The New Year’s resolution that benefits every student

New year, new plans.

You’re probably thinking about what to add to your school in 2026:

• Better reading programs. 
• More STEM activities. 
• Ways to boost test scores.

Here’s something that helps with all of that: art.

Students who spend regular time with art score higher in math and reading. They develop better problem-solving skills. They handle challenges with more confidence. 

It’s not magic… it’s just what happens when kids learn to think creatively.

So if you already have a few of our artists, consider adding more.

Each artist teaches something different:

• Van Gogh shows them expressive brushwork.
• Mondrian introduces geometric thinking.
• Frida Kahlo demonstrates cultural storytelling.

The more artists they study, the more techniques they learn. And variety keeps them engaged throughout the year.

If you’re new to Meet the Masters, start with one track. Seven artists, structured lessons, all the materials you need. It’s easier to implement than you’d expect. 

And the results show up quickly:

• Students love creating their own work.
• Teachers appreciate having a curriculum that they don’t have to build themselves. 
• And administrators see the boost in school-wide engagement.

Art isn’t a luxury. 

It’s practical. It improves focus, encourages teamwork, and gives students a way to express themselves that other subjects can’t provide.

Make 2026 the year you add more art. Your students will benefit in ways that go far beyond the art room.

Warm regards,

Meet the Masters
