Other art idea sources
I often pull inspiration for teaching art from other magazines. They have seasonal ideas that can be adapted to art and other lessons. Examples below:
Family Fun Magazine offers craft ideas with patterns that can adapt to classroom activities.
Paper Creations and other scrapbook and card magazines are also good sources of ideas that can be modified for the elementary classroom and high school classrooms.
