We Offer a Unique Art Curriculum.
Our comprehensive collection of projects are designed to build skills through unique and individual art projects rather than step-by-step tutorials. Too much art education revolves around projects that focus on product and not on process, erasing student individuality. Our curriculum is designed to allow students to tell their own stories and to create highly individual art projects.

Designed to be Taught by Anyone.
Each project includes video demonstrations and thorough lesson plans that teachers can make their own, meaning our projects can be run by teachers who have never picked up a paintbrush as well as experienced art teachers who want to focus on their students rather than planning
“Students knew they had the latitude to add their own personal touches. This led to each piece feeling unique and individualistic.
“My students love art and are very artistic, but I am not an artist or art teacher and I would be totally lost trying to teach art on my own.“
“The videos taught so much! […] All kids were proud of their finished product.”
That Builds Skills Inside AND Outside the Art-room.
We deepen engagement and build knowledge around classroom subjects by aligning our content with commonly used themes and subjects. We do this to support art teachers in aligning their content to the core content taught at their school, as well as classroom teachers who are bringing art to students in their contained classroom. Opportunities for critical thinking, group discussion, and student presentations are built into every lesson.
