ChrisB Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'll probably be teaching art to the K class this fall at our Friday co-op. I'll have a 45 min. class time for about 11 weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallory Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think Doing Art Together would be great for this! It is Based on the methods taught in parent-child workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I love how it walks you through even setting up each station and was a big help for a very non arty person like myself. I also like that it isn't crafty, but painting, sculpting, and collage. The book is cheap at amazon- http://www.amazon.com/Doing-Art-Together-Muriel-Silberstein-Storfer/dp/0810926679 But after a quick google search it also looks like there are you tube videos and other sites about it. I didn't use those, but I bet there is lots of good info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorisuewho Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have been doing this Usborne book with my children. I really like it. On the left side of the page is a piece of art to study and discuss. On the rightside are a number of art activities to do to experiment/learn about some elements of art. It is very doable and has an easy format. It is the perfect level for kindergarten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduemeche Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We use Artistic Pursuits K-3....I think the simplicity, format and cost would be a good fit for your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happykate Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm not sure if you want art appreciation or just art, but for the just art part look at deepspacesparkle.com. It's the blog of an art teacher with tons of free step by step lessons. I did several of her lessons with my crew at home this year and they all turned out great! The kids loved it! I am not an art person, so if I could do it, anyone can. She has the lessons arranged by subject, medium, or grade level. I think you'll really like it.
