Teaching art at home to a few children is quite different than teaching 30 children in a classroom. It means you have more flexibility and freedom to create art when and how you want.
I’ve taught in classrooms, art rooms and around my dining room table and love the nuances that each setting brings.
This podcasts shares some of my best tips for teaching art at home. Make sure to download the Art at Home Toolkit and follow along!
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- How you don’t need to know everything about art when embarking on creating art with your kids, you just need an interest.
- Why you need to establish your own intentions and expectations before teaching children
- How the use of descriptive words will enrich children’s vocabularies
- Why developing a teacher’s mindset and establishing a routine can help so much when managing your child’s behavior
- Creating a schedule can lead to increased focus and creativity in your children
- What’s the most important thing that you can give your child to develop their art skills

My best advice for teaching art to kids.
Yes, the day has come!
After a long time deciding if, I finally said when.
Thank you SO much for your encouragement, show suggestions and help getting Art Made Easy off the ground.
Many of you were so pumped about this show but confessed that you had no idea what a podcast was. I love you guys for your unbridled enthusiasm.
Here’s a quick definition of a podcast & what to expect from Art Made Easy:
A podcast is a free radio show. The host (me!) interviews guests or talks about a favorite subject. You get to listen through your computer, laptop or smart phone. I like to listen to my favorite podcasts in my car during long travel days or on my walks via set of ear buds and my iPhone.
You can subscribe to the show via iTunes and Stitcher radio. The benefit is that your free podcast ap on your iPhone will automatically be updated with all the podcast episodes from any show you subscribe to.
Go ahead and give it a try!

And now onto the show…
For my first show, I wanted to tell you my story of how I became an art teacher. We all have different paths and this one is mine. I’ll share advice to those who are just starting out as an art teacher and some of my best tips for teaching art to kids.
This episode is for anyone who thinks they may not have the qualifications to be an art teacher. Teaching art to kids doesn’t have to happen inside a classroom. You can teach art at home, at a summer camp and even as a volunteer (like I did).
If you are an art teacher just beginning your journey, I’m sharing my best advice to get you through that tough first year. Download my free handout and keep it in your teacher planner and refer to it when you have a tough day.
