Let these famous artist quotes encourage each of you to embrace creativity in whatever form suits you! These pretty watercolor art quotes are the perfect addition to home or classroom to help you remember to think like an artist.

Are you an artist...

I didn't always consider myself to be an "artist." Although I get great joy from making things I've never felt like I had reached "real artist" status. I'm not a suffering artist or a starving artist. My artwork doesn't have much of an underlying societal or intellectual meaning. But I do like making my world and the world of those around me a little more pleasant, a little more beautiful.

I liked art class in grade school and high school. I was neat and good at following directions, which was basically what it takes to succeed at "art" in the school setting. What I love about these famous artist quotes is they inspire us to go beyond the following of directions; beyond the making of a "craft." These art quotes are there to encourage that little spark of an artist inside of you to take a risk and make something today!

On being an art teacher.....

In college I stumbled around a major, finally landing on art education. I never had one particular medium I fell in love with and practiced constantly. I made a little bit of this and that out of a little bit of everything. While I sometimes struggled to feel like a legitimate artist in my own right I believe it made me perfectly suited to be an art teacher.

Being a "real artist....."

Four kids later art has a different purpose in my life. Or maybe it really doesn't. Maybe I just appreciate the role of creativity a little more than I used to. Making something makes me happy, a little lighter. In a season of life when there is very little "me time" making things is essential to keeping my head above water.

The search for "just perfect...."

I like doing things well; even better is making something "just perfect." Being a "just perfect" artist (insert the words mother friend, wife, etc here) is darn near impossible. I've tried.

It is exhausting.

If you're a recovering perfectionist artist like I am you might enjoy these quotes about being mindful. They really help me to appreciate where I'm at and what is happening around me!

Let these famous artist quotes remind you that even the greatest artist of all time were experimenting and playing with new concepts. Art isn't a sure thing. It's a process with ups and downs, no matter who you are.

Art quotes that make you pay attention....

I really think that's the value of art in my life. Pay attention to the little stuff. See beauty where it already exists and maybe even leave things a little nicer than I found them. That is how my idea of "real art" and "real artists" has changed over the years. Art doesn't have to be saleable or angst filled or have an agenda to be meaningful. It can be anything you want.

To this day I do not have a medium that is my one true love. Usually what I make fills a need. My art doesn't hang on a wall. Taking something necessary and making it more beautiful to use is my favorite. I'm a practical artist. Is that even a thing?

Cooking, sewing; anything mundane can be filled with creativity if you approach it in that way. I'm a stay at home, homeschooling, blogging mama. My days are filled to the brim with activities for others.

Making stuff is for me.

Be inspired by these famous art quotes...

No matter your art of choice, whether you have art hanging in the local gallery, you're a scrapbook queen, or a baker of treats- it all counts. Even if you're one of those people that swears they don't have an artsy bone in your body I hope you can find a little inspiration in these famous artist quotes.

These are inspirational art quotes from the greats, artists whose work is hanging in museums today. But they are just as applicable and approachable today as they would have been when they were said. Read them, pin them up on a bulletin board, or tuck them in your favorite book as a bookmark.

Remember that there is beauty in your way of seeing the world. Don't be afraid to share it!

Know you need to inventory your art, but don't know where to start?

Inventorying your artwork helps to organize, strengthen, and streamline your art business. Plus, it isn't the beast you think it is.

We've broken it down into ten simple steps to make it even easier.

So, turn on your favorite tunes, enlist some generous friends or family members, and set to inventorying your artwork.

You'll be so glad you did and when you're done you'll have a living archive of every single piece you've ever made, all your business contacts, all the locations that have shown your art, and every competition you've ever entered all on Artwork Archive.

This organizational bliss will free you up to do more of what you love and sell more artwork!

Work Backwards

It can seem overwhelming to inventory a career's worth of art, so we recommend working backward That way you'll start with the art that is freshest in your mind-and the work you need to have details on hand for potential galleries and buyers. Then you can take a trip down memory lane and archive your past work.

Take High-Quality Photographs

While this may seem obvious, it is tempting to type in the title and dimensions of a piece and be done with it. Don't fall for that trap! We all know artists are visual creatives and it is so important to have a visual reminder of your work.

As the years go by and the works amass, it can be easy to forget which painting goes with what title. It's also nice to have beautiful, high-quality images of your work to send to interested art collectors, buyers, and galleries using the Artwork Archive inventory report or portfolio page feature.

