Middle School Visual Arts Activities

I am so proud of this art portfolio cover, for years I left for the last minute to do my art portfolio covers, but since I created these covers it made my life easier. I normally choose one design for each grade and Voalá. Parents like to see a beautiful cover on the portfolios.

Make a great and easy art portfolio cover this year! Use these coloring sheets to create an art portfolio cover for your kiddos, it can be used with all grades. Students may color with a variety of supplies and can add their touch to it! Or you may choose to incorporate the design process into a lesson plan. When students are done, the completed artwork can be affixed to the face of a large folder or other type of portfolio material. Are you an elementary or middle school teacher who enjoys integrating art into your everyday lessons?

This no prep Google Slides project works perfectly with almost any middle grade/YA fiction novel. While students are highly engaged and thinking creatively they are simultaneously analyzing text elements such as the plot, conflict, resolution, theme, and point of view of various characters. This resource includes directions, an editable yearbook template, and a teacher exemplar in case students need ideas bringing their work to life. Integrates seamlessly to Google Classroom!

The ELA department at my school uses independent projects like these in our choice boards as students finish their work early. This would also be great to replace book reports or as an extension or passion project!

These creative Art name tags were designed to be printed, cut apart, and attached to your student’s amazing artworks. These name tags have a line designated for the student’s name, type of artwork it is, and grade level of the student. Using these name tags makes it easy for handing back artworks to students after the art is displayed in an art gallery, art museum, and/or art show. As an elementary art teacher, I enjoy different color name tags for different grade levels, so I have created 6 unique color palettes per grades K-5th grade. I hope this helps! Enjoy.

Pablo Picasso was among the most impactful artists of the 20th century. He is recognized for co-founding the Cubist movement, creating constructed sculpture, co-inventing collage, and for the diverse range of styles that he contributed to and examined.

For approximately 80 of his 91 years, Picasso dedicated himself to creating art that played a crucial role in the overall progress of modern art during the 20th century, especially through the creation of Cubism (alongside artist Georges Braque) around 1907.

Picasso is often regarded as THE genius of the twentieth century. Possibly more than any other artist, he transformed the course of art, initiating the modernist movement. He was an innovator of Cubism, subsequently of collage art, and eventually neo-classicism.

This lesson plan centers around the artwork of Pablo Picasso. Numerous activities are provided, arranged in two worksheets. Their answers are provided in the end. Six of his most famous works are also included.

I use this as an introduction activity for my middle school A/V Broadcasting class. I present a really quick overview of film and then they pick a topic with a partner. We take 2-3 days to research and build our presentations and then we take 2-3 days to present our findings. It's a quick introduction to the different periods of film, plus it allows me to see/hear all of my students before we start making videos.

I've included my rubric, which can be easily added into your LMS platform.
