These art projects for high school can be used in 5 different art classes, each class building on the previous. While geared towards high school, the Intro to Art curriculum can be started in middle school. 

❤️All of these art lessons and art projects are tried and true. Each of my courses builds on the last, so the students follow a progression of skills as they move from Introduction to Art to Drawing to Painting to Advanced 2D to AP® Art.

Recommended teaching schedule for these art lessons:

✅Intro to art be taught to 7-10th graders

✅Drawing to 9th-11th

✅Painting to 9th-11th graders

✳✳The Introduction to Art and AP® Art curriculums are packed with so much goodness the TPT website can't handle them. You will download a PDF with instructions on how to download these folders from a Dropbox website. You do not need a Dropbox account to access them.✳✳
