Good EM Art lessons web page

Hello everyone, I am thinking of teaching elementary art in my next job, I'm tired of the drama, cell phones, and basic disregard of many older MS and HS students to follow rules/directions. I have taught of 10 years and maybe I need something new to focus on, I student taught ES art in 2001.

I know everyone is on summer break and probably do not even want to think about lesson plans right now, but is there a website that has good art lesson plans for k-5? Or what art skill should be mastered at each grade level?

I also take the grade levels curriculum into account (ex. Kinder is studying farm animals, so we do a cow project that...See More
