    A Community of Artists Art Lesson Plan

    A Community of Artists: Art Lesson Plan

    From Laguna Beach, CA to Provincetown, MA, and here and there in between, you’ll find thriving artists colonies boasting countless galleries. Dedicated artists have come together to share their love of art, and likely the natural beauty of their colony’s surroundings.

    Together, these artists support and nurture each other’s work, solve problems, and inspire each other to continue creating, day after day. Your student artists can do the same for each other, in a classroom Community of Artists.

    Begin by studying the styles of the better-known art communities – Impressionists, Cubists, Surrealists, etc, and let students choose the styles they’d like to replicate. In groups, students will construct sturdy paper houses and work together to design them according to the art style they’ve selected. When complete, group all houses together to create a community of artists. Discuss what makes a community and how it’s helpful in creative work.

    Collaboration is good for everyone and building a classroom Community of Artists is a great way to incorporate team work into your art lessons.

    View our “A Community of Artists” lesson plan, including step-by-step instructions and a materials list.

    For Grades 5-12
