How to teach art without spending hours prepping

Posted on 3 hours ago

You have enough things to plan already:

Reading lessons, math instruction, science experiments, and parent communications. 

Adding art to that list means more hours searching for ideas, gathering supplies, and hoping the project actually works when 25 students try it at once.

Meet the Masters takes that weight off:

  • Every lesson comes complete. 
  • The presentation is built. 
  • The script is written. 
  • The materials are organized. 

You get a full hour of instruction without spending your evening on Pinterest looking for ideas.

MTM students learn how to create tessellations inspired by M.C. Escher.

But here’s what makes it more valuable than just saving time…

The lessons connect to what you’re already teaching:

  • M.C. Escher introduces tessellations, which reinforce geometry concepts.
  • Alexander Calder teaches balance and engineering principles.
  • Frida Kahlo, Rosa Bonheur, and Henri Rousseau all explore animals and nature through art, connecting to science units.

Art becomes more than a Friday afternoon activity. 

It becomes another way to reinforce concepts students need to master anyway.

And if you’re in Southern California, you can have one of our teachers come in and lead the lesson. A new face brings fresh energy to the classroom. Students perk up when someone different walks in. It feels like a special event, not just another Tuesday.

Either way, you’re not starting from scratch. 

The research is done. The lesson is tested. The supplies are ready.

You just show up and teach.

Warm regards,

Meet the Masters
