Art

Written Curriculum - This document outlines what teachers at each grade level should strive to teach their students. The elementary written curriculum is divided into three sections according to student actions: Producing Art; Reflecting on Art Critically; and Perceiving Art from a Contemporary, Historic, and Aesthetic Perspective. These, in turn, directly reflect the Alaska State Standards expectations that all students will have some instruction in art production, historical/ contemporary studies, art criticism, and the consideration of the beauty and meaning of art.

Art Kits - These kits are comprehensive and include the lesson plan, art reproductions, and any specific directions. They also include any esoteric materials required, but do not include easily available art materials. There are over 200 kits that may be checked out by staff and FNSBSD households on a two week rotating basis through Library Media Services. Contact LMS for kit previewing and booking assistance at (907) 452-2000 x11243. 

Additional information and limited resources may be found on the Project ARTiculate site: www.projectarticulate.org.

Grade-Level Artists, Their Biographies, and Some Reproductions - Every grade level has been assigned artists. These selections are updated during a curriculum rewrite. They are selected considering student age and interests; social studies themes; and a historical, multicultural, and gender-based overview. The biographies of these artists are included in the curriculum document. Artists are listed in the curriculum and on the grade-level art charts.
