Art Curriculum Children | Painting & Drawing

By Spramani Elaun – Art Teacher

Hi, I’m an artist, homeschool parent, art teacher and art curriculum developer for children. I’ve spent the last few decades teaching thousands of children through my art studio. Like you, when I first started out I didn’t know where to start teaching even though I went to fine art school! I didn’t know what art lessons to start children with, what area to focus on, or how to teach the art standards. Plus I couldn’t find any sequential art curriculum that scaffold for children.

I became stressed and overwhelmed, I usually had to backtrack art lessons. I would later find out my students needed to understand a step better before we moved to the next step. I bought tons of art books, researched libraries and the web for hundreds of hours looking for children’s art curriculum ideas. My deepest desire was that my students had fun art experiences that lead to creativity. Honestly, some of my students hated certain art lessons I presented to them. I made things harder than they needed to be, and without realizing I took away creative choices.

Things finally turned around for me with a lot of trial and error. But, one day my art curriculum came all together. With an invitation to teach at a school with a hundred students all in different grades with limited time. I made the decision to give the same art lesson to all students in every grade level, using the exact same curriculum. I gave them the same exact demonstration and isolated movement. I followed up with letting my students create what ever they wanted afterwards.

I could not believe the results… every single student engaged from start to finish! I’ve explored this art curriculum with studio practice with huge success. Even my adult learners loved learning this way. I accomplished this by making my lessons more digestible to understand.


5 Important Art Curriculum Things I Learned:

  1. Children need to learn isolated movements
  2. Children need easy 1 to 3 step instructions
  3. Children need to see a visual demonstration
  4. Each lesson should reinforce the last skill learned
  5. All foundational art skills can work for primary thu elementary grades

I have tested these curriculums with small to large groups of children of all ages. I now offer proper scaffold sequential organized art lessons in all areas. My curriculums focus on isolated foundational skills sets. I now offer my art curriculum I use every day in my studio to the public.
