I am SO happy with this purchase! I was feeling stressed with all of my various art classes this year so bought the Surrealist Eye lesson and it took all of my stress away. It is a thorough lesson plan and very adaptable to different levels. My upper-level artists are loving this project. When they did research pages for Dali and Matisse, they were so involved that I’m thinking of doing more artist sketchbook pages in that style. They also came up with some awesome ideas on the brainstorm page and enjoyed sharing them with the class. Normally, I think I would have to have done a lot of changes to adapt a lesson to my teaching style, but this was really a perfect package.

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.
