Don’t dictate, help them navigate!
Art is not about copying Rembrandt or Van Gogh, it is about finding your voice and your style.
For over 35+ years I taught K-12 in public and private schools along with museums, at-risk, adult and veteran groups (among others) the joy of creating their art. At the age of 50 I went back to college, obtained my doctorate and taught another 16 years at the college level helping about 250 students learn how to be effective art teachers. At that point I retired my formal teaching career but not my love of helping others, especially children, find their voice through art.
I will be adding examples and maybe even a few ideas for lesson plans soon. This website is a work in progress.
This looks like a big black hole that needs filled!
I’ll be adding some more information soon.
