Fully Illustrated, Step-by-Step, Grade-Level Lesson Plans
(We call them Art Bundles)
It's no secret that art teachers love a good art theme. Whether it's literature based, STEAM, based on The Masters or Contemporary Artists, or culturally focused, art themes offer the flexibility of choice while maintaining consistency within your grade bands.
For every month that you’re an active member, you’ll receive access to our newest Art Bundle based on a specific theme, PLUS 2 Art Bundle “credits” that allow you to unlock 2 additional Bundles from our extensive library (over 160+ Bundles and growing).
That means you’ll receive THREE Art Bundles in total every month!
Every lesson plan is aligned with a variety of standards, including I Can Statements, Common Core and NCAS, along with matching assessment sheets for easy grading.
Each Art Bundle includes…
- 9+ lessons for grades K-7
- Slide Decks for lesson introductions and student engagement
- Many bundles include video tutorials on process and technique to watch ahead of time (or even play during class).
- A checklist for art supplies (that won’t break the bank)
- Descriptive, full color art instructions simplified to make teaching art effortless
- Drawing guides and/or templates to help students work independently
- Extra coloring sheets and/or worksheets for early finishers
- Artist biographies and posters
- Student worksheets and answer keys
- Relevant literacy connections and book lists
Our Art Bundles give you everything you need to make teaching easy and effortless, no matter how experienced or artistic you are… and no matter which age group you teach.
“I found it very overwhelming to plan developmentally appropriate lessons for my PreK through 5th grade students without working all day and night.
I was getting burned out quickly, and the Sparklers’ Club was the perfect solution.
I can clearly see what I need to prep, and the lessons are open enough that I can make adjustments and allow for differentiation.
It has really made my workload so much easier, and the students love the lessons.”
- Courtney Prugh, Fort Worth TX
Introducing our 2024-25 School Year Curriculum…
EPIC Art Curriculum
Any teacher who has put together their own curriculum knows how tedious and challenging it can be.
And if you’ve ever struggled to map your lessons to standards and plan your year in advance, EPIC is about to become your new best friend!
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.
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!
Imagine a year that is streamlined, fully planned and lays a solid foundation of art for years to come...
BONUS ALERT! >>> New Members who sign up for our annual plan, receive access to all 14 LESSON BUNDLES inside the EPIC ART CURRICULUM. That's a full year's worth of lessons (112 lessons) straight away.
“I remember not having the resources I needed to teach art effectively. Now planning art is so easy with the EPIC Curriculum. I’m flying through it with more resources than I can probably use in a 55-min class. You have given me back my joy for planning lessons which in turn makes everything else easier in my classroom.
Thank you from all the students that I will impact because you have empowered me. Thank you is not enough!”
- April Bell,
Sparkler since 2022, 700+ art students

“I have been an artist and a teacher for 32 years. But when I began teaching art to elementary students, I realized how different it was. After swimming through Pinterest and Google, I finally found The Sparklers Club, and it turned out to be a life saver.
I wasn’t scared and I didn’t have to worry anymore.
The team shares so much information and ideas that can go straight into the classroom (or used as triggers for your imagination)!”

Here’s a deeper look at what’s inside the membership:
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!
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).
