This guide is intended to aid local elementary and middle schools in Idaho as they improve and expand art instruction for their students. This model is built around discipline-based art education and allows students to experience art aesthetics, art history, art criticism, and art production. This is a sample and is not considered to be comprehensive for all grade levels and in all areas. The guide includes scope and sequence of instruction and a core of art lessons. The sample lessons suggested in the guide provide a model to assist teachers in developing additional lessons for each of the art elements. Goals and objectives are provided for each grade level. Each lesson contains sample questions to guide the students in the evaluation of their own work and the works of others in relation to the objectives of the lesson. (Contains a glossary of art terms and a list of numerous and varied art resources for both teachers and students.) (EH)
