I’m Whitney, a former high school art teacher, art curriculum developer, & visual journal addict.

After many years in a high school art classroom, I decided to become my own boss. I now focus on designing art lessons, resources, & full curriculums for elementary, middle, high school art teachers, homeschool parents, & general art enthusiasts.

I am so glad to still be connected to the world of art education and I love seeing my resources “out in the wild” all over the globe. Keep scrolling to learn more!

Love this reminder by @nikkimiles_! Such important words and beautiful design 😍😍

Another round of playing with image transfers usin

Another round of playing with image transfers using gelli plates! @gelliarts had a beautiful example that used StazOn ink to coat the Gelli plate, I had a Paw Patrol ink pad which refused to dry on the plate. I plan to order a StazOn ink pad and give this another go!
•
Even though the image transfer is really light, I still love how this page turned out. I think the gold leaf was the perfect final touch (I recently grabbed this from @samflax).

Using @gelliarts plates for a quick object study is a really fun twist on a traditional (and sometimes boring) project. I have students do quick one-day studies of food before diving into a month long hyper realistic food oil painting project. It’s a great way to loosen them up at the start.
