First Week of Elementary Art
By Color Me Creative Art Room
Start the school year with creative, purposeful activities designed specifically for the elementary art classroom. This 50-page First Week of Elementary Art pack includes four complete lessons plus flexible back-to-school activities that help students get comfortable in the art room, express their identities, work collaboratively, explore classroom spaces and materials, and build confidence as young artists. The lessons can be taught in sequence during the first several art classes or used individually to fit rotating schedules, shortened class periods, early-finisher time, or unexpected schedule changes. Rather than spending the first week only reviewing rules, students begin creating, communicating, exploring, and thinking like artists from the start.
