Great Gifts for Art Teachers / Art Instructors

Holiday Gift Guide

Gifts for art teachers can be as simple as a hand written thank you note from a student or as complex as a gift basket, but art gifts are often the most preferred type of art teacher gifts. Art teachers dedicate a lot of time to students, teaching them the world of creativity and beauty while maintaining their own artistic talents. Whether you are purchasing a gift for an elementary school art teacher or you are selecting a gift for your personal art instructor, buying art teacher gifts can be confusing.

Watch – The Color Magic Watch, available from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a real conversation starter. Throughout the hour the unique second hand dial mixes a palate of colors along the watch face. Prices vary by size and style from $35 to $65. Also available in White to Black, this watch is art in itself. Your favorite art teacher will find it practical yet whimsical.

Fine Art Tote – For $19.99 plus shipping, you can buy your favorite art teacher a 16” x 17” fine art tote bearing the image of one of twelve different fine art paintings like Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” from Salamander Graphix. If your budget is a little less, some of the offered designs come in a smaller, more compact size of 10” x 14” for $16.99. Your favorite art teacher can use this bag to tote visual aids, papers to grade, art materials, or personal items. These bags make quite a bold statement.

Artist bear – The adorable Artist Gift Teddy Bear from artistgifts.com features a cute bear wearing a beret and paint splotched smock apron holding a palette, and miniature paintbrush.

Bear comes in Vanilla (white), Buttercream (ecru), Honey (golden brown), or dark chocolate (dark brown.) Bear can also be ordered with an optional Goatee moustache and beard. You can also purchase this bear from Vermont Teddy Bears, but it is the same price.
