LESSON PLANS: Teaching Teachers The Basics of Visual Arts

[Frank W. Baker]

This news story, Teaching Teachers The Basics of Visual Arts, alerted me to The DaVinci Initiative and its work in visual literacy for both teachers and students.

"Da Vinci Initiative lesson plans meet National Standards and integrate Common Core Standards. By developing a series of cross-curricular lesson plans, The Da Vinci Initiative links together the visual arts with subjects such as Math, Science, and Literature. Each lesson encourages a child’s creativity while asking them to analyze what they see and apply it in a variety of different exercises. Please check this page often as additional lesson plans are constantly being added."
