Your students can CREATE A CHARACTER. Drawing project for art teachers. How to teach art tutorial

CREATE A CHARACTER Art Class lesson plan Before you begin your drawings brainstorm about they types of characters you can create, and learn about different types of stories that have great characters. You can write down some information about your characters, or write a whole story. This is a great project to incorporate ELL or Language Arts into your visual art curriculum, or to partner with a general education teacher. HOW TO TEACH This is an art tutorial on a single lesson or project to help art teachers teach. Heidi How “How to Teach” videos take you through each step of the lesson including videos, exercises, games, project and cleanup. We list the supplies needed and warn about possible problems and mistakes you may encounter while teaching. “How to Teach” art videos are meant to be a starting point for you to use an adapt to your own needs. Tell us what works for your art program and how you adapt the lesson for your students. The HEIDI HOW channel produces easy to follow, skill building art project tutorials for art teachers and home school art. Most projects are easily adaptable for "Art on a Cart" teachers and TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) classrooms. Heidi How art lesson tutorials are perfect for beginning teachers, especially first year art teachers. Heid How also has a lot of great ideas if you are looking to refresh your art curriculum and integrate some new art lessons and fun art projects. Most tutorials are geared toward Elementary Art (K-5), but most can be easily expanded and adapted for middle school and high school art programs. Use Heidi How lessons when • you are a beginning or first year teacher • you need a lesson to demonstrate for a job interview • you want to add art to your home school curriculum • you have a TAB classroom or are transitioning to TAB (teaching for artistic behavior) • you teach art on a cart • you are an elementary art teacher who needs new ideas, lessons or methods Heidi How is meant to be a community resource. I will posting my entire curriculum: everything I know about teaching art. I encourage you to comment and post your own ideas suggestions, photos, successes and flops for us all to share.
