Art Across Time and Place - Years 3–4

$6.99

Art Lives Here supports Years 1–2 learners to connect an artwork with its context, audience and possible purpose. Named museum sources introduce thoughtful looking and evidence-based explanations. Safe card-printing and torn-paper collage trials lead to an original artwork based on learners’ own school observations or imagined places.

The unit contains ten complete separate editable lesson presentations. Lessons 1–8 form the core sequence; Lessons 9–10 are optional reinforcement and do not carry essential assessment. Each lesson is planned for 60 minutes: 5 minutes looking/recall, 10 minutes demonstration/context, 30 minutes making/application, 10 minutes reflection and 5 minutes cleanup.

What's included

  • Ten separate editable lesson presentations: Lessons 01–10, 10 slides each (100 lesson slides).
  • One separate editable unit quiz: 20 slides, including eight questions, discussion responses and reflection.
  • A 45-page Unit Plan PDF: contents, 14 pages of teacher guidance and 30 resource/answer pages.
  • Two colour displays, two case/source-card pages and a three-page cooperative Curator’s Choice game.
  • Ten low-ink worksheet pages, each followed by a red sample-response page (20 pages altogether).
  • Two assessment pages and one evidence-based rubric.
  • A 165-page watermarked Preview PDF and a separate Table of Contents JPG.
  • TPT, Etsy and Website listing text files.

Learning focus

Compare settings and viewing experiences; name artists and works; distinguish source facts from interpretations; explore line, shape, repetition and material effects; choose and refine a safe process; explain an original place idea with evidence.

Classroom use

Whole-class discussion, practical making, partner conversations, cooperative looking games and individual or teacher-supported reflection. Adult-prepared card shapes, washable non-toxic paint, glue, paper scraps, drawing materials and separate art paper are required. Use oral, drawn, written, gestured, picture-selected, device-assisted or scribed responses as appropriate; artistic choices remain the learner’s.

Formats and answers

Ten lesson PPTX files (100 slides) plus one quiz PPTX (20 slides): 120 editable slides altogether.
