WHAT'S INCLUDED
Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though!

My class loved this art project! You've included everything possible to make every step go as smoothly as possible. It had just the right amount of guidance but also challenged my students. Thank you so much!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My fifth grade students really enjoyed this O'Keeffe project and they look awesome hanging in our hallway! They had fun shaking dice to see what designs they would draw and then paint for the background….For a finishing touch, the students punched holes with a paper punch at the bottom of the artwork and used yarn pieces to tie a colorful fringe. Thanks for this creative lesson. I will definitely want to use it again with future students!
