Remembering Like Grandma Moses 2nd Ed. Lesson Plan

Description

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Grandma Moses and Folk Art while learning about Emphasis (one of the Principles of Design) and Focal Point.

This lesson works well for the Classical Conversations’ Cycle 3, Week 13 (C3W13) fine arts. However, it can be used in a variety of circumstances. Looking for more help? We have a full page of free and paid helps for Cycle 3!

*Most of our lesson plans include printable images of the artist’s work within the lesson plan. However, since Grandma Moses’ artwork is still under copyright, we can not include them in this product. You can easily follow the links provided where you will find printable images of her art.

This lesson is also available at a discount in the “Modern Artists Deluxe Package” which includes 6 lesson plans, plus extras, and is ideal for weeks 13-18 of Fine Arts in a cycle 3 Classical Conversations Foundations community.
