Planning a High School Art 1 course can feel overwhelming when you are trying to organize projects, skills, supplies, pacing, assessments, and different schedule lengths all at once. This 24-page High School Art 1 Curriculum Map & Pacing Guide gives teachers a practical framework for organizing an introductory high school art course without having to start from scratch. The resource includes flexible planning options for a full-year course, semester, 9-week rotation, or 6-week mini-course, along with unit sequencing, skill progression, lesson timing, supply planning, assessment guidance, and reusable teacher planning templates.
