Engaging Art History Lessons / Perfect for Weather Closures & Remote Learning Days

I originally created my Art History series to use in the classroom. They are high-engagement lessons where I guide students through the presentation, they complete their guided notes, and we discuss each movement together.

But one of the unexpected bonuses?
These lessons also work incredibly well on days when learning suddenly shifts online due to weather, power outages, or other school closures.

Because each unit is structured, visual, and fully digital, students can transition into art history seamlessly during remote learning days, even when their in-class studio projects aren’t possible to complete at home.

What’s Inside Each Lesson

Each movement includes:

  • EdPuzzle warm-up
  • Google Slides presentation
  • Guided notes (print or digital)
  • Teacher's answer key
  • Flashcard-style Memory Builder Quiz
  • A complete 90-minute lesson plan

The consistency across the series makes it easy for students to follow along in class and transition smoothly if learning becomes asynchronous for the day.


Featured Lessons in the Series

Once all movement lessons have been created, I'll put together a discounted bundle for teachers who want the entire set.

Why Teachers Love These Lessons

  • Highly visual and student-centered

  • No extra materials needed / great for 1:1 technology

  • Easy to adapt whether students are in class or learning from home

  • Guided notes keep everyone focused

  • Great for subs, blended learning, and “anytime” art history instruction
