High School Visual Arts Curriculum - FULL YEAR BUNDLE for grades 9, 10, 11, 12

This is a Visual Arts bundle for a semester-long Visual Arts course that is perfect if you're a first year teacher assigned either 9, 10, 11, or 12 high school art (or a combo of them!). It has enough assignments to last the whole year.

If you're teaching juniors or seniors, there's something here for every class. All the projects are easily adaptable to fit your needs, and can easily be mixed and matched.

....Or maybe you're a seasoned art teacher who just wants some new, fresh projects to add to your rotation, this will work for that too.

It's my art binder put into one package, to make it easy for you to go through each unit and deliver the visual arts curriculum, while challenging students and covering all the key curriculum units. There's lots of choice involves with many assignments - so that students can be super creative and expressive.

✔ included are many generic "go to" handouts that you can use with any grade level

✔ they're not specifically divided into grades, because the course sometimes overlap and can be mixed and matched

✔PLEASE make sure you have access to Powerpoint and Microsoft Word for the documents that I've added which can be edited to suit your class needs. Some are PDF and can't be edited.

TIMELINE:

• I use this content over a 5 month long semester, but there's enough materials for a full year +
• Most projects are at least 3-4 weeks, depending. It's very flexible!

ENJOY! I hope this makes teaching art accessible for you and your students.
