Celebrate art with Drawing with Mr. J video series

3/4/2024

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, the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Franklin County (CASA) and WOSU as a part of the Multimedia Grant project.
