User Testimonials
Nurturing emotional intelligence alongside artistic expression is vital in empowering students to navigate both their creative pursuits and their personal lives with confidence and empathy.
ArtReach Teaching Artists created standards-based, engaging lessons from concept to completion. The quality of our instructional content directly impacts the learning and creating experience for teachers and students. We wanted to make sure the ArtReach Learning Portal reflected the same high standard that carries across everything we do.
“I LOVED the video. My students kept asking if Ms. Sierra worked at our school because they loved her and wanted to meet her. It allowed me to do a quality art lesson, without the daunting prep that comes with planning. I loved the SEL connection. Students really opened up, enjoyed talking about their feelings, and connected to the project. The connection to real artists is so amazing and the students really enjoyed seeing that. This is the part that I have no background knowledge on, so it was nice that a professional found those real life art connections.”
“SEL is a huge hot topic in education right now. It’s being addressed in school with lesson after lesson, that students don’t often connect to. The idea of connecting art (a high interest activity) to an SEL lesson is GENIUS. The students all connected right away, paid attention, and explored their emotions. I’m a huge advocate for this.”
“I really enjoyed this experience, thank you. I will definitely consider getting a membership for my classroom. The idea of connecting SEL to art really hits home. My own daughter is really struggling and I am going to do this lesson with her. I think it would very calming and powerful for her. If my own daughter is struggling, you know many of the students in my class are. The students get so much SEL education, yet there is no change in behaviors. The approach is wrong and we need to do something else to reach them. This is a great place to start.”
“Thank you for the supplies! Made it so easy! The lesson was straight forward and user friendly. It gave me confidence in trying something new for the first time. Students loved it!”
