I don’t know about you, but incorporating art standards into lesson plans can be a

challenge. Sometimes using a checklist is the easiest way to demonstrate what standards

your are incorporating into your art projects.

The information in the following checklist was taken directly from the National Core Art

Standards website. You can see the standards HERE.

If you are using my Art School for Kids online art curriculum, you’ll notice that the colors

are color coordinated to match the colors in the curriculum.
