Each of the 7 units pairs a valuable life principle (such as Teamwork, Dedication, Commitment, and more) with a principle of art (such as Proportion, Symmerty, Color Theory, and more), seamlessly blending art-making with self-improvement.

This art program is a fantastic addition to our classroom. The provided materials engage every student, and the curriculum aligns seamlessly with state standards. Each lesson excites students with fun facts about California, inspiring both creativity and curiosity. With an easy-to-implement setup, teachers can focus on student engagement rather than prep. This program enriches learning and brings art to life in a meaningful way. Highly recommended!

Rainforest Art is an amazing art program!!! They have provided our students with engaging art lessons that are standard based, fun and creative. My class participates each year because the lessons are easy to follow, fun and most importantly all the art supplies are provided. This is a true blessing for teachers because everything we need is ready to go. Thank you for helping me become a stronger art teacher and helping students build a passion for art!

Frankly, I was always afraid of teaching art and was not sure how to do it. With your guidance and support, now I love drawing, coloring and learning and teaching with my students.

I'll be honest, I opened the boxes when they first arrived and closed them again because I got scared of the lesson! But after your (RAP) workshop at the school, I thought I'd try the stepping stone project after all. This was a great project to do! The online content helped with understanding the history of mosaic art and what it can produce just with little pieces of tessera. What I liked was the realization of the art the students viewed in the lessons was a more difficult process than they originally thought. Being able to learn about the history and actually doing the project themselves gave the students a much deeper appreciation and understanding of artists and their craft. All my students said it was hard, but they were very proud of their finished product! I really appreciate Rainforest Art Project to help bring art back into our classroom. It's hard enough to teach all subjects every day. Your program helps lighten a load by integrating some of our 4th grade social studies curriculum and art with all the materials provided! Thank you and I look forward to Franklin's future partnership with your company.
