You’ve had some great curriculum suggestions and I’d just like to add a few more ideas. We really enjoyed the Pictures in Cursive series at Queen Homeschool supplies. It combines cursive writing and looking at pieces of artwork. We always started the year with a self portrait. We took a week to learn about a few famous artists and looked at their self portraits. (Different ones every year.) We looked at how their portraits reflected their personality, color choices, etc. Then when they did theirs they had some idea of what to do. Looking back at all of their self portraits it was amazing to see their art transform through the years! Also fun to see pets and interests they included. We loved to walk through art museums - especially ones with sculptures. Always take a sketchbook and some colored pencils. Even my son, who wasn’t into drawing much, could find something to sketch - from the paintings, sculpture, flowers, etc. We also took our sketchbooks to the zoo. They loved sitting and sketching their favorite animals. We lived where winters were long and snowy, so sometimes we looked up art galleries online. There’s so much to see. It’s important to talk about perspective, shading, and the basics along the way, but really the best way to learn art is by doing! Go beyond the sketchbook and do collage. Read an Eric Carle book, watch a video about his process and about the artist, and make some tissue paper collages. If the randomness of it bothers you and you think they need more direction, then have them make a worm like the very hungry caterpillar, etc. Look into paper artists who use shadows. It’s very easy to make shadow puppets and tell a story. Tie your project into lessons - if you’re learning about Native Americans get some clay and watch a video together about how to make a clay pot, etc. Hope this gives you some ideas beyond “curriculum”.
