Today on AME, I starting a brand new series: The Draw, Paint, Sparkle Book Chat, where I read sections of my book and give you extra insight to how my teaching philosophy has worked throughout the years and how it can help you create art with your kids.
Today’s episode talks all about Directed Drawing. While directed drawing, or guided drawings, are a gateway of possibilities for a child, sometimes a child or a parent is resistant to the idea.
I share my experiences working with directed drawings at home, help you navigate the often murky waters of creating art with your child and tips to avoid conflicts or frustration.
Draw, paint, Sparkle Creative Projects from an Elementary Art Teacher is written by Patty Palmer and published by Roost books. You can buy the book from Amazon, Barns and Noble and wherever good books are sold.
After you buy the book, head over to Draw Paint Sparkle to download your book bonuses: 27 Drawing Guides that you can download, print and use with your kids.
And while you’re there, why not write a review on Amazon? This helps the distribution of the book so more parents can create art with kids.
To listen to the rest of my Book Chat Series, click to listen to How to Host Art Sessions in Your Home and Why I Don’t Use Pencils in the Art Room
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
– What is directed drawing
– How to foster more art at home for 5-10 year olds
– What to do when you face resistance from the children
– How everyone can be an artist
– How to build confidence with a directed drawing

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.

Patty – I loved today’s episode! I have the book and it has already been loved on – complete with my own paint splatters. I was thrilled to learn about the new website and bonuses. My child asked for me to pick a lesson to “teach” for her sleep over Friday night. Thanks so much for helping me make memories with my girl!
Aww…that’s so sweet! And to se my book with paints splatters is an absolute dream fulfilled 🙂
Love your book. Thank you for taking time to create it.
looking for a directive I seen about kids standing on the paper and trace their feet then their hands and then have to do the rest of the body and face . Could you send that to me
EXCELENTE
Wonderful website!
Hi, I just bought the book but the link for the bonuses appears to no longer work. Is there another way to access these? thank you
Hi Jennifer! We hope you are enjoying the book. Please send me an email at support@deepspacesparkle.com. I’d be happy to help you with those bonuses via email.
Thanks for the book suggestions. I really like a book I can read when I’m away from the computer. Do you use aprons for chalk pastels, or do you avoid chalk pastels? I have aprons in my classroom, but I don’t think my 5th graders are mature enough to use acrylics.
