Daedal Doodle Teaching Curriculum

Based on his NEA-funded teaching experience, Victor has worked with arts educator Kathy Odorizzi, formerly of the Allentown Art Museum, to develop a Daedal Doodle teaching curriculum. Separate lesson plans are available for grades 6-8 and grades 9-12. See the links below to download the lesson plans.

The curriculum accompanies Victor’s award-winning book, Daedal Doodle, available here.
