Party Time Bundle
Cue the confetti and get ready to celebrate alongside your students with the Party Time Bundle. In this bundle, you’ll find lessons featuring plenty of party gear, from candles and balloons to lights and fireworks that will fill your classroom with a festive vibe year-round, but the fun doesn’t stop there. Each bundle lesson has been designed to include a variety of cultural connections that can be used to help introduce your students to celebrations around the world.
Updated Release: Gustav Klimt Bundle
Introduce students to the glitz and glamour of Austrian artist Gustav Klimt in this freshly UPDATED bundle that features sparkly portraits, embellished animals and shimmering sunflowers. Glistening gold patterns made from curling lines and organic shapes that reference Klimt’s Golden Phase and Art Nouveau are recreated in lessons with the help of metallic art materials ranging from liquid tempera paint and oil pastels to foil paper and markers. Many bundle lessons also incorporate jewels to further emphasize Klimt’s highly decorative style.
Save the date! Enrollment is coming August 1-8, 2024

If you’ve ever struggles to map your lessons to standards and plan your year in advance, EPIC is about to become your new best friends!
EPIC is a 12-Bundle curriculum for K-7 that combines the elements of art and principles of design into a fully sequenced and done-for-you art program.
Designed with skill-building art projects in mind, our EPIC framework takes each grade level through the elements of art and principles of design with engaging activities, resources and lessons that children love.
Our Curriculums
Any teacher who has put together their own curriculum knows how tedious and challenging it can be.
And if you’ve ever struggled to map your lessons to standards and plan your year in advance, our done-for-you art curriculums are about to become your new best friend!
Our Set-Up for Success Art Curriculums offer a clear path of skill-building lessons, admin-pleasing standards and everything you need to teach art effortlessly and with unbounded creativity.
Our Lessons
Our lesson plans are designed to help any art teacher, regardless of experience, step into their art room with confidence and a plan. Our members love that they can use the time allocated for lesson planning to connect and develop relationships with their students.
Lesson plans are grouped together into themed art bundles that contain standards-rich, fully illustrated step-by-step lesson plans, drawing handouts, reference sheets, introductory slide decks, teaching resources and in many cases, video-based instruction.
Our Support System
When you become a Sparkler, you’re not just getting access to time (and sanity!) saving resources, plans and curriculums, you’re joining a powerful and supportive community of like-minded peers (and you’ll never feel lonely again).

About Patty
I’m Patty Palmer, founder of Deep Space Sparkle and The Sparklers’ Club.
When I opened the club for the very first time in 2016, my goal was simple:
To support art teachers with vibrant, rigorous art lessons — so they could stop worrying about planning and bring more creative energy to the classroom.
Since then, The Sparklers’ Club has not only become the go-to source for reputable teaching materials but a gathering place for like-minded, kind, supportive art teachers.
We understand that art teachers need more than a library of lesson plans …
Teaching art comes with incredible rewards and many challenges that few understand. And to thrive in 2024 and beyond… you need a support system that gets it.
So say YES to help where you need it — and let’s share the load together. I can’t wait to help you shine in the art room this year…
