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.

A couple of years ago, I kept seeing that one of my repins was really popular… it was a guy demonstrating pastels with his kid trying them out right beside him. No wonder it was popular… it was great! That’s how I found out about Rob, and I kept following him. He’s a good teacher I his kids make the videos fun. They are too cute.
Thanks for the generous download!
So funny. Yes, I agree. Rob is fantastic. Just love his energy!
love your podcast!
today (April 30th) I went to download Rob’s Printable Drawing Collection and it did not work .
Hi Anna,
As long as the link got yo Rob’s site, then that’s all I can help you with. I’m sure if you request support form Rob’s website, he’ll be abler to help you. Oftentimes it’s just a matter of entering the correct email, etc. Thank you so much for listening to the show!
I have been waiting all day for a new podcast. Even checked online to see if you were on vacation. Then about 4 this afternoon I realized it was Tuesday. Looking forward to listening tomorrow!
Rob has been a huge part of my success in my small classroom. My kids love him and his family! We are also learning from expert Mark Kistler about cartooning. These two are masters. I don’t know where I’d be without them. And for adults serious about art, The Virtual Instructor is also great!
I’ve been using him for 5 years! (Since kindergarten)
