Please join me in building a integrated Art lesson with science and history. You will build a plane with wood and a motor circuit. You can then paint your plane by taking inspiration from your favorite artist and paint the plane in that style. Every thing is explained in detail "from building it to buying the product required for the project"

You get to take home a plane and an online story "The Little Aviator" written by Amena Saeed. The story also combines Language arts, Science, history and art.

Teachers will come away with tangible lessons they can implement in their classrooms to begin their students design journey.

The Art Throwdown: Prompt, Sweat + Cheers

rsweitzer — 2025-11-04 01:01:43 UTC

The Art Throwdown is a live head-to-head visual arts competition for students that is presented by ArtConnectED annually. Each artist (or team) faces creative visual challenges as the audience watches the process firsthand, from prompt to ideation to product, and rooting for their favorites. Last year, 234 student participants across Illinois put their artistic skills to the test while competing against other IL HS art students.

These exciting challenges are usually 90 minutes, both in-person and digitally on Zoom. Last year we held our first in-school 3D Cardboard Sculpture Challenge, promoting art to a live audience of students, staff and administrators, all live streamed on YouTube.

Join us to meet the Throwdown Team, find out about this year’s exciting new Throwdown improvements, learn how you can advocate for these creative opportunities, and participate in your own adrenaline-filled experience in a mini-Art Throwdown Challenge! We’d love to have you join the fun!
