At Painter Pals, we believe art can transform a classroom by fostering creativity, emotional growth, and student engagement. Our program is thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing curriculum, making it easy for teachers to bring art-based social-emotional learning (SEL) activities to their students. By using art as a tool, we help students develop self-expression, build confidence, and strengthen interpersonal skills.
Our projects align with California and Washington Common Core Standards for Visual Art, ensuring that our lessons meet educational benchmarks while encouraging creativity and self-discovery. Our activities are crafted to support SEL by providing safe spaces where students can
express their emotions, build empathy, and gain self-awareness.
Teachers often see improved behavior, focus, and participation as students channel their energy into creative expression.
We understand how valuable your time is, so our program is structured to fit effortlessly into your schedule. Each lesson includes clear guides, adaptable activities, and flexible options to tailor to your class’s needs. Whether you incorporate our program into your existing lesson plans or simply keep it as a creative resource in your toolbox, Painter Pals is here to support your classroom in whatever way works best for you.
