IPaintMyMind Offers FREE Art Guide Curriculum to All Chicago Public Schools in Wake of Covid, Remote Learning for Fall 2020

At IPaintMyMind, we have been devoted to access and equity since our very first days as an organization. In fact, the very foundation of who we are and what we believe rests on the idea that everyone should have access to art, and to a high quality art education. As a nonprofit, we spend all of our time thinking about how to better serve our community and how to adapt to a rapidly evolving set of needs. This has been especially true over the last few months, as Chicago and the whole world has gone toe-to-toe with the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As Chicago Public Schools made the difficult but necessary decision to move all schools to remote learning for the first semester of the 2020-2021 school year, it became clear to us that our programs were going to look a lot different this year. We understand the unique barriers and obstacles being sprung on teachers and administrators throughout the city as you try to tackle remote learning, while at the same time managing underfunding, understaffing, and equity issues between students regarding their access to technology and support. 

Your needs have changed. We want to rise to the occasion. 

That’s why we have decided to offer our IPaintMyMind Art Guide For Art Teachers or Engagement Guide For Classroom Teachers downloadable for every CPS teacher and administrator, absolutely free.

Just ENTER YOUR CPS.EDU EMAIL and YOUR NAME to receive FREE ACCESS to this 88+ page document which presents a super customizable and flexible art class curriculum, suitable for a wide variety of ages, skill sets, and timelines.

Both guides are available in English or Spanish, and each of them include an Entire Art Curriculum, 18 Arts Activities, and a Treasure Trove of Arts Resources and Content.

If you are a CPS Teacher, just CLICK ON THIS LINK and ENTER YOUR NAME and CPS EMAIL ADDRESS and you will be automatically sent a FREE Art Guide for 20/21!

Another Version For Teachers and Parents Nationwide

Another version of this document is offered for $197 to all teachers, parents and caregivers outside of Chicago Public Schools, seeing as it includes full curriculum outlines, 20+ prompts, 18 arts activities, and a treasure trove of other arts engagement goodies.
