Here is a document which will hopefully simplify your planning and teaching of visual arts.
• An exhaustive check list where you can write the names of the projects you work
on and keep track of the visual language being taught.
• A summary of all my projects. It presents the level, the visual language, the
technique and the materials for each project.
• Depending on the region or the country, teaching of visual language may vary from
a level to another. This is why I included a blank list (also a word document). You
will be able to add any modification you wish to it.
