I while ago I heard about an after school art class called Young Rembrants from my friend Kim. Allie took a class and came home with the cutest works of art. I decided to do some homework and see what it would take to get the art class at our school. Mei, the director, was excited and had been wanting to get the class in more schools on the west side so all it took was a phone call and talking with Lauri, the principal to get permission.
Sarah and Natalie really enjoyed the class. Shannan and I came to help for the first few times as Lauri wanted me to make sure everything went smoothly. It was fun and I loved the cute things the girls brought home. This fish is one of my favorite. I think the class focused a little two much on copying a picture that the teacher brought each week, but it taught the kids that they just have to divide up something into its basic elements in order to draw something that might initially seem hard. So while it did not inspire a ton of expression and creativity - it gave the kids more confidence in their abilities to make beautiful things.
