Elementary Arts Instructional Guide (AIG) for the Visual Arts

The Elementary Arts Instructional Guide (AIG) is organized by grade level (Kindergarten through sixth grade) with instructional modules in each grade.  Each module has a 'big idea' that is its title, essential questions that drive the direction of the instruction, and key standards that are addressed in the final assessment.

The instructional guide is the foundation of the elementary arts program, and should be used as a guide and framework for discrete and integrated instruction of the visual arts.
