StARTer Units are a P.S. ARTS program that include a 10-week curriculum guide, supplies, and access to online resources for classroom teachers to integrate art into the school day. Each stARTer unit provides teachers with step-by-step instructions, key vocabulary, reflection questions, slides, and resources. The units include photographs that demonstrate activities and highlight the artists whose work inspired the lessons.
StARTer units include:
- Ten grade-banded (K-2 and 3-5th) 50 minute sequential lesson plans
- Lessons are in alignment with CA Visual and Performing Arts Standards (VAPA)
- All necessary supplies, including a downloadable music playlist for Dance.
The stARTer units provide the framework to help students:
- Consider how individuals and cultures are represented in art and the media.
- Experience storytelling through art.
- Recognize the role of artists and creatives in identifying, raising awareness of, and addressing social issues.
