Transform Learning with

Artful Literacy Centers™

The Artful Literacy Centers™, created by Amanda Koonlaba of Party in the Art Room, are a series of engaging activities designed to enhance literacy centers through the arts. These centers allow students to creatively explore language, build literacy skills, and develop their artistic abilities.

Introducing Artful Literacy Centers!

Created by Amanda Koonlaba, the mastermind behind Party in the Art Room, these centers bring together the power of art and literacy to enhance student learning in a fun and engaging way.

Our centers provide hands-on, creative experiences that challenge students to explore language in new and exciting ways. By combining elements of visual art and literacy, students develop important skills like fine motor coordination, spatial reasoning, and vocabulary.

Designed for elementary language arts classrooms, our Artful Literacy Centers offer a wide range of activities that can be easily integrated into your lesson plans.

From word collages to literacy sculptures, our centers provide endless opportunities for students to build their literacy skills while also flexing their creativity.

We believe that every student deserves to have access to high caliber learning experiences, and that's why we're dedicated to providing high-quality resources that make it easy to bring artful learning into any classroom.

Comparison chart contrasting hands-on centers and artful centers in education. Hands-on centers involve physical manipulation and focus on rote memorization, with a clear right or wrong methodology and no need for student articulation. Artful centers use artistic processes to engage students, emphasize creativity and critical thinking, encourage multiple pathways, rely on speaking and listening skills, and focus on the learning process while involving metacognition.
