36 Elementary Art Lessons for Kids – one for every week of the school year! Perfect for homeschool families, teachers, scout leaders, and parents! 

Elementary Art Lessons for KidsElementary Art Lessons for Kids

Art is my favorite part of our homeschool week, so to prepare for the upcoming school year, I put together this list of 36 art lessons for kids – one for each week of the school year. These fun and creative art activities are geared for elementary aged children and are adaptable for students in grades K-6. Many of these kids art project ideas are inspired by famous artists throughout history, and all of them are sure to be a ton of educational fun!

Most of these kids art projects require only basic supplies such as tempera paint, watercolors, paint brushes, construction paper, glue, oil pastels, and clay. They’re perfect for a single student or an entire classroom full of kids!

    Hi, thanks for sharing your art lessons. I was interested in the liquid art project. What did you use to get the movement in the paint.

    Thanks

    Seeing these ideas makes me want to quit my job as a preschool teacher and go back to school to become an art teacher!

    Hello! I desire to one day teach some art classes (have in the past, figuring out logistics for the future). Do you mind if I utilize some of these projects to teach with? I would absolutely give you credit for ideas I borrow from.

    Hello there! I am a fourth grade teacher at an international school in Singapore and we need to provide a one-hour art lesson every week. I used this awesome collection the plan the whole year’s worth and can’t wait to expose my students to a beautiful variety of artists and techniques. Thanks for putting this together!
