SPARK Hybrid Learning Curriculum from Art Class Curator

Teachers are used to going above and beyond, but the last couple of years have blown our routines and expectations out of the water.

Covid numbers are rising again. Schools are starting late, going remote, or. . . simply hoping for the best.

Are we back at the beginning?
What happens when half the staff is out and students are still coming to school sick?
How are we going to put together supplies packets without any added resources this time around?
What's the plan when there aren't enough subs?
How do we address student's emotional needs right now?
Will there be any joy left...for me or my students? 💔

With so many questions still unanswered and plans bound to change as the year progresses, we at Art Class Curator have been busy making the resources art teachers need most right now.

What do you need?

Whether you’re planning for remote learning, art on a cart, in a socially-distanced classroom, or want easy-to-follow sub plans, you’re going to need:

Lessons that don’t depend on lots of expensive supplies you’d usually share
Creative projects that students can easily complete on their own with limited supplies
Activities that don’t leave your classroom and students messy
Learning that will build students up with the social-emotional skills they need right now
Artworks, discussions, and activities that speak to students
Plans that are adaptable to whatever this school year brings without overwhelming you with even more work

This is where SPARK Hybrid Art Curriculum comes in like the hero we all need and deserve. 💪

Specially-curated artworks from across time and cultures

Video about the artwork with age appropriate worksheets

"I loved SPARK and I really feel that it gave me a lot of sanity this spring. I loved the videos and background on the different artists....I was so happy to find this curriculum and felt it was well worth my investment."

-- Brandi D. 🤩

"Thank you for the spark on-line curriculum. I didn't use all of it last quarter, but have definitely saved it to use for this upcoming year, because who knows how this is going to "shake out." Yes, anything you do is and has been great! Keep up the great work, Cindy and all!"

—Sue W. 😍

"I love the whole layout of the worksheets they are really helpful. The information video is great too."

—Tracy M. 😊

"I really appreciated how the lessons tied into the current SEL challenges that students were having during these times of Covid."

—Gaylynn B. 😁

"I used Spark when we went to remote learning and I found it very helpful. I didn't have time to gather all the materials and create assignments so this pre-packaged lesson material was great. It was high quality and easily formatted to fit my platforms. PowerPoints were short and well designed. I liked that I could customize them with whatever I needed. The students found it engaging and conceptually accessible."

—Mary W. 😃

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SPARK Hybrid Art Curriculum?

This hybrid curriculum includes a full year of lessons written to adapt to however you’re teaching this year—on a cart, in a socially-distanced classroom, relying on a sub, or even online.

Each unit is centered around a different diverse artwork and uses Art Class Curator’s Curated Connections Framework to ignite deeper learning. In the Framework, we curate relevant and connected artworks. Students discuss or write about the artwork (using our SPARK art criticism model), engage with the art working using a creative learning activity, extend the learning with an idea-centered project, and finally reflect on their learning.

Each weekly unit includes:

⭐ Specially-curated artwork from across time and cultures

⭐ In-depth art analysis activity

⭐ Creative art engagement activities

⭐ Video about the artwork with student note-taking sheets

⭐ Thoughtful, creativity-inspiring art projects with options for both online or in-classroom learning

⭐ Weekly reflection assignment
