  • Provides a way to share with home what was covered in class that day.

    Time is precious.  We want to give the best of ourselves in all that we do.  With Teach Kids Art Appreciation every artist has been researched and organized so the best information is provided to students without you having to do any research for any of it.  Information can be presented with confidence knowing that relevant key points will be shared with the students.  
  
​    It's as simple as - reviewing the artists information before class that is located in Art Chat - gather and prep whatever activity supplies you have chosen to do - head into class - hang the prints and posters from the portfolio and begin the Art Chat dialogue for the amount of time that you have to cover it - start the Activity - finish the activity- pass out Arty Facts - clean up - put everything away until next time.
