Your passion for teaching art elevates spirits. Learn how to write an art teacher cover letter that will elevate your chances at getting hired.
Sometimes, art is all about expressing yourself more or less overtly. It engages the recipient and frequently invites their own interpretations.
Other times, it’s about telling a story.
Today, we’re combining the two into one story—your professional experience.
It also has just one interpretation—you’re a great art teacher, maybe even up there with Bob Ross himself.
But to make sure you get your message across, you need to master the art of writing cover letters more than you mastered color theory.

Mr. John White
Principal
Scorpio High School
4182 Post Avenue
Pelican Rapids, MN 56572
Dear John,
27 years ago, when I attended my first art class as a student at school, I found the subject uninspiring. It didn’t take me long to realize that it wasn’t the subject, but the teacher, who would later be replaced. And under the tutelage of my new teacher, I became an art aficionado, eventually branching out into teaching as well. I am now incredibly happy to put forward my application to Scorpio High as an art teacher with 11 years of experience and several certifications.
My passion for teaching has allowed me to explore visual arts in ways I previously did not even think of. In my previous school, Cleveland Upper High School, I saw over 50 students grow under my tutelage and go on to take part, place, and even win many art contests on a regional and national level. Many more have pursued art in higher education, too. Some of my other achievements are:
I was very impressed with the entries of Scorpio High students in the Celebrating Art contest last year. Surely, the kids must be under extraordinary guidance. I’d very much like to see what I can contribute with my versatile approach, covering both the classical masters, and frequently (and fearlessly!) delving into the brave new facets of modern art.
It would be incredible if we could discuss my job application in person. Would next Friday be possible? I’m sure you’d be thrilled to hear how I could help your school foster more love for arts in your students and bring home at least one first place trophy.
Sincerely,
Miles Jansen, Art Teacher

How to address a cover letter? If you’re not sure who will be reading it, i.e. who the principal is, try looking the school up on Google, it should come up easily. Alternatively, you can call the school ahead of time.
Pro Tip: Never, ever address your art teaching cover letter “To Whom It May Concern”. It’s impersonal and not very appealing.

Pro Tip: Don’t talk about your salary requirements on your cover letter. You’re more likely to cause more harm than good.
