Year Long Art Activities Seasonal Art Lessons Elements of Art Seasons Activities

This Year-Long ARTivity Book Bundle includes all 12 of my seasonal ARTivity workbooks, giving you structured, skill-based Elements of Art and Principles of Design lessons for every major season and holiday from back to school to June. Each ARTivity Book has 20 structured pages of skill-building art lessons.

It is made for elementary art teachers working with K to 5, classroom teachers integrating art, homeschool families, new art teachers building a curriculum, and art sub plans. Instead of searching for seasonal lessons every month, you can prep once a month and teach with consistent vocabulary, expectations and skill progression all year.
