In this workshop we will discuss the psychology and importance of art in the Montessori classroom. We will creatively connect art to all areas of the Montessori classroom. We will identify common classroom weaknesses and discover solutions to create a complete art area with confidence. We will use a wide variety of art materials to present a year of self-motivated art curriculum. All presentations are designed to grow with the young child. Attendees are encouraged to have some hands-on fun and participate in creating their own art portfolios. Please dress accordingly we can get messy!