Inventorying all your art with beautiful photos and the right information lets you send buyers and galleries what they need in a snap.

Number Your Work

It's useful to have a numbering system in place so you can track your work chronologically and know the basic information just from the label. There is no one way to inventory your art, but there are plenty of great ideas out there if you don't know where to start.

Artist Cedar Lee organizes her art by two digits for the number of the painting she painted that year, then a letter for the month (January is A, February is B, etc.), and two digits for the year. On her fantastic blog Art by Cedar, she writes "for example, there is a painting in my inventory with the control number 41J08. This tells me that it was the 41st painting of the year, created in October of 2008." She begins again with number 1 and the letter A every January.

You can also add more detail such as a letter to signify the type or medium of the work like OP for oil painting, S for sculpture, EP for edition print, and so one. This would work well for an artist who creates in a variety of medium.

Add In the Right Details

You'll need to record the title, dimensions, inventory number, creation date, price, medium, and subject matter to have a detailed catalog of the piece. You can also add in the framed dimensions if need be. You can upload up to 20 pieces at once using our Bulk Upload feature and fill in the title, inventory number, and price as they upload. Then you can add in the rest of the information. Next, comes the extra fun part - and no, we're not joking.

Take Notes on Each Piece

Record the description of each piece as well as any notes for the piece. These can be thoughts you had while creating the artwork, inspirations, materials used, and if it was a gift or a commission.

You'll get to relive the creation of each piece, reflect on past successes, and see how far you've come. Your notes will always be private in Artwork Archive and your description will only be made public if you mark a piece as "public".

Assign Your Work to a Location

Once you've logged all your Pieces into the art inventory software you can assign each piece to a location. That way you'll always know which gallery or venue is showing your work.

You'll have the information at the ready if a buyer wants to purchase a piece that is outside of your studio and you'll never accidentally send work to the same gallery twice. You'll also know where all your art resides once it has been purchased whether it's your hometown or an international location.

Add Important Contacts

Then you can add in important business contacts so you have the details of your art collectors, gallery owners, interior designers, museum curators, and art fair directors all in one place. That way you can access them anytime, anywhere as well as connect them to specific pieces within your inventory. You can keep them updated on your art career and mail personal thank you notes to your best buyers.

Add your contacts in so you can see who your best buyers are. Then you can notify them of new art they might like to purchase.

Register Sales

Next, you can register sales to specific contacts within your Artwork Archive account. You'll know exactly who bought what, when, and for how much. That way you can notify them when you've created similar work and hopefully make another sale. You'll also gain sales insight this way to assist you with your business plans.

Record Competitions, Shows & Exhibition History

Having a log of all the competitions allows you to see which ones accepted your artwork and which ones awarded you a prize. Tracking your most successful pieces will help you to understand what jurors are looking for, so you can enter with better pieces every year.

Also, it certainly piques a buyers interest if a work has won a competition, so you'll want to have this titillating piece of information on hand to help a sale along.

Enjoy and Share Your Work

Once you've inventoried all your work, you can either view it all on the Pieces Page or turn on your Public Page and peruse a beautiful online gallery of your work. Then you can share it with buyers and collectors and sell more artwork. Our paid subscribers who have marked four or more pieces "public" are featured on Discovery, where buyers can contact them directly to purchase work. Better yet, artists handle the transactions and keep all the money!

This school year I will be out on an extended maternity leave. While I am so excited to get to stay home with my babies, I'm definitely going to miss my classroom! Setting up my art room in the beginning of the year is something I always look forward to. Freshly painted tables and stools, sparkling'ish clean floors, new bulletin board borders, bright new posters to hang - I LOVE it all so much!

Normally I start off each school year with a post showing how I set up my art room and my plans for classroom management, but this year is going to be a little different. Instead I'm going to show you some pictures of things that worked great in previous years, and what exciting new creations I've been working on for the art room!

Visual Art Word Wall

These Visual Art Word Wall cards are the perfect way to get your kids to learn art vocabulary AND a great way to show your administration how you can incorporate literacy into your art room!

Every year I hang these up along the back wall in my classroom, that way when my students are lined up waiting for their teacher, they have an opportunity to peruse my wall.

This summer I've made some exciting new updates to my word wall cards! The vocab words are now much bolder and the card set with definitions included is significantly easier to read from afar.

