I have been teaching art classes for over 18 years and I would like to use this space to share what I have learned about working with children.Art should be an enjoyable experience for all involved. With a little understanding of the process it can be fun for all.For some children, art class will be their first exposure to using scissors, glue bottles, markers or paint. It is important that a child feels empowered to use the materials to create their own art. The fine motor skills such as drawing, writing, and using scissors involve hand-eye coordination that is essential for reading and helps with writing skills. Structure your projects and teaching style to have the children feeling good about themselves with their art.
