You know visual art education is valuable, however you might not know where to even start—Traditional Montessori certification does not offer how to learn to create art curriculum or how children really learn visual arts.  

• Do you dream of having organized art lessons throughout the school year?

• Do you want art projects to support your most important Great Lessons, or Cosmic Education?

• Do you want your students to have work that leads to innovative thinking and independance?

• No prior art knowlege is required to get trained!

• Do you want to do all this without any stress??

Here are common struggles Montessori teachers had before taking the Art Teaching Blueprint:

“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.“
