What teachers are saying:
“My students do not get art class this year and Doodles Academy makes it possible for me to bring art to my students in our contained class. This is invaluable. 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. With the art work, videos, ideas, instructions, materials, and CCSS, this is a complete package that makes arts education possible for my students. THANK YOU!!”
Emma Howland-Bolton, 5th grade, Detroit, MI
“The lessons were super easy to use and make my own. There was enough structure and support in the plans that I felt like I had a clear plan, but also plenty of room for me to adjust as necessary based on my particular students and needs.”
Phoebe Quin, 4th grade, Excel Charter School
“Your curriculum is very helpful in engaging students to connect their art to other aspects of school…writing, reading, etc. I have seen the creativity in my students come out in their writing after we have completed an art lesson.”
Angela Motter, Classroom teacher, Reno, NV
