What We Do

We’ve designed a complete art program

Art in Action’s curriculum spans from
Kindergarten-8th Grade, whether you’re looking to teach art to a single class or a whole school,
we’ve got you covered.
We train your teachers & volunteers

Having a culture of art at your school means everyone can get involved! Most training can be done over the web, even if you’ve never taught art before.
We can provide you the art materials

You can purchase pre-cut, counted, and labeled program-specific art supplies needed for a year of art! We present an easy solution for teachers
and parent volunteers.

The Curriculum

Each of Art in Action’s nine program levels has at least twelve sequential, age-appropriate lessons that provide a high-quality visual art curriculum. The multifaceted lessons develop students’ critical-thinking skills, creative confidence, hands-on skills, visual literacy, self-esteem, and an appreciation of other cultures.
