I cannot believe it has taken me so long to post. I have been fortunate enough to spend more and more time teaching art and I never fail to be amazed by all of my artists- even the youngest! We spend time on the "process" to give them the chance to explore new materials and have FUN making art!

One of my favorite books I've found about being a teacher is Mrs. Spitzer's Garden that shows how a teacher is so important in helping children become who they are and hopefully making a difference in their lives by giving them important tools to carry with them on their individual journeys! A must read for any teacher!
It inspired me to have the four year old class create clay self portraits and each one of them are truly unique!
From the book:
Greenware faces before firing:
The kids painted canvas frames to display their portraits:
I am SO happy at how these turned out!
