Hey folks! I have been getting a lot of emails and questions on how I organize my classroom and how to teach off an art cart. So, I have started a little series called
Painted Paper Art: The Organized Art Teacher
I’ll be honest with you. I have trouble keeping things organized at times. But, if you realize you are not perfect and remember you are always a work in progress, then hey all things are good! Just remember to work on the small piles and it will make your life easier. Notice I didn’t say EASY ! lol
If you are new to teaching or just curious what brushes I use, I created a short video showing my favorite brushes and the way I use them with my students.
School is right around the corner. If you need to order some, these are by far my favorite.

Hi Laura,
I have a question for you, I am a newer art teacher and I need to order new paint brushes, so what do I order? I see that you posted your favorite sites for ordering brushes, but I am having trouble finding affordable brands and I’m not sure what type or bristle to get (natural, synthetic, goat, camel, etc.). I believe I need 1/2 inch flat and 1 inch flat brushes. Help please. Thank you!
I purchase inexpensive brushes. Synthetic with wood handles. Since we paint a lot these brushes take a beating with my little artists.
