Yes, I Want This!You will be able to...
Run a Seasonal Art Program that's creative, organized, & fun.
Feel ready with the help of monthly supply lists. Each month you'll download a list of basic and specialty supplies. Take an afternoon to gather everything you'll need for four engaging art projects.
Inspire your students with seasonal activities that connect to the changing weather or holidays. Each month comes with a snapshot of major (and playful) holidays, seasonal transitions, and cultural events to tie into your curriculum.
Keep it simple with one easy art lesson to try each week. Many lessons offer room and ideas for extensions into further discovery.
Feel capable and creative with the help of clear photos and instructions that take the guesswork out of teaching art.
