Do you know that art lesson plans for elementary students are helping them become more visionary, even at such a young age? Yes, art is deeply rooted in imagination and creativity. Fostering students’ art enhances their cognitive thinking, so they feel more confident in their choices and ideas. No more dilemmas or confusion. Although there are many different methods of teaching, the right one is an artist-based art curriculum. These art curricula don’t bluntly dictate to draw; rather, they follow a strategy to make learning art simple and joyful for elementary students. Let’s discuss artist-based curriculum in detail.

Start from the basics- basic means engaging the students

Start from the basics- basic means engaging the students.Ā 


If students complain about art as a boring class, it isn’t about students’ interest or disinterest; it is the teaching method that is making students slump. Instead of directly starting the first day of art class with sketches, engaging the children to develop an interest in the arts and artistic forms is the foundation for teaching and learn art. So, a few sessions should focus on the history of great artists (such as how they developed an interest in art and their fascinating artworks). Then slowly introduce students to art vocabulary, the art elements, and the essential sketching props. When schools or students opt for art curriculum courses, such as
Paul Cezanne art work, all the props for drawing are provided.

Once the students are connected to the artists’ fascinating lives, it’s time to introduce them to drawing techniques. The artist-based curricula provide worksheets to practice different types of lines, shapes, and shades. This foundation will help the children to draw full sketches easily.

Now it’s time to grab a pencil and paper.

Students reach the art projects level.


Once the students master the basic techniques, it’s time to draw a complete sketch. Reaching this level, students will be enthusiastic and confident about drawing. All artistic lessons and worksheet practices will provide students with a full understanding of how to draw and sketch, and will help them implement their favorite artistic styles. There will be multiple levels in the
arts activities for elementary students curricula, so the teachers should start from the beginner level and slowly progress to the advanced level.Ā

Schools should regularly conduct art curriculum workshops to raise young students’ awareness of art’s importance.

Everyone Loves MTM!

I have been involved with and using the Meet the Masters Art Curriculum for about 20 years. I started out as a parent volunteer at my son’s former elementary school in Orange County, and then went on to facilitate and coordinate a Meet the Masters Art program at Maranatha Christian Academy in Santa Ana. This just goes to show how successful and user friendly this art program really is!

The biggest blessing for me, is being involved with such an amazing and diverse curriculum that draws kids in to the world of art, the lives of the artist, as well as the history behind the great masters. I know that their love of learning about art is translated into the many art projects that Meet the Masters offers. The MTM staff are here to assist you in designing your schools individual programs and offer you the support to make sure that you and your program will succeed.
