From Andrea:
I’ve been a professional artist and art educator for more than 25 years and an art curriculum developer for 20 years. I’ve written several books about art for kids and I also write about parenting, creativity and homeschooling for CBC, YMC, WDish, Today’s Parent, Creatubbles, the Association of Curriculum Development and Little Passports.
I’ve taught art and art history classes and workshops at the elementary, secondary and post-secondary levels. I’ve worked as an educational consultant on various art education projects and together my mom Jantje (an artist and arts advocate with 40 years of experience working with children of all ages including those with special needs) and I created KinderArt® in more than 20 years ago. Since then, the site has been visited more than 100 million times in the last ten years alone and been featured on and in CTV News, USA Today, Highlights for Children, Disney’s Family Fun Magazine, CBC, Homeschool.com and more.
My passion lies in helping teachers and parents bring out the creativity in their children, even if they don’t consider themselves artists. My detailed child-tested lesson plans are easy to implement, and are guaranteed to promote creative exploration in small or large group settings. Most of all, the lessons are effective and they encourage individuality.
My method of teaching focuses on individual creative exploration. So with that in mind, each pack or bundle contains several lesson plans designed to be adaptable, meaning you can use them for a wide range of ages. In this way, you can cover the same skills and techniques with all of your students while giving them the freedom to learn at their own level.
So, instead of prepping for a multitude of lessons for all of your classes, you only need to prep for one!
We have helped thousands of adults teach art to kids and we know we can help you too!
