Let’s dive in on my Top 5 Favorite Art Lesson Plans and Resources so that way you can get inspired for new art lesson and project teaching ideas for back to school or to include in your curriculum or scope and sequence so you can plan art like a pro! If you’re like me, you probably love to feel organized with a general idea of what you plan to teach in the upcoming school year. Infact, my favorite thing is to plan my Back to School during the LAST month of school before I go out on vacation, so I can use all that time off to really recharge my energy, health, and mindset. Teaching is such a draining profession and I am a huge advocate for teachers using time away from school for them (and I know there isn’t enough of that because so many are marking and planning at home).
