Art Lesson Plan Generator
Project-based art lessons with a materials list and reflection.
Homeroomie's art lesson plan generator writes complete art lessons — a look at an artist or technique, a demonstration, a studio project with step-by-step timing, a materials list, and a reflection or critique. Tell it the grade, the medium or technique, and any theme or artist, and download a plan with printable reflection and planning pages. Start free.

How the art lessons are built
Art lessons are timed around studio work: a short introduction, a demonstration, most of the period for making, and a few minutes to clean up and reflect. The generator writes the timing that way and lists every material so you can set up before class.
Art standards vary by state, and the generator doesn't yet include an art standards picker — type the standard you use into the standard field and the objectives and assessment align to it.
