I'm Patty Palmer, founder of Deep Space Sparkle and The Sparklers' Club.
I know all too well the frustrations that come with teaching art. At some point in our art teaching careers we all fall into the same project rut: wax resist, marker drawings, a few paper projects and then….boom. We’re bored.
And when we're bored, our students are, too.
The desire to introduce new mediums, techniques and projects may seem like a waste of time. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
That's why I am hosting Art Mixology a one-day workshop dedicated to help art teachers like you snap out of your comfort zone and take a look at fresh ways to use basic art supplies, explore new mediums and jazz up your art program with cool techniques.
This workshop was created out of my own teaching experience and what I realized was this:
Teaching art is an evolving process and rewards those who fill their own creative well.
When you inspire your students with your passion, you quickly build their trust and interest.
This workshop will offer fresh new takes on teaching kids to draw, paint & make creative projects.
Watch as our guest teachers show you how to teach a specific art technique, use mediums in different ways and apply it to projects. You'll have the opportunity to comment during the session and ask questions after the session is over.
Download handouts and worksheets for each session. We'll give you a supply list, technique check-list, drawing guides (if applicable), project suggestions and ideas so you can take action straight away.
Teaching art doesn't have to be a lonely experience. Chat with Patty during our two LIVE Q & A sessions and connect with other #artmixology attendees in our private group.
PLUS, we'll have loads of prizes for attendees!
Can't make it LIVE? No worries. You'll have access to the workshop, resources guides and videos for an entire year!
Our downloadable workbook will be emailed to you before the event so you can get started on gathering up your art supplies, practicing a few techniques and get excited for what's to come.
Need PD Hours? Each attendee receives a PD Hour certificate for 10 PD hours. Please check with your local district to ensure compatibility.
"Thanks Britt Curley for your presentation on the Draw, Paint, Make workshop. You had so many good tips. And I loved your project so much that I did it twice. It is taking me forever to get through the workshop, just on the second presentation. But have gotten so much from those two. Thank goodness we have a year to play with it!"
"Patty, this was another winner from the summer workshop! It took us three one hour sessions to finish. I really saw some amazing results. But, more importantly, the kids had fun, learned a lot, and loved their pieces. I even got a hug today. :) How had I never heard of construction paper crayons?! They are the bomb!What a great project! Thank you!"
"Absolutely loved the workshop Patty Palmer and all of the wonderful artists that gave their time and secrets to share!!"
