Mixed Media Art Lesson Plans (Planning)

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Aug 29, 2009

I’ve been making note about the creation of mixed media art lesson plans for the classroom for quite some time, and now that the new school year is upon us, it’s time to start putting these plans into action. Over the course of the school year, I have plans to write and present at least one lesson plan per week. Some of these lesson plans will contain pictures of the creative process I work through with my own children, while others will not (because some of these plans I’ve already worked through with my children and did not take pictures of the process).

In either case, these lesson plans will be straight forward enough for you to print and take with you. Some teachers have sent me notes about how they like printing and reproducing the pieces I’ve written to hand out to their class. So, I’ll be striving to create very easy to understand instructions using materials that should already be on hand. And, if these materials are not on hand, they should be inexpensive enough for students to bring to class with them with the help of their parents or guardians.

If there is a particular lesson plan you would like to present to your classroom or use in your homeschooling programs, feel free to send me a message or write a comment on this blog post. I’m all ears and would love to hear your suggestions! Until then, the first of the series of lesson plans will be rolling out the first week of September. I may bulk up and present a number of them to get the ball rolling, and then slowly taper off as each semester progresses. We’ll see what happens!
