Hi, I'm Kathleen!
I'm an art teacher and the creator of Ms Artastic and the Artastic Collective. I started the Teaching Art Mastermind because everyone who teaches art deserves a place to ask questions, share ideas and feel supported, without feeling like they're doing it alone.
Come say hi. I can't wait to see what you and your students are creating!
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes! The Teaching Art Mastermind is free to join. You just create a free account so you can log in.
Who is it for?
Anyone who teaches art: art specialists, classroom teachers who teach art, art-on-a-cart teachers, homeschool parents, new or student teachers, and anyone else teaching art to kids.
Do I need to be an Artastic Collective member?
Nope. The Mastermind is its own free community. If you'd like ready-to-teach K–9 lessons too, you can learn about the Artastic Collective library any time.
Can I share student work?
Yes, and we love to see it! Please only share work you have permission to share, and no student faces or names.
