YOUR ART PROGRAM simplified

Lighten the load so you can spend less time planning and more time creating.

Quick question…

Does being an art teacher ever make you feel like the least creative person at your school? When you’re in the zone and guiding your students with confidence, teaching art can feel like the ultimate dream job…

But when reality sets in?
Let’s just say that Art Teacher Overwhelm is a very real thing.

  • Trying to help hundreds of energetic students unleash their “inner artist” each week … but barely managing to stay afloat with back-to-back classes, ever increasing demands and never enough time in the day to prepare.
  • Being unsure of which lessons are perfect for students’ skill levels, how to adapt for declining attention spans and which ones are destined to frustrate your artists.
  • Feeling isolated from your peers and that nobody really “gets” what you do each day (or just how hard you work).
  • Lacking confidence and feeling like an imposter — especially if you don’t have formal art training, tons of experience, or teaching credentials. (And even if you do, you still might wonder whether you’re truly doing “enough” for your students.)

Let’s ditch the overwhelm and trade it for something a little more satisfying this year….

Introducing our Signature Curriculum
ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES OF ART INTEGRATION

The Elements & Principle Integration Curriculum (EPIC) is Deep Space Sparkle’s signature art curriculum. It features a sequential, skill-building framework of art lessons that are designed to teach fundamental art techniques and skills.

Imagine a year that uses the Element and Principles of Art to sequentially build upon your students art skills throughout the year and across grade bands.

Our EPIC Curriculum lays a solid foundation of art for years to come... Through 14 art bundles, teachers walk their students through a year's worth of lessons designed to feature each element and principle of art.

Put simply, you’ll never wonder what to teach next again!

Here’s what our members have created with their students using the EPIC Curriculum:

I’m Patty Palmer,
the founder of Deep Space Sparkle and an art teacher just like you.

After teaching for 13 years in a public elementary school to over 400 kids, I know the realities of teaching art.

When I first got started as a teacher, I was definitely thrown into the deep end.

It was up to me to know which projects to teach, which supplies to use, and which artists to study.

And, like many art teachers, I put a lot of pressure on myself to be the best possible teacher for my students:

  • I wanted to help my students learn about the world through art.
  • I wanted to marvel with them at the artists and movements that shaped our culture.
  • I wanted to help them experiment with a range of techniques, tools and approaches.

And, most of all, I wanted my class to feel inspired and have fun!

Patty Palmer

Here’s what I wish someone had shared with me on my first day as an art teacher:

  • You don’t need to clone yourself if you want to get everything done (let’s leave the experiments to the science teachers) or start each week feeling like there’s always too much on your plate.
  • You don’t have to keep searching and scrolling through Pinterest or Tik-Tok for hours each week to find the perfect lesson plans for each of your classes, cross your fingers and hope it works out (or spend hundreds on supplies each month)
    And…

    You don’t need to be an incredible artist with decades of experience to create standards-infused, technique-rich and culturally significant art with your students.

    You just need the right supplies, the right technique, and the right lesson for the right age group (and a little practical support along the way).

-Patty
