Time to read art, talk about today's process... what we learned and what we did.

Self-critique and helpful feedback done in a positive manner is building self-esteem.


We learn and teach each other, when we share about our work.


Each young artist gets an opportunity to share about their art and what they experienced while in this session; what techniques they learned, and what they will do differently in the future.
 Work in various stages of completion
