Elements of Art Posters designed by Bailey

Today I spent the better part of the day creating my own Elements of Art posters. As a newer teacher, I've had some problems finding decent posters and decorations for my art room. I found one batch of posters that retailed for over $75.00 and they weren't all that attractive. I created these Elements of Art posters in a variety of formats depending on what you would like to use them for. They are exciting and really hone in on the key concepts of each element of art. I also wanted to expose students to a variety of different artworks on the posters such as works by Rembrandt, Salvador Dali, Andrew Wyeth, Picasso, Grant Wood, Mondrian, and Van Gogh.

Each poster includes the definition of the element and multiple examples for students to learn by. A .zip file containing 96 total pages of posters is available for sale in my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I offer them in a 24"x30" and 16"x20" block poster size as well as .jpg and .pdf formats for easy printing. Save money and assemble your own posters that will appeal to your students. These posters will appeal to students of all ages and abilities. You can also use the posters as printable handouts for students.

Artist Playing Cards for Games & Classroom Management

I came up with the idea of creating my own artist playing cards a while back and it has definitely been a work in progress. After a few weeks of designing the cards and turning the pages into a .pdf, my hard work is finished! I chose 13 different master artists and their artworks for the deck. I also designed a back logo design so that when the pages are printed, they look like real playing cards. I have thought of numerous ways to use the cards such as playing go fish, memory, sorting students, classroom management, assessment, and more.

All 52 cards and information can be found at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. The entire file costs $5 and you can print as much as you'd like. These cards would make an excellent activity for early finishers or for a last-minute sub activity. I LOVE using them to manage the art classroom while also exposing students to a variety of different artworks. The styles and periods presented in this deck of cards includes: Renaissance, Baroque, Cubism, Impressionism, Pop Art, Abstract, Realism, Fauvism, Modernism, Abstract Expressionism, and Surrealism. As you can see, these cards touch on many facets of art history as well!

    I am a 7th year high school art teacher  in Rochester, MN. I have taught middle school for 2 years and high school for almost 5 years. I truly enjoy working with students on a daily basis. I also enjoy teaching real-world skills such as problem solving, using technology, and the power of teamwork and collaboration. My joy is sharing my passion for art with others!
