Patty Palmer is an art educator, teaching art to kids in California. About 400 of them, according to her blog.
I came across a post on this blog, Top Eight Tips for Teaching Art to Children.
Although its an old post, published in 2011, the tips are nevertheless interesting and helpful, in retrospect, as I used to teach kids who had a very short attention span. I was having difficulty trying to hold their interest and attention, and it was quite a challenge. I actually had to do projects with them, which they found more interesting, like recreating scenes from A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Maybe next time I'll try Patty's tips!
