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.

Great podcast, Patty! I love how positive and encouraging you always are. It’s hard to believe anyone would criticize what you’re doing, with all you’ve given away for free! But I guess the haters will always be out there, so just focus on the ones who appreciate you! Your new house sounds lovely…. congrats!!
Cheryl!!! Thank you so much. Oh, I know…the complainers can get to you but I try to see the positive in everything. Hope you’re doing well.

This was a nice podcast. Thank you! I read your page frequently.
Last year I invited some of my neighbors and kids from my kids school, adapted the last floor in my house in Mexico City (I am Mexican) and started an after school art workshop. I wanted to share what I know as an artist (I am a painter and have some experience with textile design and graphic design.
Your work has been very useful and encouraging and the workshop is taking shape every day. Reading your lesson plans had help me to understand how to structure a class for my students.
I look forward to getting better as a teacher and share with others my own ideas end experiences. I have many but I feel I need to test them in class to see if how they work with kids.
Best regards.