Elements and Principles Posters and Strips

Another item I like to hang on the back wall of my classroom is my This summer I've been working on a new set of Elements of Art and Principles of Design Poster set. Putting these posters next to where my kids line up at the end of class gives them yet another opportunity to become more familiar with the elements and principles.
The package that I sell in my TPT store has these posters sized to 8.5"x11" or 18"x24", but the ones I have in my classroom I just scaled down in my print settings to print at 13"x18".
simplified Elements and Principles poster strips. These poster strips print 2 to a page and are about 3.5"x9.5" each. The great thing about these new poster strips is that they are really bold and easy to read from a distance. That makes them great for hanging above bulletin boards or white boards or wherever else you may have space to put them! Each card features the name of the element or principle and a colorful background that reflects the meaning of the word (similar to my visual art word wall cards).

Art Supply Labels

You know who likes an unorganized art room? Not me! I am like the queen of organization.. so the fact that my art room went six years without having my supplies labeled absolutely blows my mind! I created these Art Supply Labels with the intention of not only labeling the outside of my plastic storage bins, but the outside of my cabinet doors as well (that way I'd know exactly where everything was AND so would my students)! Having my cabinets labeled would be a great way to have my students retrieve supplies for their tables AND help me save valuable instructional time!
Because as art teachers we have TONS of different materials and supplies in our rooms, I came up with a list of 200 common art and classroom supplies and made labels for each of them. In my package I also included a blank template with both written and video directions to help teachers make custom labels (just in case they were missing something).

Color Mixing Posters

Years ago I painted a posterboard-sized set of color mixing posters to hang in my classroom to help my students learn about primary, secondary, and intermediate/tertiary colors. As time went on however, I realized that I needed more than one set in my classroom (I wanted it easy for all my students to be able to see). So eventually I created a digital version of my color mixing posters.
The best part of having these posters up in my classroom was that all my students were able to easily refer to them if they forgot how to mix a specific color (this especially came in handy with my kinders).

Art Genre Cards

Learning to classify artwork into genres is a great skill to teach your students - especially if that just so happens to be something that you're expected to cover for your SLO testing! To help my students remember the possible categories, I created these Art Genre Cards! In previous years I've hung them directly above my whiteboard/projector screen, so when I'm presenting a new artist or piece of artwork to my students, I can have them quickly categorize the piece of art.
So for example, if I had van Gogh's "Starry Night" projected on my board, my students would be able to deduce that the painting is either a landscape or cityscape (would make for an interesting debate) and is also a piece of abstract art.

Art Movement Cards

Trying to incorporate some more art history into your lessons? Or even better - are you a high school art teacher? These Modern Art Movement cards are a perfect way to introduce your students to 33 modern art movements! I've created two different versions of this set; a simplified set that contains the visuals, the art movement name, and the active years of the movement, and then a more complex set that also includes a brief description of the movement and some of the most active artists in the movement.

Modern Art Artist Cards

My Modern Art Movement Artist card set matches perfectly with my Art Movement cards! There are so many different things you could do with these. You could post them on a bulletin board to make an artist "word wall," hang them up to display information about a featured artist for a lesson, use them as headers for an artist of the week bulletin board, or even make an artist timeline to help your students visually see how artists may have influenced each other's work!
Each card features a photograph or painting of the artist him/herself, an enlarged example of their work in the background, their name, years lived, and the art movement(s) they were most associated with. Best part of this package? There are over 200 artists included!

Crayon Color Poster Cards

I'm pretty excited about these new Crayon Color Poster Cards that I made because they are so stinking cute AND they come in ALL the colors! Anytime I buy color posters for my classroom they only include the basic 9 colors, so finally I created my own! This set includes yellow, yellow-orange, orange, red-orange, red, red-violet, violet (& purple), blue-violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow-green, white, gray, black, brown, pink! It also comes with a variety of color scheme headers and other add-ons to help arrange them however you'd like! They are seriously so adorable!
BONUS: They also come with a blank template so you can create your own labels with them!

Color Mixing Poster Cards

This package is similar to my crayon cards in that they display ALL the colors (tertiaries included) - but this Color Mixing Poster Card set ALSO includes a visual in the corner showing what colors you would need to mix together to create the featured color! This set is a great way to help students learn color names, how to categorize them, and how to create them in a variety of mediums!

*Package includes the colors: red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, yellow, yellow-green, green. blue-green, blue, blue-violet, violet (and optional purple substitute), red-violet, pink, brown, gray, white, and black. (White and black not shown in preview below.)

