You know landscapes belong in your curriculum, but figuring out how to actually teach them to children can feel like a complete guessing game (even with a formal art degree!)
This training gives you everything you need to immediately start teaching landscapes with clarity and confidence.
We understand the reality of delivering a comprehensive art program.
Whether you teach hundreds of students each week or squeeze art into one hour of an already packed classroom schedule, you’re likely balancing limited supplies, less-than-ideal spaces and a wide range of student needs along the way.
What if you could skip the trial and error and have tried-and-true strategies at your fingertips to help you build an art program around the time, space, supplies and strengths you already have?
That’s exactly what we’re bringing you.
We went back through a decade of workshops, teacher questions and real classroom experience to gather the ten strategies we return to again and again.
Together, they make up our most comprehensive back-to-school training yet: a decade of experience all in one FREE workshop.
You’ll learn how to…
✔️Cut your lesson planning time in HALF, without compromising on quality or standards with a few simple shifts
✔️ Build a balanced art program that brings you joy, keeps prep manageable and gives students a rich variety of techniques to explore
✔️ Use our planning methods to identify your constraints and turn them into your biggest advantage
✔️ Confidently choose and adapt lessons that play to your strengths and help every student feel successful and excited to create
Follow along in your fill-in workbook as we walk through all ten strategies.
You’ll leave with a customized Planning Toolkit you can return to throughout the school year.

I’m Heather Sparks, lead lesson creator and developer for Deep Space Sparkle and The Sparklers’ Club.
For the past decade, Team Sparkle and I have devoted ourselves to supporting educators as they bring meaningful art experiences to children without carrying the full weight of planning alone.
As art educators ourselves, we know what it’s like to spend an entire weekend planning lessons, navigate a wide range of skill levels or walk away from an art lesson wondering what went wrong.
In this workshop, we’re doing something we've never done before.
We’re bringing together 10 of our all-time favorite strategies, drawn from what we’ve seen make a meaningful difference in real art programs over the last decade
Together, they’ll help you deliver a joyful art program shaped around your teaching reality.
Because the truth is, you deserve to spend less time piecing lessons together and more time creating art experiences that help children feel capable, confident and excited by what they can create.
I think you're going to love this workshop!
Here's to a year of teaching art that feels lighter, clearer and a whole lot more fun.
