Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.

A Global Community

I love sharing my experiences just as I love listening to other teachers’ ideas. I create new resources every week and continually ask myself what would make The Arty Teacher website better for art teachers.

Achievements

I have been part of a team that achieved Specialist Art School status. I have been a guest lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, talking to their trainee teachers on the use of iPads and eBooks in the Art Room.

I’m also a member of the National Society for Education in Art and Design (NSEAD), which protects and promotes art, craft and design education as well as championing and representing the professional interests of those engaged in it.

I am also an artist and try to create time to pursue my own interest in drawing, printing, book binding and collage. I have exhibited regionally and was lucky enough to have a book I bound and exhibited in my Master of Art graduating exhibition bought by The Tate library.

Support from Leading Artists

Creating The Arty Teacher website has allowed me to work with high profile artists such as Cristina Troufa, Sarah Graham and Cas Holmes. These established artists have been willing to help art teachers by sharing their work in the form of downloadable presentations to be used in the art classroom.

This has been hugely exciting for me personally and great for The Arty Teacher community, as art teachers everywhere can access up-to-date presentations on exciting artists.

“Being a one-person department, it is a vital source of support and as a tiny proportion of my art budget is money well spent and extremely good value.”
