Art History Resources

I've always loved art, and as a history teacher it made sense to create some resources to teach Art History.  I hope to get some time to create more resources on other art movements soon! 


 
ART HISTORY "Cubism"


This download includes both the 25-slide PowerPoint AND the follow-along graphic organizer (in PDF and MS WORD format).

This activity can be used as an introductory lesson, a central lesson, or a review lesson on the art movement. Many slides are designed to help students understand the history behind the movement. For example, the slides include:

* flowcharts showing how art movements cause later art movements
* timelines showing other art movements in historical context
* "three truths and a lie" mini-quiz about the movement
* definitions, characteristics, and key figures of the movement
* "Overview" with text and background on the movement
* "artist spotlight" focusing on one artist from the movement
* Instructions for students to select an additional painting/artist from the movement to research further

Students use the graphic organizer (included) to follow along. Enjoy!
