Meet the Masters

To help out in Luke's class this year, I've been the art volunteer. The program that the school uses is Meet the Masters. I listen and learn about a famous artist and then I teach the kids the technique in class. I was a little worried about it at first, they are 1st graders after all, but it's been really fun.

I love art. Didn't think I would like teaching it, but I'm having a lot of fun!
