Our newest pathway is here, and it comes with a soundtrack! Verse and Voice is a six-lesson poetry series for grades 6-8, built with our new partners at Poetry Rocks Schools. Every lesson pairs a classic poem or prose passage with an original song and music video. Plus, join us at edWeb on October 20.
Our newest Lettering Series pathway, Creative Styles, is here just in time for October! Students learn to turn their own handwriting into four fun decorative styles—Twinkle, Spooky, Zombie Hand, and Wacky Western—using nothing more than a pencil, a couple of markers, and our free printable handout. Every lesson is taught on video by lettering artist and educator Heather Leavitt Martinez, so no lettering expertise required. As always, it's completely free, with no login or subscription needed.
Welcome back — Blackwing Foundation has a lot in store for your classroom this year! From a brand-new Seasonal Art Pathway dropping every season to three exciting new pathways in Architecture & Design, Stop Motion Animation, and Verse & Voice, creativity is headed straight to your inbox all year long. Share this with a fellow teacher and make sure you're subscribed so you never miss a new lesson!

Summer 2026 is shaping up to be a big one for Blackwing Foundation! We're deep in development on four brand-new Pathways to Creativity — from Architecture & Design to Stop Motion Animation — and we can't wait to get them into classrooms. Plus, join us on June 26th at the Early STEAM Summer Symposium, a free virtual event open to anyone working with children from birth through 3rd grade.
What happens when you put math and art at the same table? A lot. Blackwing Foundation sat down with the Early Math Project to explore how creativity and math are more connected than you think — and what that means for students and educators.

The Cursive Pathway is officially live inside the Lettering Series — and it's free! Heather Martinez of Let's Letter Together guides students through the Italic Hand, a creative approach to cursive that goes far beyond repetitive drills. With vetted video lessons, a free PDF practice packet, and a completely grab-and-go format, this pathway is ready whenever you are.

A Screenwriting Competition for Young Writers
In a digital-first world, the tactile act of handwriting is more vital than ever. The Cursive Pathway was designed to bridge the digital gap by providing a creative outlet that restores student focus and fine motor development.
Join us for a live Studio Session with Kim Bavington, founder of Art Classes for Kids. We’ll discuss the power of the "creative spark" and lead a lesson on drawing realistic faces.
