“Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.”― Salvador Dali
My art lesson taking place out of doors on a bright autumn day with a group of enthusiastic fifth graders. The quote about perfection is one that needs to be repeated, or some version of it when teaching children. (except for very young children who have no fear of failure!) I have the kids all arranged and instructed to draw this tree , not just draw a tree but to draw this particular tree on this day. I wanted them to really learn to look.
I sat across from the group and drew them on that particular day! I used their school art paper and their crayola paints to demonstrate the lesson.
