Montessori Art Certification Online Course
This training meets the national and international core arts standards for children. The Art Teaching Blueprint covers the Elements and Principles of Design, the artistic process, and Spramani Elaun’s proprietary Science Art Method® and her carefully crafted teaching system of sequences.
Nature of Art® Science Art Method uses 3 key components :
- Visual Perception (the visual cortex)
- Cognation (Cognitive Neural Network Model)
- Phases of Art Development (gross – Fine-motor development)
Common Montessori struggles
“Learning how to motivate kids to explore art and understanding how to work with different age groups.”
I learned how to simplify my art lessons, and that sculpting and building adds to the young artists 3-dimensional understanding. I have also learned that the process is just as or more important than the masterpiece. I have implemented reflection times into my classes as well, which helps me observe how they create and learn more about my students.“

Good Day,
I am very interested in your art training courses! However, I would love to know more about the accreditation. I am just nervous to register for a course that won’t be recognised? I recently registered for a Montessori Assistant training course that was three years long and half way to completing the course the institution lost accreditation. It has left me without accreditation to apply for a job. I am actually an interior decorator and a lover of ar but am desiring to change careers to education. So this course would be so useful to me and I am also a Sunday School teacher for a group of children that are in a home of safety. I believe this course would also be beneficial as an aid for the Sunday School lessons?
Look forward to hearing from you and many thanks, Nakita
Hi there, this is a certification by my company Nature of Art®. I’m a child art teaching expert. This certification does not come with accreditation for a college degree. What the course does is provide expert training so you can run art programs for any school or business. If you decide to teach at a Montessori school, you will have all the knowledge to teach art there. It is up to the Montessori school to determine if you need a Montessori teaching certificate to work there, depending on the teaching position you are going for. All my clients simply teach the arts; some Montessori teachers are already certified and add the art certification to their credentials. Currently all Montessori programs lack in visual art training. I’m happy to provide a call giving you more details and answering your questions. email: info@spramani.com

I have a question, what is the purpose of the certification? If you are certified and still can’t train other teacher ? I could just take a few classes or the non certificate course.
The purpose of the certification is to demonstrate that you have acquired art literacy skills and can design art programs for a school or art organization. I guarantee the schools that you have completed the practicum and are now capable of teaching a comprehensive art literacy program for their schools. I’m happy to address any questions you may have via a call. For more information, please email: info@spramani.com
