I've been teaching art for many years. You are a very sensible and level headed young art teacher. I appreciate the fact you stress the art elements and principles. This is foundational and can help anyone improve their art skills after they have learned these basics. Thank you for being such a good teacher and ambassador for the arts. I really enjoyed hearing your views on teaching.
This was a really good breakdown and I like how you addressed the importance of play for toddlers to preschoolers and then moving into teaching in different levels as the age group is older.
hi from Indonesia. i teach painting to kids on my own for only half a year now. thank you so much for your insights i'm so glad to find this video. i learnt a lot and kind of relieved that i'm moving to the right direction of teaching. especially the step by step part for elementary schoolers bc most of my students are around that age. despite having the skill to draw and paint, but teaching it is another skill to master, especially to kids. Always learning. Thank u again!
Thanks for this video! I'm a designer and illustrator and I'm trying to learn how best to teach those skills to my young kids. Breaking primary objectives by age is really helpful.
Hi! I'm getting ready to teach a summer art camp for kids, when I've previously only really 'taught' as a college TA. This was very helpful for guaging what kinds of lessons and projects would be most helpful as well as how advanced I can get in the subjects without overwhelming them.
I'm working as a long-term art substitute teacher in an elementary school. One question I get regularly is "can I start over; can I get another piece of paper." Do art teachers let students start over if they don't like their drawing, for example, or do they tell the students instead to make the mistake onto a "happy accident?" Thank you.
Great question, I experience the same thing with kids at home. Never know whether to let them have more paper or continue on with the one they have. Plus then they’ll do it over and over and everyone else will want extra paper too
Hey! Art teacher and professional artist here. Normally I rephrase the 'mistake' into an opportunity to try something interesting and offer possible solutions. But if they say no, I just give them the paper. Of course, different teachers have different ways of doing things.
My art teacher Ms.Wolf from Elementary taught how to make a stencil and them create a smear effect with oil pastels. If I was an art teacher I would teach how to paint a tree with Q-tips or common swabs like in Jay Lee Painting videos. I did it with my nephew. Creating a fictional map with symbols is on I did as a kid. For older students I like the idea of teaching composition within a comic panel.
thanks for the inputs. I am an art teacher from the Philippines but teaching art now in Bullhead City Az. I am really having a hard time teaching my junior high students bcoz they always complain..
Wow, thanks a bunch. You've described age groups really well and shared a lot of very helpful and important teaching points. Just what I need. Am in education. Subscribed.:)
I just realised that the the evolution of a person's art skills, is almost the same as the evolution of world art history itself! 1-6: primitive art, 7-10: ancient civilizations art, 11-18: renaissance, traditional art, 16-adult: modern art 🤯
I FINISHED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE ATRS AND MAJORED IN ILLUSTRATION. AS I SEEIT TODAY, CHILDREN COULD USE THE THEIR PERSONAL EXPRESSION THROUGH ART. OFTEN IT IS DIFFICULT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND CREATING ART COULD BE A WONDERFUL TOOL TO DO SO,IN ADDITION TO CREATING AN OBJECT OF BEAUTY. IVE HAD LITTLE EXPERIENCE TEACHING YOUNG PEOPLE AND I AM WONDERING HOW TO BREAK INTO THAT AREA WITHOUT GOING BACK TO COLLEGE FOR A MASTERS. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER TEACHERS THAT ART INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOL DURING THE DIFFICULT COVID TIMES IS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. I HAD THOUGHT THE ARTS WOULD HAVE BEEN CUT WITH THE LACK OF ACADEMIC TEACHERS BEING NEEDED , BUT HAVE HEARD OTHERWISE. ANY ADVICE HOW TO PICK ONES SELF UP FROM A LIFE OF SOLITARY ART EXISTENCE AND BRANCH OUT INTO TEACHING? IT COULD BE GREAT THERAPY FOR THOSE UNABLE TO EXPRESS VERBALLY.
Hi Deborah, this may be unwelcome advice, but no need to use all caps on the computer. This (ALL CAPS) implies that you're yelling. Art Therapy sounds like a good direction for you. Best of luck in your teaching journey!
@@watercolor-girl We know that they are not yelling because there's not an exclamation mark. I even have a habit of writing in all caps because of the art school I went to. No biggie. Blessings 💞
Love your video, thank you for sharing. As a parent of a 5 year old, how can I learn more about which art elements to teach my son for the next phase? Any resources you could recommend?

