16 Free Lesson-Planning Resources for Art Teachers

The struggle of being an art teacher includes a unique blend of external doubt and internal friction. Art teachers share the same classroom and behavioral challenges that other elementary and secondary educators face while combating a similar stigma that troubles humanities departments across higher education–a skepticism about its value or worse, a presumption that its relative worth is low. Beliefs about art education’s value have lead to defunded programs , larger class sizes, and scheduling constraints. Free lesson-planning resources are particularly valuable to teachers with small budgets, tight time constraints, and little community support.

But beyond this more obvious list of challenges hides an unfortunate familiarity with psychological and ideological anguish. 

Instructors teaching math, science, and computer classes are exempt from the pressures that come with the unending task of proving arts’ impact to administrators and parents. Even disciplines in the humanities like English and social studies carry this privilege at the secondary and lower levels of education, as teaching reading, writing, and America’s founding narrative seem to hold unquestioned importance. For this reason, the art teacher often is isolated, especially when acting as the sole art educator at a school– a Remy in a rat school of scavenger instruction.

Feelings of aloneness are exacerbated by the ideological differences that inform the sides of the value debate. Often, art teachers feel that educators diminishing the status of art are participating in the same apparatus that is regulating society’s opposition toward values associated with art. Art teachers’ instincts are to interfere with such a discourse. Therefore, navigating the gap between personal beliefs and the school’s expectations is complicated by feelings of guilt and duty. 

With all of these daily strifes, easy and reliable help is particularly valuable. Spending less time on planning lessons frees up time and energy for mental wellness and extracurricular problem-solving. Art teachers, enjoy these 16 free lesson-planning resources. They are process-oriented, image-driven, and totally free.

Art Lesson Plans Home

The art lessons section has experienced a massive overhaul. Lessons are now categorized for easier retrieval. If you would like to submit a lesson for inclusion here so that others may benefit, either click on the " Submit a Lesson " link on the side menu of this page or if that doesn't work, contact me . Don't forget to submit images with your lesson. The images should be large so people can see them easily. If your images are too large to submit, contact me .

In this section are hundreds of free art lessons from preschool through the college level. The vast majority of lessons include images and examples. There are some lessons from the early days of IAD that do not include images because they were submitted in the days when teachers did not have access to digital cameras or scanners. If you see a lesson plan without an image and you have done this lesson with your class, please submit the images to me so I can include them.

Because the lesson plans here are free to visitors, no financial incentive for submissions can be obtained. Ads are used to finance the hosting and work on the upkeep of the website.

For those of you who live outside the United States, here is a handy reference for grade levels and their corresponding ages. Grade levels are different around the world but ages are universal, so follow this reference to match the lessons submitted from the USA to the ages you teach:

Elementary school

Pre-school: Ages 3-5 Kindergarten: Ages 5-6 First grade: Ages 6-7 Second grade: Ages 7-8 Third grade: Ages 8-9 Fourth grade: Ages 9-10 Fifth grade: ages 10-11 Middle school (Junior High includes grades 7-8 or 9) Sixth grade: ages 11-12 Seventh grade: ages 12-13 Eighth grade: ages 13-14 High School 9th grade: ages 14-15 (Freshman) 10th grade: ages 15-16 (Sophomore) 11th grade: ages 16-17 (Junior) 12th grade: ages 17-18 (Senior)

In case you missed it, the menu for all our lessons is on the side column. You can find lessons according to your grade level as well as cartoon and drama/art lessons.

Building an Art Lesson Plan

Step 1: Create Learning Objectives / Goals

Think about the final objective for your lesson. What do you want your students to accomplish? These objectives should be measurable and relate to any state or country standards you may have. In the U.S.A., the federal standards are found on the Getty website . You should have around three objectives for each lesson. If you have too many, the lesson becomes too complicated and is more difficult to assess.

Step 2: Write Activities That Support Your Objectives / Goals

Create at least one activity that will address your objectives and standards. IAD includes hundreds of lessons that offer a variety of styles. If you find one you like, you can use it as a template for your own lessons. It is important that your activity is age appropriate. Sometimes determining this requires some experience.

Because anyone can submit a lesson on IAD, some may not have the quality of others. However, valuable information can still be gleaned from them and perhaps they will jog your memory enough to create better lessons of your own.

Step 3: Create a Rubric and/or Assessment

There are many rubrics on IAD. Many are universal in nature and you can use them for your own lessons. Your rubrics should describe well what a finished product should look like at several levels. The skills or objectives should be on the far left column and across the top should be the levels of quality for each grade. Of course your assessments should include any local or national standards.

Strategies and Philosophies

There are various philosophies and strategies for creating art lessons that truly motivate students. Some of these strategies are found in our Teacher Toolkit section for newer art teachers. A good lesson addresses the learning styles of all students, not just a visually-oriented art student. The lesson will include activities that use the following intelligences: Kinesthetic, visual, auditory, linguistic, logical, intra-personal, and others as listed by Howard Gardner and others.

A good lesson will have an introduction that really grabs the attention of students. Some call this the "anticipatory set" from Madeline Hunter's research (Additional information can be found in the Teacher Toolkit section). Without a good introduction, the rest of the lesson could fail because students aren't interested in putting their personal best in the assignment. The introduction should illustrate to the student how the lesson will relate to them personally.

Finally, your art lesson should address your state or provincial standards. Good art teachers know how to integrate the arts into the other subject matter. Geometry can be integrated through architecture of the Renaissance. History can be integrated through famous art that illustrates important events in history. Geography can be integrated through creating visual maps in cartography. Science can be integrated through subjects in nature. Not all states have visual arts standards so if your state doesn't have them, have them match up with the national standards found on the Kennedy Center website.
