I love the range of cards for them to copy/try....something for everyone as you say. I have no patience for working with children ( that's why I'm a vet nurse!)..... Love my own of course but they're just two from the mould :0)<br />Have to say I love the sheeps googly eyes....I bet he was a favourite with the younger kids :0)<br />Had to laugh about art classes...so many people have been there....art by its nature is a subjective area so why are people so judgemental!!!! I never took art at school!<br />Jenny xJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775730618873226561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913568359524734761.post-23376630292989093412012-03-22T05:45:53.379-03:002012-03-22T05:45:53.379-03:00This is awesome that you could do this, Jessi!

Funny how I hated jr. and sr. high art too and felt like I wasn't good enough. Art should be fun and celebrated.

I think kids are like animals - they smell my fear... You however, just go out there and rock their little lives! What an awesome selection of cards for them to create! A little something for everyone. And I too was scarred by art classes in school. I was thrilled to bits recently when my old art teacher actually bought some of my cards.

Fantastic array of cards for them to make. I have some women who actually measure with a ruler to get the elements exactly like the sample. Love working with the creative young ones!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00164298702303461873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913568359524734761.post-37777287696344342852012-03-20T19:18:31.950-03:002012-03-20T19:18:31.950-03:00OMG...are you nuts?

I love the roses card...CAS and elegant too!<br /><br />And I think kids as they get older don't necessarily lose their creative impulse (I have noticed this with C)...I think she just wants to perfect a technique she already knows. She is much more precise with her crafting tools and papers. So maybe they just wanted to make a quality product and knew they were more likely doing it if they followed your lead!Allison Rankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709725791930196158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913568359524734761.post-87335856762326123092012-03-20T13:44:36.716-03:002012-03-20T13:44:36.716-03:00How awesome that you took on this challenge!

I second the idea of splitting them up by age groups. Or you can try using the older kids as helpers for the younger kids. That can be fun if the older kids are game. <br /><br />I think you did an outstanding job trying to balance creativity with efficiency. I like that you gave the kids so many options! One of my kids is really into art, so art programs mean a lot to me! Kudos to you for being such a thoughtful teacher:)JJ Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587368847645390054noreply@blogger.com
