New Book Alert: My Art Teacherin' Coloring Book IS HERE!

NEW BOOK ALERT!

I'm SO excited to share my new book: The Art Teacherin' Coloring (And Activity!) Book! 

I never realized just how much I loved drawing and doodling until I wrote my book Art Teacherin' 101. That book is sprinkled with drawings that helped me share my ideas about teaching art with you in a way that felt natural to me. 

I have also created numerous doodle banners for my students to color and paint in and you can check them out here.

I even created doodle rolls for YOUR students to color and paint on and you can buy them here (they are a steal for four HUGE banners!).

So when someone suggested I create a coloring book for art teachers...I thought it was such a great idea!

I printed the book on 70 lbs paper which means you can use markers, color pencils, crayons...and I've even been using my watercolor pencils! 

Some of the pages can be used to color and hang in your art room as either decor or...not so gentle reminders that the art room is not a supply closet (ahem...see below!)...

While other pages are meant for you to jot down funny things the kids say, ways for you to reconnect with your creativity, gratitude doodles and even jotting down your favorite art teacherin' songs. 

I wanted this book to be like a warm hug from a fellow art teacherin' friend. I do hope you love it as much as I did creating it!

For the record, I do think you are much more than OKAY...but this is your reminder that okay is fine too! I know I struggled a lot with having the perfect art room or amazing lessons...it's fine to let that go. Your creativity and rest is just as important! So...it's okay to be okay!

Ahem...said reminder!

Thanks for letting me share, friends! Have a happy summer!

Art Supply Order Must-Haves for the New Art Teacherin' School Year!

Hello, friends! 

Well, it's that time of year...as soon as we are on the other side of the fourth of July, it starts to happen: the stores start stocking their shelves with back-to-school items, your school email inbox starts to come alive again and that "oh crap, what am I going to teach this year?!" sensation just won't go away. 

If it's one thing that I ALWAYS dreaded...it was that Back to School Art Supply Order! Every year, I procrastinated and every year...I learned to regret it. 

BUT NOT THIS YEAR! Just for you and your amazing artist I created a MASSIVE Back to School Art Supply order video. It's a long one so grab a snack and c'mon back...and don't worry, I've got Amazon links and a printable PDF for you too:

For a printable PDF with links, my friends at Prang (who I do work with, full disclosure) created one here!

AND for my full Amazon list, you can go here!

By the way...if you feel like you need a read to get you back into the mindset of all things art teacherin', might I recommend my book Art Teacherin' 101?!

I know I've chatted about it just a little over on social media...but I've not officially announced it here so...I wrote a coloring book for art teachers! MORE details to come (I'm so excited!) but for now, you can check it out here. I sign all books before shipping them your way!

Okay...now, time to go supply shopping! Have fun, y'all!
