Greetings! I’m Spramani,

I wear many hats – I’m an artist, a homeschooling mom, an art teacher, and the proud owner of an art studio called Nature of Art®.

Over three decades ago, when I embarked on the journey of teaching art to children, I encountered a significant challenge: a lack of suitable art curricula tailored for teaching children.

Fast forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of instructing art to tens of thousands of children through my mobile art studio, participating in major educational conferences across various teaching philosophies, hosting one of the nation’s largest homeschool conferences centered around elementary children, and offering after-school visual art programs.

My dedication to teaching children has led me to become an expert in the field, resulting in the authorship of seven visual art education books.

Now, I find myself traveling worldwide, training educators on how to integrate art literacy into their classrooms.

With thousands of hours spent honing art lessons for children of all ages, I’m excited to share my proven art method and help you in your journey to teach art to your students!

Drawing Curriculum Elementary Children

But here’s the exciting part – you don’t have to be a seasoned artist to lead these lessons! Whether you’re an art enthusiast or someone who struggles to draw even basic stick figures, this elementary children’s curriculum is crafted for beginners.

Moreover, it’s not just for the students; you can learn and improve your drawing skills along the way too. Drawing has been a passion of mine since my own elementary years! During this art journely I’ve closely observed the key skills that need to be developed. Rest assured, this curriculum has been meticulously curated to ensure an enriching experience for both educators and learners.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with numerous art teachers who’ve candidly shared their challenges and frustrations when it comes to students struggling with basic drawing skills in elementary grades. Many of these educators express bewilderment at why this seemingly simple task can be so difficult for their young learners.

Through my extensive work and close observations of these dedicated teachers, a common thread emerged – the previous instructors hadn’t taken the time to introduce children to fundamental line drawing exercises. Furthermore, they often overlooked the crucial aspect of understanding a child’s visual development.

To address these issues, I’ve developed these drawing lessons based on my Science Art Method® philosophy. This method takes into account the intricate interplay of fine motor skills, cognitive function, and the phases of visual perception in a child’s development. My goal is to make learning to draw easier and more understandable for both teachers and students through this comprehensive approach.

This drawing curriculum saves time! Get 15 – 41 sequential step-by-step art lessons easy for you to follow with scope and sequence.
