Another Valentine’s Day art lesson that looks complex but is secretly so simple. This one works beautifully for primary students and easily stretches into third through fifth grade. All it takes is a 9 x 9 square and a little line magic. Students draw a heart, add intersecting lines, and suddenly math and art are having a moment. We count the shapes inside the heart, and color each shape a different color. Then we count the shapes outside the heart. Every tiny shape gets its own color, which is

Looking for an engaging elementary art lesson that explores shape, pattern, and cultural appreciation? This third grade project is inspired by the beauty of concentric shapes and the traditional use of dots in global art forms. We traced our hands and explored radial design using colorful dots, while learning how cultures like the Indigenous Australians, the Yoruba of Nigeria, and the Matis in Canada use repeated shapes and dots in meaningful ways. This hands-on project helps students build fine

This pumpkin batik on burlap is one of my favorite fall art lessons. Using washable Elmer’s glue and acrylic craft paint, students learn the batik process in a kid-friendly way. It’s a three-week project that combines drawing, texture, painting, and patience to create vibrant autumn pumpkins. Perfect for fall art curriculum, seasonal classroom decor, or

Today’s art lesson: Pop Art meets snack time. Inspired by Roy Lichtenstein, my students turned painted papers into comic strips featuring one very dramatic apple. Yes, we embraced Ben-Day dots—because nothing says “elementary art” quite like painstakingly recreating a 1960s printing technique. It’s comic relief, but make it curriculum. #RoyLichtenstein #PopArt #ComicArt #ElementaryArt #ArtTeacherLife #TeachingArt #ArtClassroom #CreativeKids #ArtEducation #StudentArt #ArtTeachersOfInstagram #Visu
