are a combination of both words and images pieced together so that alterations may be easily made to suit your own needs (if you wanted to alter them). Many of the worksheets are two sided. Some are visuals, some contain definitions, others are quizzes, charts, recipes, exercises, and more. From painting and color, to drawing and shading, perspective, landscapes, still-lives, masks and more, I trust you’ll find that these provide a wealth of information at a minimal price. Some of the worksheets are available for purchase individually on my site, yet here, they are bundled to save you money and work. I hope you’ll enjoy these worksheets as much as my students and I do. Thanks, and enjoy!
