Spring outdoor art classes officially started last week, and we're extra excited to be working on an all new set of projects outside in the fresh air and sunshine. After a small accident earlier in the week, I found myself with a sprained ankle and on crutches for my first class (with 16 kids!), and was grateful for the help of my assistant teacher Erin and some extra sweet students. In the class pictured above, we did a laid back drawing project called "Family Trees", in which we made portraits of our families, but as trees (or foxes, or raccoons, or beetles or ice cream cones) rather than human people. I'm looking forward to our second week of classes (I accidentally typed "crutches" instead of "classes" at first, and am in fact more than ready to rid myself of these awkward distractions!).
