Overview
High School Art Curriculum Map
A curriculum map in high school art is a structured overview of what students are expected to learn, create, and demonstrate across an art program over a semester or full year. It outlines the sequence of courses, units, lessons, skills, and assessments while aligning with state or national art standards. Essentially, it’s a roadmap that connects learning goals, instructional strategies, and outcomes to ensure consistent, meaningful art education.

Elements of Art & Principles of Design
Foundational Concepts
The elements of art are the basic building blocks artists use to create artwork: line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. The principles of design are the ways those elements are arranged to make art effective and visually interesting, including balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, unity, and proportion. Together, the elements are the tools, and the principles are the guidelines for using those tools to organize a composition.