Descriptive Shades of Color Posters

Want your students to start speaking more descriptively about color (or at least more so then like light blue or dark blue)? Yep - so do I. That's why I created these Descriptive Shades of Color Posters. I have two different versions of this item to suit differing decor tastes and both versions come with 9 color posters (either full page or half page) and two possible title posters. One of the title posters reads "The Many Shades of Color," while the other reads "Variety of Color."
Why you ask? While varying colors of a single hue are often referred to as "shades" of a color, they technically aren't all. This becomes especially confusing for our youngest learners who learn about shades in the context of tints and shades - so a color + black. You can bypass that confusion by just using the "Variety of Color" title card. :)

新泰國中「美感實驗室」美術教室

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
新北市新泰國中校園裡，有間美術教室尤其特別，沒有尋常教室黑板、木製課桌椅等標配，轉而用純白色系構築空間，並以色彩四原色CMYK妝點。原來，這是由「非常態空間製作所」為新泰國中打造的「美感實驗室」，以白為空間基底襯托學生在此的繽紛創作，並運用平衡、對稱搭配黃金比例概念的空間配置，透過環境打開學生對美的初步感知。
生活教室化身美感實驗室
「美感實驗室」原先為生物教室，黑板佈告欄、帶有洗手台的木頭長桌、灰濛磨石子地，跟印象中的傳統教室並無不同，而非常態空間製作所的任務，是要將這改造為美術教室。改造後的空間，整體依循著等分、置中、對稱視覺構圖技巧，並以鮮明的CMYK與白色線條，將黃金比例等美學知識化為地板圖騰。
不同層次的白
設計團隊先把教室原先樣貌拋開，將之化為白紙，保留既有地板質地，並將室內牆面、天花換上純白色，而教室內幾乎所有設備外觀也以白色呈現，達成視覺一致性，而教室原有的鋁窗橫擋也被去除，當日光流入室內，場域通透感再提升，像是隨時準備好承接孩子們在此揮灑想像力。

教室後方牆面也換了姿態，從白色漸層遞嬗至鏡面，除能讓空間感更為寬闊，也象徵了虛幻與現實的過渡，正如同各種藝術形式，總能創造出在虛實間遊走的奇異感，激發觀者想像。

同時，黑板被換成尺度更大的白板牆，讓教師不再侷限於傳統黑板的書寫範圍，在教程的呈現也更具彈性及想像空間。與之相映的，還有教室外設計細節，設計團隊拋開扁平、長方狀的傳統教室牌款式，轉而用「燈箱」形式連接整體場域概念；走廊上鋪滿磁磚的樑柱，則被白色烤漆鐵板環抱，可作為磁性佈告欄展示學生作品。
多功能「美感實驗中島」
原有的木製長桌，也被設計團隊全拿掉。純白空間裡，色彩四原色CMYK自天花板流洩而下，注入教室視覺焦點「美感實驗中島」，其具有洗滌、收納、教師講台、創作區、展示台等多元功能，之所以把機能集中在中島，是希望把其他空間「還給使用者」，讓教室擁有更大可利用面積。為讓使用上更彈性，設計團隊也打造組合式、複合功能課桌椅，可因應不同課程需求如小組創作、講座、展覽等，自由變化座椅配置，收納上也相當便利。
中島設計顧及教師、學生需求

綜觀中島整體設計，會發現設計團隊將教師、學生需求皆納入考量。對老師們來說，可善加利用中島收納功能，將課程教材設備依照尺寸、使用頻率進行分類，讓教學時更有效率，也可避免物件無謂堆積。

另一方面，中島收納櫃上的掀板，就是學生可施作作品的桌板；期末時，中島也可化身作品展示平台，天花燈軌系統光源可替換為投射燈，學生可根據自身所想，選擇要如何呈現作品，透過這類似「佈展」的學習經驗，深化美感學習的體驗力度。

如今大眾對「美」的意識更加敏銳，設計師解決問題、美感塑造的專業也被拉進教育空間，由教育部、設研院籌辦的「學美‧美學-校園美感設計實踐計畫」進入全台校園打造美感教室。當我們在談美感課程，除了教科書方面的優化，也不能忽略「教育空間」本身就是傳遞美感的載體，當這接近沈浸式、對感官有著潛移默化影響的做法實現，力道或許比字面資訊來得更直接。
