The American Folk Art unit includes a lesson on "allegory" paintings, a folk art tradition of the 1700's and 1800, as well as a patriotic early American painting of George Washington to color.

All KidsArt art teaching units bring you 16 reproducible pages of hands-on art activities. The projects are simple, innovative and easy to use in home or classroom settings. Because the activities are open-ended, teaching the process rather than a specific product or end result, they can be used with many different ages and stages of development, from preschool through middle school.
