Art-Younger class
We looked at children's books that we love and read a story by Jan Brett. Then we talked about why we like these stories. We began to organize a story by creating a story board. We talked about their ideas for a story from what we have been studying for history. The children did some drawings on it. Their was not a strong feeling from all of them that they grasped what we were going to attempt doing. A couple kids understood, but seemed overwhelmed. There was also expressed that they could not do more work on them at home each week. So, in the interest of not letting them get too discouraged, I have changed our plan; each week I will prepare a specific picture for them to do and give them a specific new skill that we will work on in class. For the rest of the class we did some blending with our Gouache paint.
