This is a resource used by New York City visual art teachers with benchmarks, suggested themes, and project ideas for each grade, K-12. It also includes ways to link to other cross-curriculum subjects such as literacy or math.

Inspired by many iterations of this, I recently made this one to use in our Middle School Makerspace. 🤩

This middle or high school sculpture unit only requires a couple of simple materials at a very low cost. Students learn about various famous artists and then choose one of their works to recreate as a cardboard relief sculpture. Students practice their observational drawings skills and learn about foreground, middle ground, and background as well as multiple techniques to create texture using cardboard. The project takes about 2-3 weeks to complete depending on the length of the classes.

A sculptural installation made entirely of cardboard, “The Garden: Real and Imagined” is the work of 16 high school art students who are strangers to one another, to the material they would use, and to the group process required to achieve their vision.
