Welcome to The Helpful Art Teacher, an interdisciplinary website linking visual arts to math, social studies, science and language arts.

Learning how to draw means learning to see. A good art lesson teaches us not only to create but to look at, think about and understand our world through art.

  8. I have my kids doing stop motion animation but we are in need of shelves. I tried cardboard which worked until other students needed to make art out of the cardboard. Where did you get those wire shelves? They look amazing. I think the locker shelf I have is a bit tall an narrow but yours appears a little shorter and much wider. How do I find them?
