Introduction

The following lessons have been created to assist exposing children to the world of art. These activities are low cost, step-by-step, simple and fun, which include the California State Visual Arts Standards.　The curriculum can be used in conjunction with other subjects (math, science, history…) or independently resulting in fun projects for the kids. Teachers and parents can read these activities to the kids and make easy adaptations at anytime. For those who have art backgrounds, these lessons can easily be molded into his or her own comfort level or altered completely. Since art is subjective, it is simple to grade. It is based on participation, not on ability or talent. Every student is talented in his or her own unique way and should not be compared amongst peers. Therefore, children deserve to be graded on participation alone.
