Art education is an essential component of a well-rounded education for children of all ages. Not only does it provide a creative outlet, but it also helps children develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and fine motor skills. However, many children may find art to be boring or intimidating, which can hinder their ability to fully benefit from art education- primarily because the lesson is not based around their interests. That’s why it’s essential to make art fun and accessible to children of all ages.
One effective way to do so is by teaching the elements of art. By understanding and mastering the elements of art, children can become confident and competent artists, express their creativity, and gain a deeper appreciation for the arts. In this blog post, we will explore strategies for making art fun and engaging for kids of all ages through teaching the elements of art.

One of the fundamental building blocks of art education is the elements of art, which include line, shape, form, space, color, value, and texture. By teaching children these elements, teachers can help them develop a deeper understanding of the art they see around them and inspire them to create their own works of art.

Teaching during Distance Learning is going to be oh so challenging for teachers. There is not one model to follow. Some are teaching in class and might be going remote later, or will start remote then will switch to in class. Some teachers are teaching on a cart and remotely. There are full remote learning models and there are hybrid models. All of this adds to confusion and stress because we’re not all in the same boat together and instead it feels like were drifting on a raft in the middle of the ocean and the winds just picked up and the sharks have arrived. At times, it even feels like the raft is just breaking apart. Here are my tips for teaching art during Distance Learning or Remote Learning.
When it comes to Back to School, a little panic sets in because of the unknown. We are unsure if any changes will happen in the school (which this year, there most likely will be), unsure of our schedule, unsure if there will be supplies budget cuts (why do they do this!?), unsure if the staff has changed significantly, unsure who the kids are… These are all unknowns. These are, for the most part, out of your control. We cannot worry about things we can’t control. We are instead, going to place out focus on things we CAN control. If we focus our attention here and get things we can control organized and prepped, it will make our back to school, as well as the year, a lot more stress-free. Isn’t that the goal anyway?
