About The Author
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 books or art curriculum to follow that was appropriate for children. Today, I’ve taught tens of thousands children art through my traveling art studio by attending some of the largest education conferences in all pedagogies, hosting the largest homeschool conferences nationally, and offering school visual arts programming. I became really good at teaching children, which has led me to write 11 art education books. I now travel internationally and train teachers 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 offer your students painting lessons!
