TEACH Engineering
TEACH Engineering
(from the Homepage) "The TeachEngineering digital library provides teacher-tested, standards-based engineering content for K-12 teachers to use in science and math classrooms. Engineering lessons connect real-world experiences with curricular content already taught in K-12 classrooms. Mapped to educational content standards, TeachEngineering's comprehensive curricula are hands-on, inexpensive, and relevant to children's daily lives. Remember — you don't need to be an engineer to use these curricular resources!"

The Arts @ Pete's Power Point Station
Pete's Power Point Station offers free K-12 power point presentations and interactive kids games. Above is the image from The Arts page which contains many presentations ranging from artists, periods, vocabulary, and processes. The full list of topics is pictured below.
eGFI
It's an interactive site and magazine with lesson plans, online store, newsletter, teacher resources, videos, and a student blog.
Illuminations
I believe that all subjects can be taught through art, and art can be taught through all subjects. After all, everything is related to each other somehow...the key is finding out how. I often find myself searching within other subject areas to find inspiration for my one-day-art class and curriculum. I love LOVE LOVE finding relationships between things, so this seems to be a natural progression for me. Nevertheless, my point is that I often come across math and science sites and resources that are just begging to be incorporated into a visual arts lesson plan.
Illuminations, from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, is a great teaching resource which includes activities, lessons, and standards for K-12 mathematics. Given the relationship between art and math, this is a valuable tool for art teachers as well. This relationship can be seen in:
Below is a worksheet maker that I thought was very neat. It is called Dynamic Paper, and it easily creates a variety of PDF worksheets which are available for you to download or embed into a webpage.

- Shapes
- Measurement
- Tessellations
- Fractals
- Knots
- Proportion
- Patterns
- Architecture
- Plus much more...

Mrs. Brown's Art Class
Mrs. Brown's Art Class is another great place to visit for lesson ideas and teaching tips.
Mixbook
PLEASE NOTE: This post contains images of an art-portfolio Mixbook. Some pages contain images of nude figure drawings from a university art class.
I included Mixbook in a previous post, but here is an example of a Mixbook that I created. I ordered a hard copy of this version, and I have to admit...I LOVE IT!!!
This can be a great way for students to showcase their work, and the applications for educational use are pretty much unlimited. You can collaborate with others on the same book, order hard copies, or view & embed digital versions. Special discounts are available for educators. Tip: Coupon codes are almost always available at RetailMeNot (another website I can not live without)
NGA Classroom
NGA Classroom for Teachers and Students contains images, lesson plans, virtual tours, interactive activities, and other resources about the visual arts.
Health & Safety in the Arts
Health & Safety in the Arts is a searchable database that lists safety information for various art mediums. This is a must-go-to website for any art teacher or artist. GREAT GREAT GREAT!
Project ARTiculate
Project ARTiculate "provides art lesson plans for teachers. All lessons have been developed and time-tested by the specialists at the Art Center in the Fairbanks, Alaska public schools."
Also included on the site is a glossary of terms, safety information, and info on the
Elements and Principles of Art.