So glad I found your channel! I am considering teaching art out of my home as I head into retirement from my "real job" lol. Do you teach one on one or in groups? What would you suggest? Thanks again for this video and I have subscribed.
Oh I’m so glad! Yes! Please stick around! I have so much to come for you and others like you who want to teach art. I’ve done all the above! It’s good to start small to nail your curriculum and then grow from there.
Well I've only ever came up with my own projects and wrote my own curriculum and catered it to the class/school/age/grade. Pinterest is a great recourse for project ideas! But some good ones I've used parts of are: Draw.Write.Now & ARTistic Pursuits.
Thank you for the tips! I just started to teach and I honestly don't know what to do. Although can I ask? What medias usually used when in the 1-6 years old? Can I teach like using mixed medias on this age for children? Thanks
I was a bit disappointed with the presentation. I am trying to learn about painting projects for a five year old. The 1-6 age range is too big, in my opinion. I would find more helpful, for example, when children are in the pre scribbling and scribbling phases, when they might understand the difference between ground and Sky, or examples of eye hand competence expectations for an age group, so parents and teachers do not push a child too hard, or give them low expectations. I think that presentations for more specific age groups would be helpful. MONART books by Monda Brooks are good. I just have a friend with a five year old not in school, and having a hard time finding anything on the internet for him. Anyway, others may definitely find your presentation very helpful and we need more presentations for parents and teachers. Thank you.
i am really struggling how to teach my kid how to draw.he's now 9 year old but his ability to draw seems like still a 5 years old kid where he can only draw stick figures even coloring is bad. i'm not sure if it has something to do w/ his autism. he is diagnosed w/ mild autism. is there any tip or suggestion you can suggest for me to be able to teach him effectively in drawing?
Hi! I am an art teacher. I teach K-8. I also teach Emotional Support and students who are on the spectrum. My current students dislike drawing and painting but they enjoy using Crayola Model Magic Clay. I understand you want him to draw but perhaps he is better suited for clay. All of my students love the clay. They make their letters, name, rainbows, small animals and food with the model magic. If you buy the white clay you can take a small piece and color it with Crayola markers. Students knead the clay until the marker color is homogeneous with it. They find it relaxing. I find it awesome because I can teach color theory and students can learn to make sculptures using coils, and slabs. Meanwhile applying color theory. Keep in mind that this clay does harden and feels foam like when dry. It can crack overtime. Coat with Elmer's glue and dry to prolong it's life. Maybe circle back around to drawing at a later date. Make letters with the clay after establishing how cool it is and wonder aloud how cool these letters would be written with markers or crayons on paper. Honestly, It's a 50/50 chance of working. I use this method in the Art classroom with kindergarteners.
Trying to listen to your coments but ypur background music is overwelming your voice. I have adhd so perhaps its just me but thought u might wabt to know

I like your soft voice & the piano music. Your students would listen you!
As an adjunct professor of art I can attest to the fact you’re rocking these lessons. Thank you ladies thank you all!
Hello. I'm a novice art teacher in France and I want to thank you for this delightful and very helpfull video !
I appreciate your music choice while speaking as I am ADHD and was able to focus longer to these lessons, thank you.

Hi, I'm from Indonesia too. I would love to learn from you. I'm new in teaching art, and I still don't know much what to do.
Thanks for this video! I'm a designer and illustrator and I'm trying to learn how best to teach those skills to my young kids. Breaking primary objectives by age is really helpful.
“Have a structure teaching them principles”❤️
This is very and very helpful.

My 7year old told me he wanted me to teach him how to draw I have no idea how to draw or where to begin I learn alot from your videos
Awesome. Thank you. I just got a job teaching Art English at a school (in a Chinese school) focus on using English integrated into Art.
I love this! Hope it goes really well! I taught art at a Chinese Language school for a bit too. Great experience!
That is very helpful. Thank you for posting!

I asked the previous art teacher what she did and she said something like if they're really upset about it she gives them another paper.

Fantastic clear, concise video!! Keep it up 💯

Well I've only ever came up with my own projects and wrote my own curriculum and catered it to the class/school/age/grade. Pinterest is a great recourse for project ideas! But some good ones I've used parts of are: Draw.Write.Now & ARTistic Pursuits.
Thank you so much for your response!
As a home educator, I found this video incredibly helpful!
thank you so much for this totorial , it was really helpful
Thanks a lot! Your video was very helpful !
Homeschooling the kids and they want to draw 😊
So very helpful! Thank you!
Wow that's awesome 👍😎
I would like more detail on the project at the 10:08 mark. Thanks.

as the only male teacher in my school this help alot, i always feel hard to teach toddle
My nephew is 8, and he likes to copy my drawing as you side in the video.
So just let him to copy, and after that we can work harder, right?
Exactly!
Thank you for sharing. But how can i become an art teacher for kid, do i have to have any certificate, and what kind of that? Thank you so much
I Like the music on background. 👍🏻So relaxing …🙏
This is good but there's no link to these 7yr-10yr age bracket art projects with steps you're doing...
Thank you for this video 😍
Thank you for this!
I'm curious, what are all the circled numbers on each art piece you have?
Those are the steps numbered by order. Which line is 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Have tried for days to play this video, but it just will not play for me. All other videos play.
Hey, do you recommend the book for a 7 year old?
You can try. It’s a little young.
I have an idea for my workshop, If I have one.
Start fleshing that out!!
❤❤❤
I'm not an art teacher
It's juts that my niece was begging me to learn her how to draw lol
Perfect place to start!
This was Soo helpful thank you so much!!!!!💕
i proud for your channel, but I utterly recommended that you rather show a lot of technical than speak alot.
Trying to listen to your coments but ypur background music is overwelming your voice. I have adhd so perhaps its just me but thought u might wabt to know
لسبب لا أعرفه انت تهمسين بطريقة غريبة في كلامك
You talk to much get to the point
Your intro is too long, get straight to the point...
Mm? What was that?
I fell asleep on the first half.
