FAQ - Artastic Collective Art Curriculum

IS THIS ART CURRICULUM RIGHT FOR ME? 

The short answer? If you’re trying to plan a year of teaching art to kids, then YES. The longer answer is this: the Artastic Collective Art Curriculum is for anyone who is in the position of teaching art to kids and wants to plan their year, still retain their evenings and weekends, not feel stressed with the lack of planning or prep time given to you (because I will show you how to plan more by prepping LESS!) and those who want a comprehensive, fully planned art curriculum with a program to show them how to tackle the year that will ultimately allow them to be a calmer, happier, stress-free teacher. Teaching is A LOT and a lot of things are not in your control, but planning and prepping is one of those things that is so I can remove a lot of stress from your life by helping you with that.

 

It’s for anyone who has been scared to invest in a curriculum but has always wanted one. The Artastic Collective Art Curriculum is designed to take the mystery out of planning the year. And so, whether you’re an art teacher needing a full art curriculum aligned to standards with a step-by-step guide for planning your year, or a studio instructor needing art lesson ideas, or even a homeschool parent or classroom teacher, the Artastic Collective Art Curriculum will provide the detailed instruction, support, and resources to help you teach art to kids. 

 

ARE THERE ANY PREREQUISITES FOR THE COURSE? 

Before enrolling in the Artastic Collective Art Curriculum you should already be someone who teaches art lessons to kids or an art teacher OR a teacher student in training to become one.

 

WHEN DOES THE ART CURRICULUM AND PROGRAM BEGIN? 

It begins as soon as you enroll! 

 

WHAT IS THE LESSON SCHEDULE? 

The Classroom- my program that guides you through your year and helps you build your confidence and resolve, is fully available from the moment you join. I recommend starting there right away. It is a work at your own pace program, but the students who work through it the fastest see results the quickest.

 

The art lessons and resources in the curriculum are released in large sets or bundles to the different sections each month to follow the natural progression, holidays, and seasons through the year. This is why I only open in August and January of each year- it allows the program to guide you through planning your year and providing you with resources when you need them. Resources are added monthly for 2 full years (as long as you retain your membership) to allow you to develop an A & B year program so there is no overlap for students as they move up in grades.

 

As an added bonus, enjoy a new Annual Grand Bonus Bundle added every August to the membership to ensure your curriculum meets current trends and needs in education. You will also get access to all the previous Annual Grand Bundles.

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT? IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN? 

The Artastic Collective Art Curriculum will be offered at a special rate of just $35.99/month (billed each month), which is a fraction of the value it would cost to purchase these resources individually online. You may choose to pay annually instead at a price of $430.99 (billed each year) which might be better if you can get reimbursed by your school or if they are paying on your behalf. Because I am not a bank and a small business, I don’t have the ability to offer more flexible payment options or purchase orders. I encourage you to check out other options for financing or secure funding through a low-interest credit card. 

 

As well, it is important to know that I will not raise the price you register for on you. Unlike other subscription services that raise prices here and there, I do NOT believe in that and as a consumer myself, nothing irritates me more or makes me want to cancel my subscription faster. As well, as someone who was a teacher, I know that you have a limited budget. I am here to make your life easier, not more challenging. So know that whatever price you enroll in (monthly or annually), that subscription price will be locked in FOREVER.

 

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

The Classroom is a work at your own pace program so you can work though my guide to planning your year whenever it works for you the best. That being said, those who work through it the quickest will see results the fastest.

 

For the curriculum, this is actually your time saver! Instead of doing the planning yourself, creating examples, making worksheets and handouts, developing videos or presentations, resources, community builders, or assessment yourself… Consider it already done when you enroll. Enjoy the lessons already in the membership, then watch each month as news are lessons and resources are added. 


So really, with this membership, you are GAINING your life and time back. Pretty cool right?

 

WHAT IF I WANT MORE SUPPORT OR MOTIVATION ALONG THE WAY? 

The Classroom is my 3 phase proven process and program that will guide you through planning your entire year.

 

But don’t worry if you need more support! The cool thing about this program is that with your subscription, you gain direct access to ME. YUP! As well, you get to talk to the other members of the Art Curriculum in the EXCLUSIVE Community forum.

