Achieve Art Teacher excellence in as little as 10 weeks through learning systems and proven strategies so you don't have feel stressed and overwhelmed anymore!

I'M READY TO GET STARTED

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.” -Georgia O'Keeffe

Does this sound familiar?

You know you should be excited to go to work, but unexpected student behavior, structuring art lessons in an engaging way, developing a strong plan for the year that meets curricular standards, and an unforgiving schedule is taking away the joy of being an art teacher.

 

Let’s face it––there’s nothing more frustrating than trying to keep up with all the planning and prep only to feel like just rushing to put out fires as they pop up and feel like you're just keeping up with what had to be done that day without any plan for what I was doing the next day and leaving at the end of the day exhausted and overwhelmed from your unforgiving schedule.

And there’s nothing more disheartening than having NO GUIDANCE for planning your year and creating your scope and sequence and aligning your lessons to the curricular standards––and then add the stress of student behavior, planning, prepping, building community, and classroom management (oh and there is also assessment!). You know that you should be happy and feeling confident with your year planned. Maybe you’ve even tried to get the first few months on paper or use some community builders or build relationships with students.

And yet, it’s not quite working. 

You’re not sure how to structure your art lessons or encourage classroom participation and engagement. You're not sure how to plan your scope and sequence and make sure you meet the curricular standards. You're not sure how to approach classroom management and respond to unexpected student behavior. You're not sure how to energize and motivate your students so that they want to do their best and be proud of the art they make. And You’re not sure how to plan and prep LESS.

Other people make it look easy. But for you, it’s been anything but. You thought that the hard part was going to be getting your Teaching certificate, but as it turns out, that was only just the beginning. Or maybe you're currently in training to become an art teacher and you're not sure where to get started. And now you feel like you must be missing something. And you’re not alone. Most Art Educators are. Well guess what? 

You ARE missing something.

The truth is that having having proven systems and strategies is a game-changer, ones that are designed specifically for Art Teachers, ones that will help you structure lessons, plan your scope and sequence, provide proactive classroom management ideas and strategies for unexpected student behavior, learn to energize students for increased motivation and engagement, understand participation techniques, and develop the understanding of the importance of art education in your school community, so that you can experience increased happiness, confidence, and less frustration and stress.

The problem? Pro-D seminars are usually never designed for art teachers and often there is a lack of support and recognition.

But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right?

GET STARTED NOW

Hi! I'm Kathleen, Ms Artastic!

and I want to help you solve your planning problem for good!

And there was once a time I was so exhausted and overwhelmed that I almost walked away from it all.

Ever since I could remember, I loved Art. Whether it was obsessively drawing cartoons with books or T.V. as a kid or creating with clay in my High School Ceramics classes, I LOVED Art. 

I became both an artist and a teacher. My initial excitement and passion for teaching was depleting with endless searching for resources, planning, and throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it'd stick. My “This is it! This is my moment!” was turning to inward thoughts of failure.

I made a decision. I would change how things were going… from constantly searching, always tired, and the endless rat-race… And be that person with a cohesive art program. I would create Art Lessons that KIDS LOVED. That kids WANTED to make. That ENGAGED THEM. Let them EXPLORE, be CREATIVE, but also that taught them the curricular content. 

I would be the person that creates new Art Resources relevant to the needs of both teachers and students. I want to provide teachers with the easy-to-use art resources they need to plan their year and inspire kids with creative art lessons that THEY wanted to make and that reflected CURRENT times and interests.

So I opened my blog, Ms Artastic, and started developing and sharing art lessons. I started making my ideas and resources available to other educators. From this I was able to get feedback from educators on their needs and wants for Art Educational Resources and Lessons and I took this feedback and developed, honed, and perfected my art lessons over the last 10 years. And now I have assembled my art resources have been assembled into an art curriculum and have created courses and workshops for teachers!

I have transformed my own path from foggy to clear and comprehensive. Now it is YOUR turn for a transformation!

I’M ALREADY SO BUSY. HOW MUCH TIME WILL THIS TAKE? 

This course will be fully available once you enroll. I suggest doing one lesson a week, so that you are not overwhelmed and to work around your already busy teaching schedule, so it could take up to 10 weeks to complete.

 

That being said, because it is fully available, you can work through the course as quickly or as slowly as you’d like.

There you will find any courses and curriculums you have purchased including Art Teacher Academy and the Art Creation Toolkit (your special bonus).

 

HOW WILL I BE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN THIS PROGRAM? 

Success in this program requires that you take consistent, focused action, that you actually show up, and that you take the time to apply what you are learning and complete all your course assignments. 

 

The bottom line is that you can’t expect Art Teacher Academy to magically work for you. You need to do the work. That being said, I am completely dedicated to your success—and that means doing whatever I can to support you along the way.
