The world of online art curricula is vast and varied. On the one hand, you may be overwhelmed with all of the choices and have difficulty deciphering what distinguishes one over another. On the other hand, you may be frustrated because most of what you find caters to parents, homeschool settings, or informal art instruction. But how do you vet your options for K\u201312 art curriculum? We want you to fully understand your options.<\/p>\n

Read on to understand what to look for in an art curriculum.<\/h2>\n

\"pile<\/p>\n

What is a \u201ccomplete\u201d curriculum?<\/h3>\n

First, let\u2019s examine what constitutes a \u201ccomplete\u201d curriculum. A complete curriculum serves a wide range of students and includes resources beyond lesson plans. It is aligned to standards and is created, curated, and vetted by a group of experts in the field. A complete curriculum can not only enhance your students\u2019 art experience but can also build a strong foundation for your art program.<\/p>\n

When evaluating to see if a curriculum can work for you, look for these six things to ensure you will have everything you need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Scope and Sequences<\/strong>
    \nA map that shows all of the lessons and major ideas taught in a school year or for the duration of a course.<\/li>\n
  2. Unit Plans<\/strong>
    \nA unit plan is an overarching organizational tool that groups lesson plans together, usually by theme.<\/li>\n
  3. Lesson Plans<\/strong>
    \nLesson plans include the following components: the time required, standards, objective(s), cross-curricular connections or areas of study, vocabulary, materials and supplies, instructional strategies, activity\/project steps, differentiation and accommodations, resources, and assessment and reflection.<\/li>\n
  4. Standards Alignment<\/strong>
    \nStandards can be state, local, and\/or national. They reflect best practices and current thought in art education and are developed by experts. They ensure your lessons are on target and age-appropriate.<\/li>\n
  5. Resources<\/strong>
    \nThese can make the classroom experience come alive! They can include vocabulary lists, images, videos, websites, worksheets, planning sheets, reference sheets, artist biographies, and more.<\/li>\n
  6. Assessments<\/strong>
    \nFormative assessment occurs during instruction and is ongoing. Summative assessment occurs at the end of instruction and is a one-time measurement. Both confirm that students are understanding and meeting the lesson objectives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
