The other school mom and I had to postpone the December Art Vistas to this last Friday.  On Friday, we had some difficulty initially coordinating due to the rainy day and also another class was having the same project at the same time.  Eventually it turned out ok after we set up the cafeteria and the lesson began just a little behind schedule.  The topic was to appreciate how artists expressed feelings in their paintings.  After the mom and I did the introduction, we discussed the hands on project "Moody Clowns". We talked about ways to show expressions, and we opened it up to the kids to decide if they wanted to draw a clown or any other faces of their choice. The kids went straight to work and they were all devoted to make a nice drawing. This might be the most creative and determined we have seen them yet; there were many incredible and beautiful faces drawn. Interestingly, there were only a couple of clowns, the rest of them were unique characters with amazing features and great expressions.  Logan’s face drawing was a bit unusual in my opinion, but he seemed to have a good time making his artwork too.
