HEIDI HOW The Heidi How channel produces easy to follow, skill building art project tutorials for art teachers and home school art. Most projects are easily adaptable for "Art on a Cart" teachers and TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) classrooms. Heidi How art lesson tutorials are perfect for beginning teachers, especially first year art teachers. Heid How also has a lot of great ideas if you are looking to refresh your art curriculum and integrate some new art lessons and fun art projects. Most tutorials are geared toward Elementary Art (K-5), but most can be easily expanded and adapted for middle school and high school art programs. Use Heidi How lessons when • you are a beginning or first year teacher • you need a lesson to demonstrate for a job interview • you want to add art to your home school curriculum • you have a TAB classroom or are transitioning to TAB (teaching for artistic behavior) • you teach art on a cart • you are an elementary art teacher who needs new ideas, lessons or methods Heidi How is meant to be a community resource.
