Do any of these sound like you?
You’re a committed art educator with heaps of experience but after spending the majority of your year in meetings and writing assessments has left you in need of a big dose of inspiration.
Everyone tells you that you should teach art (and it sounds like a dream!) but where do I start, what supplies do I use and how exactly do I teach a lesson?
You can’t wait to step into your first classroom with a roomful of artists and share all the art techniques you found successful in your career as an artist. But wait, can 7 year-olds use acrylics?
Lean in, my friend…you need to hear this.
Teaching art to children is more complex than placing a few sheets of paper and a tub of crayons on the table.
It involves a solid understanding of materials and age-appropriate skill levels plus the knowledge of the art techniques that meet little artists where they’re at so they're excited to experiment and explore.

"My expectations were super high. And they were exceeded! Sensational workshop..."
Daniel Fromstein, K-8 Art Teacher, Course Participant.
"Teaching art is something I do for fun; I am not formally trained...participating in this course not only provided a plethora of resources for me to have at the ready, but at this crazy, scary, stressful time we have all faced, it has provided me the much needed distraction of simply enjoying getting lost in creating each week at my kitchen table."
Delayna Goins, Art Teacher
"As a first year art teacher who had no formal training in art (I taught grades 3 & 5 for 7 years) this has been a lifesaver! It has given me confidence in exploring the materials in my classroom and in my own abilities to draw and create art."
Karen Graber Roth, First Year Art Teacher
