The Ultimate Art Resource Library for Teachers & Homeschoolers
Discover the Artastic Collective, a growing K–9 art resource library for teachers & homeschoolers. Get lessons, plans, and support — enrollment is limited!
Introduction
It’s Sunday night. You’ve poured your second cup of coffee, your lesson book is open on the desk, and your search history is a mile long: “quick art project ideas,” “easy art lessons for kids,” “art curriculum pacing guide.”
You scroll through Pinterest boards, dig through Facebook teacher groups, and maybe even pull a half-forgotten project from last year. But deep down, you know you’re patching things together. There’s no big picture. No flow. Just stress.
You want to give your students meaningful art lessons — ones that teach skills, connect to artists, and inspire creativity — but instead, you’re drowning in prep. Evenings and weekends slip away while you cut paper, gather supplies, or second-guess whether you’re actually hitting the curriculum standards.
This is exactly why I created the Artastic Collective — a growing art resource library for K–9 that gives art teachers, classroom teachers, and homeschool families everything they need in one place. Lessons, pacing, planning tools, professional development, and community — all designed to help you teach art with confidence and joy.

The Problem Teachers & Homeschoolers Face
If you’re an educator, you already know this feeling: you’re expected to deliver engaging, curriculum-aligned art lessons… but no one handed you a roadmap.
For art teachers, that often means juggling multiple grade levels at once, trying to decide when to teach the Elements of Art, how to scaffold skills, or how to manage supplies when you’re rolling a cart from classroom to classroom. For classroom teachers, it’s squeezing art between math and literacy, often without the training, time, or resources to make it meaningful. And for homeschool parents, it’s the weight of wondering, “Am I doing this right? Is this enough?”
The truth is, art prep can swallow up your evenings and weekends. You might spend hours scrolling Pinterest or Facebook groups, hoping to stumble across something that “fits.” But when Monday morning comes, it’s back to panic mode — scrambling to print, prep, or cobble together a project.
And let’s be real: even when you find a cute idea, does it really teach the skills your students need? Does it build toward a bigger picture? Or is it just another one-off that fills time but leaves you feeling behind?
👉 This is exactly why I created the Artastic Collective — to take away the scramble and give you a growing art resource library that covers grades K–9, provides ready-to-use lessons, and supports you with pacing, planning, and even classroom management strategies.
What Makes the Artastic Collective Different
There are plenty of places online to grab a one-off art lesson. Pinterest boards, free worksheets, teacher Facebook groups… they’re full of ideas. But here’s the problem: none of them give you a clear, comprehensive path forward.
That’s where the Artastic Collective stands apart.
The Collective isn’t just a set of projects. It’s a growing art resource library for K–9 that gives you everything you need to plan and teach art with confidence. Unlike static downloads or disconnected ideas, this membership is alive — with new lessons and bundles added every single month.
Here’s what makes it truly special:
- Structured growth: Bundles are added monthly to key sections — Themes, Elements & Principles, and Artists & Art History — so your library keeps expanding.
- A & B Year Variety: Over two years, you’ll naturally build a rotating plan, ensuring your students experience fresh projects without overlap.
- Depth + Breadth: From the fundamentals of the Elements of Art to deep dives into art history and global themes, you’ll always have lessons that fit your students’ needs.
- More than lessons: The Collective also provides planning tools, pacing guidance, and a full Professional Development course to help you teach with confidence.
And this year, when you join, you’ll also unlock the exclusive annual Grand Bundle: Perfect Principles — a complete set of art lessons exploring the Principles of Design. This bonus bundle is only available during this enrollment period, and it’s designed to help you give your students a strong foundation that connects across every art project they’ll ever make.
The Collective is different because it’s not just a library — it’s a living support system for teachers and homeschool families who want to stop scrambling and start teaching art with joy.

Why Teachers & Homeschoolers Love It
The Artastic Collective isn’t just theory — it’s transforming classrooms, homeschool tables, and art rooms around the world. Here’s what members are saying:
👨🏫 Daniel, Classroom Teacher
Daniel loved teaching math and reading, but when it came to art? He always felt guilty. Most weeks, he grabbed a coloring sheet or pulled something from Pinterest. He knew it wasn’t enough — his students deserved better, but he didn’t have the time, training, or energy to reinvent art lessons on top of everything else.
When Daniel joined the Artastic Collective, he started with the Holiday & Seasonal lessons. Suddenly, his students lit up. They were excited about art — and he felt confident teaching it for the first time.
Daniel says:
“I used to dread teaching art. Now it’s one of my favorite parts of the week. The Collective gave me everything I needed, and my kids are thriving.”

👩👧 Leah, Homeschool Parent
Leah wanted her kids to have a rich, well-rounded art education, but every time she sat down to plan, she felt lost. She worried: “Am I teaching the right skills? Am I covering enough? Will my kids miss out?”
Inside the Artastic Collective, Leah found exactly what she needed: structure and variety. The Elements & Principles lessons gave her a roadmap, the Artist & Art History bundles helped her kids connect with diverse voices, and the Directed Drawing videos gave her quick wins on busy days.
Leah says:
“This membership gave me peace of mind. I know my kids are learning real art skills, and I don’t have to scramble anymore. It’s like having an art teacher in our home.”

⏰ Limited Enrollment — Doors Close Friday, September 26th
Here’s the thing: the Artastic Collective isn’t open all the time. Enrollment only happens during select windows each year — and once the doors close, that’s it. You’ll have to wait months before another chance comes around.
Right now, when you join before Friday, September 26th, you’ll unlock instant access to the entire art resource library plus this year’s exclusive Grand Bundle: Perfect Principles. This bundle is a complete set of lessons exploring the Principles of Design — only available if you join during this enrollment period.
That means:
- No more “I’ll figure it out later” — because later, the doors will be closed.
- No more scrambling on Sunday nights — because you’ll finally have the lessons and planning tools you need.
- No more guilt about art falling to the bottom of the list — because you’ll be equipped to give your students the creative education they deserve.
✨ Imagine walking into your classroom or homeschool space next week already knowing: “I’ve got this.”
But don’t wait. Enrollment closes Friday, September 26th — and once the doors shut, the bonus bundle disappears with it.

Most importantly, you’ll finally be able to breathe. You’ll walk into your classroom or homeschool space knowing: “I’ve got this.”
