Art in the Classroom started 2 weeks ago. I descend upon every elementary class from K-7 up to 3 times throughout the season which runs from January to the end of April. The very first lesson was with the kindergarten students at Nechako school - we explored a very basic landscape with pastels. They were able to grasp the concept of perspective however fully formed bodies were still beyond many of them. (that particular wiring will not be budged or even nudged before its time.)
One little fellow was carefully sorting through his box to select the smallest nubs of pastel then placing them in his hand - "I'm picking out the babies!". Throughout the lesson he kept re-locating his 'babies' to a kleenex he'd placed on the teachers desk.
(aaaaw!)
