Summer Arts Projects
Arts for all ages!
This year we are using lessons from the Institute for Arts Integration and STEAM. If your student is enrolled in summer school, their teacher will give them access to all of the necessary resources and materials.
If your student is not enrolled in summer school, check out these other great resources to add more arts into their summer!
As part of Arts Education Month, The Art Hour put together 31 days of art activities to help encourage creativity. They also offer free, virtual arts classes for k-12 students that can be found here.
Easy Arts for Everyone Videos are from Riverside County Office of Education by their Visual and Performing Arts Administrator, Louisa Higgins. You can also access these videos on their YouTube Channel.
The San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA) Education Department has a wide variety of visual art tutorial videos. Students can share their artwork with the museum by emailing education@sjmusart.org.
