Your Treasure Trove of Art Resources


Are you spending more time planning lessons and writing rubrics than teaching art?

Are you wasting hours scrolling through Pinterest looking for the right lesson but are unsure if it will work with your class?

Are you having a hard time determining which lessons are appropriate for your class?

Totally hear you.

Teaching art has become a struggle for even the most seasoned art teacher. Not only do you have to teach children art techniques and history but tie each lesson into a set of standards and do this with 5-minutes of prep.

After teaching art for 13 years in a public elementary school to 400 kids, I know the realities of teaching art:

-Back-to-back classes with little prep time which can leave you exhausted

-Talkative kids that make it impossible to get through a project

-Art projects that miss the mark which leads to a class of frustrated artists

-Little or no planning hours which cuts into your personal time

I’m here to help you navigate through the maze of art planning to find the perfect lessons for your students.

FAQ

How does membership work?

The Sparklers Club is a monthly subscription. This means that you pay monthly to access content via the exclusive Sparklers website.

You can cancel anytime.

The lessons in the membership include Common Core standards, I Can statements, visual art standards and assessments.

A new art bundle, trainings and art resources are added each month.

The lessons are offered as single PDF lesson plans to download or access through the site. Each lesson has a supply list, objectives, detailed instructions, standards & assessments and often instructional videos.

Lessons are grouped by artist or theme and are released as a BUNDLE.


I only teach one grade level. Would The Sparklers’ Club be right for me?

Absolutely! Our membership offers 4 Levels:

Grades K-2, Grades 3-4, Grades 5-6 and All Grades K-6.

You pick the level that’s right for you.

 


Can I upgrade to a yearly membership or K-6 Level after signing up?

Absolutely! You can upgrade your monthly membership within 2 months. After two months you can upgrade your membership at the yearly rate and your 12 months will start at time of purchase.


Can I get an invoice so my school can pay for this?

Yes. Many teachers have been successful getting their school or district to pay. Sometimes it comes out of a Professional Development (PD) budget, sometime from other places including PTA and PTOs. Definitely don’t hesitate to ask.

Download and edit this Letter of Support, then print and sign a copy to give to your administration. Include this Example Receipt.

There are a couple of options when a school or district is willing to pay. We don’t take Purchase Orders for subscriptions to The Sparklers Members Club, but in many cases, school will reimburse you.

Download this Example Receipt and include it with your Letter of Support.

Another option is to start with a monthly plan, then later upgrade to yearly when the school or district is ready to reimburse you. This is the best way to get enrolled now, and get started with all the great membership material. Then you can upgrade from a monthly to yearly plan within 2 months after signing up.

Many teachers have been successful in getting reimbursements from their school. Don’t hesitate to ask!


I am a Studio Owner. How will the membership work for me?

Studio owners make up 25% of our total enrollment. That’s a lot of members! Members have been able to share what works for them in their studio plus offer support on common problems they experience.

Patty often answers questions pertaining to running a creative business, too!

The membership is designed to support ONE art teacher, studio owner or teacher. If you have more than one franchise or location, you’ll need to purchase the appropriate number of memberships.


Can I subscribe to certain months?

Although you may cancel at anytime, membership registration only happens a couple of times a year (January and August).

Your monthly fee when joining the membership will remain intact throughout the duration of your membership.

If you should cancel (and you certainly can at anytime) and chose to join us later, you will be charged the updated fee.


If I purchase the yearly membership, will all of the months be available immediately?

One new art bundle and training is added each month. The membership art bank grows each month.

As a yearly member, you can choose TWO  bundle each month PLUS THREE additional bundles when you need them.

The benefit of the yearly membership is that if you know that this program will be advantageous to you, it’s very cost effective to sign up for yearly pricing and you can access more bundles.

You pay for 10 months instead of 12. Also, school districts are far more likely to fund yearly memberships.


Do you offer volume discounts for multi-membership purchases?

Yes. We offer schools the chance for group memberships or a STAFF PASS. Please contact support@deepspacesparkle.com for assistance.


Do you offer refunds?

Yes. If after the first 24 hours after enrolling you decide that The Sparklers Club isn’t right for you,  you can request a refund.

Just contact us through the link at the footer of this page.
