All of the Art will be age appropriate and connect with the project of the day. Each Class will have an Art project that I will do with my students step by step! I stress the importance of having fun when we are creating Art and not worrying or stressing about it being perfect! We will learn about how Art can help our brains relax and how Art can be use as a coping skill to help self regulate. I will post the outline for Art projects that we will have coming up (12 weeks at a time) the instructions for the assignment and the materials that may be needed for each one. I will give alternative materials that can be used in case you don't have the items listed or your child works better different materials. Week of (10/14): Topic /Theme 1: Who are you?
