CLASSROOM TEACHERS GUIDE FOR TEACHING ART
You may wonder how you can teach art to your students if you don’t consider yourself an artist. Here’s the thing…I don’t believe you need to be a great artist to teach art to kids. You just need a little bit of help.
This episode of Art Made Easy offers you the tips and tricks (and the toolkit) to help classroom teachers teach art effectively when you don’t have an art room, lots of ideas or supplies.
Be sure sure to download the Classroom Teachers Guide Toolkit through the blog for links, tips and checklists.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
• Why templates and directed drawings can be beneficial for getting started on your classroom art lessons
• How you can organize your supplies for easy access and alternatives to a chalkboard that you can use as dedicated art spaces
• Why I recommend liquid water colors for every grade level if you’re a classroom teacher
• What big misconception exists about using chalk and ways you can start using it in your art room
• Ways to create the right environment for your students to create their art

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!
To listen on your laptop or computer, just click the play button in the colored box below.
To listen via iTunes, click on the “play in iTunes” banner and click subscribe.
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.

Hi Parry, I follow you for many years and enjoy your blog, podcasts and videos, I teach gifted kids and grown ups. I love teaching art. When I see your picture I think if it is possible that I met you many years ago at Mona Brooks class in Santa Monica?? we used to live there. Now I am in Israel.
Another funny question that I have, how much it cost per month???
thanks for your time, Estee.
Hi Estee,
I would have loved to have met you but I was never at Mona’s class. I think we love the same thing! The Sparklers Club opens up on January 3rd. We have different membership levels starting at $25 a month. Make sure to sign up for the free video series and then our Q & A masterclass. https://deepspacesparkle.lpages.co/create-your-dream-art-program-video-series-l6/
I just want ideas to use in an art job I have as a long term substitute.
Hi Patty, I am interested in knowing if the Black History package you showed during the membership drive can be purchased seperately? I want to offer a mobile program using the Arts, Culinary and Hands on visuals for the inner city schools here in Atlanta. The children want to go beyond slavery…..at their request!?
Hi Donna! I love what you are doing. How exciting! Unfortunately, our art bundles are only available through the membership. Selling individual lesson plans is something we used to do, but with the massive amount of content we have now, this makes for a very cumbersome shop experience if we sell individually. Wishing you the most creative success with your business!

Hi Sharmistha! Here’s a post & video on how I teach guided drawings: https://www.deepspacesparkle.com/how-i-teach-directed-line-drawings/ Then, dive into any of the lessons on this site as most start with drawing techniques. You can learn a lot by reading through the lessons…so much to explore! Have fun
