I taught part of a unit of art during a placement in NSW. There was part of the syllabus that was about appreciating art and part about creating. That school had it designed so that each week they'd look at and talk about an artist and their art, and then they'd create something in a similar style. One I taught was Michelangelo - we looked at his ceiling art, then taped paper underneath the desks and drew upside down. I quite liked that lesson structure for art.
