Hello Art Encourager! Welcome to the first video of Create Your Dream Art Program video series. My promise is this: I’m

going to help you make your dream of teaching art to kids a reality.

And if you're an experienced teacher, I’ll show you how to inject a big dose of inspiration into your

day.

I’ll illuminate the tasks that are holding us back and preventing us from walking into our art room

with calm and purpose. I know you love kids and art—I do, too. But teaching art can be challenging.

I’ll walk you through my process of deciding what techniques to teach kids at the different grade

levels, what drawing strategies work and how to plan your year with ease so that you’ll have more

time to do the things you love.

Be sure to join the Deep Space Sparkle Facebook group because I’ll be answering your questions,

hosting live chats and having real conversations about what we love most: art!

Patty
