Class Experience
This class gives children a sense of achievement and allow them to take pride in their work which builds confidence. When kids use their fingers to manipulate art materials, they are developing their fine motors skills as they use those small muscles in their hands. Art allows children to develop their creativity which is important throughout their lives. By doing something creative, you allow for self-expression and foster mental growth in children by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas, new ways of thinking and problem-solving. The class has a project every week and the materials will be posted weekly. In this four weeks, we will be having 2 crafts and 2 drawings that will also encourage painting. Every Monday, 10am EST, l will send a video showing the steps that the students will take to accomplish their task for the 4weeks. This class is not a live class. However, students can use their creativity to switch materials at will. Students should please post a picture of their crafts or painting in the classroom. All materials will be recycled materials that can be found within the home. The students will be shown the step by step instruction on how to complete the project. This class has a flexible schedule so students will have access to the classroom anytime. Week 1 & 2 Milk Carton Puppet Play Week 3: Wind Power Week 4: Aug. 28 - Sep. 3rd Humpty Dumpty Doorstop Bonus: Gliding Gremlin

Teacher expertise and credentials
When a topic is taught, making a craft on the subject drives home the lesson for the students. So, crafts and paintings help the children learn more and create an everlasting memory for them. I have also and still in training on how to teach arts to students.
