When first published, this article received over eight hundred comments from students looking for direction and assistance with their high school art projects. Some of these comments have been published below. It is hoped that the answers provide valuable insight for others.
If you are looking for art themes to explore in GCSE or iGCSE lessons, the huge list below is a great starting point. Thank you to art teacher Annie Chapman for this amazing list. Some words link to art teaching resources on this website.
Art Theme Project
Hi The Arty Teacher, I am teaching iGCSE Art and Design for the first time. Just wondering as to what you would consider as an ideal number of themes that can be introduced to a class over the course of two years. Is it several or is it a matter of concentrating on one theme only throughout the entire course? Much appreciated, thank you.
Different teachers structure the course in different ways. At my school, we do one theme in Year 10 with two main outcomes. In year 11 they do another theme (we run this a little bit like a mock). Then they do the externally set task from January.
Beginning today (Oct. 27) and continuing through Wednesday (Nov. 2), students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the larger University community are invited to vote for an overall theme for PRT station murals created by students.
Memento Mori, vanitas, mortality. Death is one of the most pervasive themes in art history. While many artworks celebrate afterlives in heaven or hell, death is most often referenced as a grim reminder of numbered days, and a powerful motivator to live well while you can. Every culture has rituals surrounding death, appearing in artwork as icons and colors. Hourglasses and wilted flowers for the Dutch, the Cuckoo bird in Japan, the Totenkopf in Germany.
This mural, though, marks a first for Camden, and yet another bridge: Hopeworks has partnered with Mural Arts Philadelphia, marking the highly-regarded collective's first project across the Delaware River, and bringing together artists from Camden's arts community with artists in Philly.
Bridge building was a recurring theme, not just in the design of the mural but in its very existence, said Manning. Hopeworks will soon open a new training center in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood.
Asked if she envisioned future Mural Arts collaborations in Camden, Golden was confident there would be. She looks forward to Camden's artists working in Philly (some have already attended Mural Arts' most recent quarterly artists' meeting) and Philly arts doing projects in Camden.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
The Public Humanities Projects program supports projects that bring the ideas of the humanities to life for general audiences through public programming. Projects must engage humanities scholarship to analyze significant themes in disciplines such as history, literature, ethics, and art history. Awards support projects that are intended to reach broad and diverse public audiences in non-classroom settings in the United States. Projects should engage with ideas that are accessible to the general public and employ appealing interpretive formats.
Public Humanities Projects supports projects in three categories (Exhibitions, Historic Places, and Humanities Discussions), and at two funding levels (Planning and Implementation). Proposed projects may include complementary components: for example, a museum exhibition might be accompanied by a website or mobile app.
Small and mid-sized organizations are especially encouraged to apply. We likewise welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students in informal educational settings), underserved communities, and veterans.
The 10 youth artists were led by lead artist Bijan Machen and mentored by USC students Daniel Kawah and Keviette Minor. The goal of the art project was to have the youth artists reflect and focus their art pieces on events occurring in their neighborhood and personal experiences, as well as interviewing people of various backgrounds around the USC community to gain a different perspective.
Since 1995 Spiral Workshop has created over 70 theme curricula. Each group intertwines learning in a media such as painting, drawing, Photoshop, sculpture, alternative practices, with investigation of a theme that affects students and their communities.
This event contains adult themes, distressing imagery, extended use of strobe lighting, smoke effects and swearing. The following items are strictly prohibited: knives, spraycans, illegal drugs, and lawyers from the Walt Disney corporation.
Visual artists, writers, filmmakers, and playwrights concentrated many of their creative efforts on the patterns of everyday life, especially the world of work. A recurring theme was the strength and dignity of common men and women, even as they faced difficult circumstances.
Many politically active artists worked for the New Deal projects. United by a desire to use art to promote social change, these artists sympathized with the labor movement and exhibited an affinity for left-wing politics ranging from New Deal liberalism to socialism to communism.
Most New Deal artist-administrators believed deeply that the projects had a responsibility to reach out to as many Americans as possible and to put art to practical use. Such socially useful arts were not intended to create masterpieces, but they did produce many excellent works, allowed thousands of artists to pursue their vocation, and enriched and informed the lives of Americans.

I really loved the art palette lollipops made with white chocolate. They were adorable, all the little girls thought they were the cutest thing and very special, and it perfectly spoke the theme of the party.
The theme for 2022 is inspired by the book, The Day You Begin, by National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson, and two-time Pura Belpré Illustrator Award winner Rafael López. The Day You Begin is a poignant, yet heartening book about finding courage to connect with others, even when you feel scared and alone. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael López's dazzling art reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes-and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway.
Think about all the different activities and experiences you can link to your theme, so that each area of the curriculum is reflected somehow. Be creative! Ask your children for ideas, and include unusual, hands-on activities that will delight your children.
You can deliver your thematic unit in the way that best suits your children and circumstances. Some aspects of the unit may be best delivered to the whole group, some will work better as small group work. Will you devote your whole classroom to the unit, or set aside one project corner? Can you have your whole day given over to the unit, or do you need to allow time for other core areas of your teaching? The thematic unit is completely flexible.
Our Art Camp Unit gives you five process-art projects you can use to run an at-home/ in-class art camp. The Unit comes with printable invitations, stickers and certificates to hand out to all attendees.
This project may help a child or teen reflect on ways to find a safe space or may simply help them feel like they have some control over their environment. It can be conducted one-to-one or in small groups.
The activity involves imagining being lost at sea and visualizing the ideal lighthouse that would provide the right kind of guidance. This is a great activity for both children and adults, but an older group or individual might better appreciate the depth and symbolism of the project.
