Looking for Quick and Low-Mess Sub Plans?
Welcome! My name is Marcia and I am here along with you on this journey of teaching art!
I’ve taught art since 2002 at mostly the elementary level, but also in middle school.
I have taught in both public and private schools. I’ve been a day camp coordinator, written for magazines and spent many years as a waitress.
I started this blog to share my ideas with other teachers. Since starting the blog in 2010, I have enjoyed creating resources to make teaching lessons easier with less prep for you! My goal is to help other art teachers save some time and learn new tips and tricks for teaching art. Like, what are some of the best books to go along with art projects? Or, what are some fun and low-mess art materials to use with kids? How can we connect art to other subjects? Follow along as I create new art resources and share fresh ideas for teaching art.

Save Valuable Time with Print-and-Go Resources
Real art teachers and classroom teachers have left reviews over on TPT saying that the resources were “amazing”, “engaging and easy to plan” and “promoted creativity.” And that’s just in the first handful I checked before posting this! Did you know you can read reviews from other teachers on resources at TPT before you buy? No more wondering if what you are interested in will actually be useful or not! I encourage you to check out my shop and see all of the low-prep and easy-to-use resources such as drawing guides, posters, coloring pages and art sub plans.
