I teach Art to five amazing girls at co-op every other Monday. They are extremely creative girls who are (usually) excited about anything I come up with for them to do. This is the fourth year I've been teaching this class. Before the co-op year began, I found the coolest blog by a real Art teacher, Deep Space Sparkle. Her projects are inspiring to me! And I am finding that the girls' art is improving.
Robin has been doing a Magic Tree House unit study in co-op. They are currently studying the Afternoon on the Amazon book with an emphasis on the Amazon rainforest. I found an art project to coincide with their unit study and we did chalk pastels of rainforest animals. This was our first time with chalk pastels at co-op. It was messy art but working with them on the black construction paper made for a bright and beautiful picture!
