How to teach art without spending hours prepping

Posted on 11 Mar at 9:00 am

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

Everyone Loves MTM!

On behalf of all the teachers and students of dePortola Elementary School, I’d like to commend you for providing an outstanding first year of Meet the Masters for our school. The quality of your program is excellent. The teachers felt their students truly learned to recognize the works and styles of the great masters that they were introduced to. We appreciated the variety of classroom art projects presented.

Our lecturer was well liked by teachers and students. She is professional and responsive to each age group of students. I also found her to be excellent as our coordinator and workshop presenter. We felt very fortunate that she was with us.

Our principal has also been enthusiastic and supportive of the Meet the Masters program. We both will always be pleased to recommend your program to other elementary schools.
