A. I have owned the different types of art materials we experimented with at one point or another in my life, but never really knew how to use them to their fullest potential. I have never been one to push hard when it comes to drawing, so I never d…

The Rainbow Fish was one of the first books in my library, so great! ☺ May kids are fascinated in origami, shoot adults are fascinated by origami! I think we need to incorporate cultural activities into our classroom whenever we can. It can…

Meghan,
I LOVE bugs in art, because of all the color and symmetry. I was always that little odd kid fascinated with collecting bugs. I loved how you had so many books for us to look at to find ideas. It can be very easy to just choose to do a butte…
I am such a huge advocate for bringing a wide variety of culture into the classroom! I wish the I was there to participate in your lesson. Looking at your lesson plan I assume the class had a blast with this! The book introduces the idea and the chi…
