Teach Art With Confidence!

Get Art Certified

So many international schools and training centers have utilized The Art Teaching Blueprint. Some of our esteemed customers include accreditation guides for both The American Montessori Society (AMS) and the Association Montessori International (AMI).

Teaching art doesn't have to be stressful (and you don't have to be an artist to do it)!

You know visual art education is valuable, however you might not know where to even start—no one taught you about art curriculum or how kids really learn art.  

• Do you dream of having organized art lessons for your students?

• Do you want art projects to support your most important Great Lessons, or Cosmic Education?

• Do you want your students to have work that leads to innovative thinking?

• Do you want to do all this without any stress??

That's why I created:

Hi, I’m Spramani

I’m an artist, homeschool mom, art teacher, and art studio owner. 

When I decided to teach art to children over twenty years ago I struggled to find any art curriculum to follow that was appropriate for children. 

Today, I’ve taught tens of thousands children through my traveling art studio attending some of the largest education conferences for different pedagogies, and homeschooling organizations nationally.

I became really good at teaching children which has led me to write 7 art education books, and now develop art curriculum for schools around the world.

I now travel internationally and train teacher’s my science art method, and  how to bring art literacy into their classrooms.

 I’ve spent thousands of hours perfecting art lessons for children of all ages. 

Now I want to help you teach your students art lessons with my proven art method.
