I love to teach art! It is my favorite volunteer activity I do at school. I teach art in my son’s class twice a month and once a month in my daughter’s class. Our school has an art program that is solely taught by the parents. There are lessons to teach on famous artists, but I like to find my own or make them up!
This is a great blog for finding art projects to teach kids. They always go with a famous artist and are tried and true (haven’t had one fail yet).
Below are pictures from a lesson I taught last Friday on the artist Paul Klee. The class drew their own self-portraits with pencil, erased any extra lines they didn’t want, and then traced over the pencil with a Sharpie marker. After the drawing portion of the project they used squares of watercolor tissue paper (it bleeds when it gets wet and transfers color to whatever it is touching) to cover their portraits and then painted water over the tissue for the final affect. They removed the tissue paper at the end and after drying, have the project you see below. They were able to complete this project in an hour!
awesome!!
