I teach students about art, creativity, and visual problem solving at Carthage Junior High. My wife is also an art teacher, and my three kids are all into their own arts, music, drama, imaginary unicorn development!

Drawing on the right side of the brain
We have started with some pre instruction drawings: self portraits and a person from memory. Next is upside down drawings
Just opened your email. The capabilities of children are so under-estimated. Obviously you don't & from the pictures I can see that children are capable of so much more than we think. Give a thumbs up from me to your students. I attended art school at the age of 26. For the first year we had a subject they called "Colour & Design" Many of the exercises came from this book. I learnt more in that year than the 25 before it & I had been drawing since I was three. Well done you & well done kids. I think it's time I dragged it from the book shelf & did the exercises again. Good for the brain.
