Some kids honestly took painfully long. Oh, plus we also had a couple of art classes of contour practice prior to the hands, and we had also talked about color a bit so they knew what I meant by monochromatic.<br /> <br />I also have 40 minute classes, but we meet 2 times during a 6 day cycle, and also have time for kids who want to come in during lunch a couple of times a week. I find it near impossible to finish anything in just one art class, except for the youngest kids. Good luck!!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-4147228957800105452011-08-22T19:10:22.679-04:002011-08-22T19:10:22.679-04:00These are wonderful!

I am the HS art teacher at my school, but now will be going to the elementary to teach one period every day. Each grade will get one 40 minute period of art once a week for nine weeks, so I am looking for lessons to get "the most bang for my buck." Many of my old lessons took multiple periods to complete. Any suggestions?Marianne Kreinbihl Galykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303489486259238184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-30972352298963238622011-05-26T10:47:51.950-04:002011-05-26T10:47:51.950-04:00LOVE this!

Hopefully after our show next week I can get back to blogging and post some pictures of our hand designs. I will keep the sign language idea in mind for next year. thanks for posting!sarah k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17650814165986876419noreply@blogger.com
