Drawing with Mr. J helps students celebrate art

3/13/2023

March is Youth Arts Month and Arts in Education Month. To celebrate, bring WOSU’s Drawing with Mr. J video series into the classroom. The Emmy award-winning series for students in kindergarten through fifth grade features Ohio’s 2018 Teacher of the Year Jonathan Juravich. Each engaging episode offers a simple drawing lesson while Mr. J helps students understand their feelings and learn people skills.

Each video includes a standards-aligned companion guide with activities and resources for educators and parents. The videos can be worked into a variety of lesson plans or used as a morning warmup or way to check in with students after lunch or other transitions.

The series was created by the Broadcast Educational Media Commission, the Department and WOSU as a part of the Multimedia Grant project.
