Sometimes it’s just really hard to decide what to write about. Sometimes I´ll have an idea, and by the time I make it to the library to type it out, it’s gone. Other times I´ll have a whole blog posted, and it won´t feel right, just doesn’t click, so it doesn’t get posted. I guess that’s the nature of blogging.

I recently had some friends and family send down some art supplies. Today I’m going to binding some small sketch pads for a group of about 6 children, and then tomorrow, all going well, I´ll be starting art classes! I´m hoping to start with color theory, then moving onto shades and tones, then next shapes and forms, etc. Each kid will get their own book, and little paint set (which will be returned to me after each class to the guys don´t destroy them) but over all I want this to be a space for creativity, self identity. Here these aren´t really focused on. The kids copy and paste in the schools and don’t have access to the resources for artistic creativity. We´ll see how this goes!

Anyone have any good lesson plan ideas?
