I personally change the slides every.single.time. I teach it, especially the Analysis and Interpret discussion questions. It really just depends on exactly where we are in our curriculum and the climate of my classes at the time.

I’m a big believer in educators being fairly compensated for their work. That said, I simply don’t have the time or energy to deal with the complexities of selling—like managing sales, customer support, copyright issues, and formatting hassles.
But if you want to support this public school teacher’s side hustle, forgive my website for any ad pop-ups, don’t skip my YouTube ads right away OR….buy me a coffee!
I hope these art history warm-up templates make it easier for you to bring meaningful daily art history warm-ups into your classroom. With Feldman’s method of art criticism as your guide, you can build your students’ critical thinking and appreciation for art in a simple, manageable way. These editable Google Slides for teachers are designed to save you time while giving your students a consistent routine that deepens their understanding of art—one warm-up at a time.