 

And if you need more support? You get the privilege of emailing me any time with any problem you might encounter. I am the only employee so know that any of your emails go directly to me and that I will be the one to personally respond and help you with whatever challenge arises (or if you just need an ear to listen) in your year. This is one of the benefits exclusive to members!

 

HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY MATERIALS? 

The program and art curriculum and community forum are all found on my platform and website, Artastic Collective at www.artasticcollective.com. Once you enroll and become a member, you will be able to log into the membership and find your art library sections in “My Library”. Click one of the sections to find art lessons. You can download the PDFs in the Downloads section on the lesson. Any videos in curriculum are hosted on my platform and can be watched directly on the lesson.

 

New monthly art lesson drops are automatically added every 30 days for 2 years. I will manually add annual grand bonuses every August.

 

This does not give you access to my TPT store. TeachersPayTeachers is its own platform and business that I have a store on and gives teachers the option to purchase my art lessons and resources individually. To access the lessons and resources that are part of the curriculum, you need to log in at www.artasticcollective.com, which is my own platform and business.

 

WHAT GRADES IS THIS ART CURRICULUM FOR?

The curriculum will provide art lessons for Kindergarten to Grade 9.

 

WHAT SECTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ART CURRICULUM LIBRARY?

You will be receiving the following sections with your subscription:

  • Artists & Art History
  • Themes
  • Elements & Principles
  • Holidays & Seasonal
  • Sketchbooks
  • Ceramics & Sculpture
  • Community, Members-Only Forum & Live Q+As
  • The Classroom, Year-Long Art Teacher Growth Course
  • Journey of Success, Monthly Art Teacher Challenges
  • Professional Development, Webinar Replays & Art Teacher Interviews

 

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY? 

As this is a subscription (either monthly or yearly depending on what you choose), there are no refunds as you gain a lot of access to resources the moment you join, way more than the value of 1 month. I am offering my resources in this membership at an extreme discount so that I can make art lessons affordable for art educators.

 

That being said, you can cancel your own membership anytime in your account settings by clicking your avatar in the top right corner and it won’t renew the following month/year. Do know that if you cancel your membership, you will lose access to your resource library and membership and you won’t be able to re-join till the next enrollment.



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 the Classroom Program or the Art Curriculum to magically work for you. You need to do the work or even log in and use the lessons in your classroom. That being said, I am completely dedicated to your success—and that means doing whatever I can to support you along the way. 

 

If you still don’t find what you’re looking for, shoot me an email—I am happy to help you find the answers. And regardless of where YOU are at right now in the art teaching process, or regardless of whether you have already tried and failed to successfully get ahead in planning your year on your own, the Artastic Collective Art Curriculum can help.

 

I AM TEACHING REMOTELY. CAN I USE THIS CURRICULUM?

While the files are all digital, they're designed for a teacher to instruct them. You can always film yourself demonstrating or teaching the lessons, but the majority of these lessons are designed for in class teaching. That being said, there ARE some introductory & themed art lessons that ARE designed for Distance or Remote learning and can be used with a Google Classroom and allow for student independent learning. It is a nice option to have and they're also great for unexpected closures or art teacher sub tubs. However, this art resource library has been designed as art lessons for art teachers teaching in person.

One important thing to know is that you can not use this on Outschool or anything similar as it means you’d be profiting off my work and ideas.

 

WHAT FORMAT ARE THE ART LESSONS AND RESOURCES?

I create high quality, complete art resources. All my resources are either in PDF or Video format (with the exception of my Digital & Print resources that can be offered to students on Google Slides in addition to the PDF). When you are a member, you can expect to see the art lessons as downloadable PDFs. When you open them, you can expect a Lesson Plan, assessment, student handouts such as a step-by-step guide, and a full Visual & Steps tutorial for you to use or to show to students to help create the art project. I show ALL the steps with my resources either as step-by-steps in the PDF or as a video! Once you've downloaded the lesson, you can print off what you want, or project the resource in your classroom and scroll through the steps or show the video to your students (or do the demonstration yourself! This allows for flexible options).
