Art History for Kids Part 1

Every year I try to offer 1 or 2 new classes. I have many returning students and it's important to me that they have new projects to work on. As well, there is just so much to learn about art and the different techniques and media that I can't imagine doing the same thing over and over again. I think I would get bored:)
Last year I thought it would be fun to to put together an art history program just for kids. I decided to offer it as a 2 part class because there was just soooooo much to cover. We did it in 2, 8 week sessions. I'm sure part of me was thinking that it also gave kids a chance "to bail" if it got to be too much. No one did. Everyone plus more returned for Part 2:)
This class was a "big chew" for me. Very time consuming and sometimes a little bit stressful as occasionally I had a hard time deciding on the specific projects while keeping to my goals of having the kids try a variety of media throughout the session. I am quite happy with the results. I learned so much and though we barely scratched the surface, it was really fun sharing and discussing all my findings as we moved along.
I would definitely do this one again:) .
