| Finished owl |
I very much enjoyed my experience teaching pre-schoolers. I had a really great group of kids and learned a lot from them. Their approach to art is so absent of anxiety and full of bravery and experimentation. They are fluid, fun, and work without hesitation. I love that they savor the various processes--such as pushing paint around on paper, running their hands through a bowl of uncooked pasta, and marveling at color of all kinds. I can totally relate.
Today, I was trying to survey what projects they liked best and which they didn't favor. Each student named a different preferred project, but nobody said they disliked anything except Penelope who said she didn't like getting glue on her hands. At any rate, I came away with a renewed interest in teaching and very much inspired to be more experimental, flexible, and playful in my own work. I definitely need to splatter some paint or get glue on my hands and see what happens.
