As the K/1s spend some time learning about the artist/author Jan Brett, they delighted in learning how Jan Brett creates her "Hedgie" character. After trying their hand at drawing and then painting Hedgie, they will make masks of the various characters in Jan Brett's story The Hat, which they'll perform as a small play.
I've been teaching art at Parker since the school's beginning in 1991. Working with students over their kindergarten through eighth grade year becomes a longitudinal study of creative child development. It's inspiring and energizing to be part of the students' amazing growth as artists thoughtful young adults.
