Creating Your Own Lesson

If you would like to create your own Art Lesson, here is some helpful information and things you’ll need!

Be sure to coordinate with the teacher on times for Art Masterpiece and whether you’ll use the Maker Space or the Classroom.

  1. Choose an Artist and Project. There is a link to additional lesson ideas above! Google is great as well (example search: 3rd Grade Art Lessons)

  2. Check the Maker Space for Supplies. If you need to make a request, please email artmasterpiece@sveptso.com. If you end up purchasing supplies yourself, email us we will send you a reimbursement form. Please be mindful of cost as this is funded by the PTSO and Donations.

  3. Artist photo and bio (if available)

  4. Step by Step Lesson instructions

  5. Lesson Plan (talk about the artist, style and show a few examples)

    1. If you need the electronic board for a PowerPoint, PDF or Video, email it to the teacher ahead of time.

    2. Show a sample of the project. Can be one you’ve pre-made or a picture example.
