Advice, please?

I really, really should be in bed (I'm even dressed the part, including no glasses, so please ignore typos) but I realized that if I'm to have any chance of getting advice, nows the time to ask.

I'm substitute teaching a small art class of young children (don't laugh; the person was desperate) tomorrow afternoon. Any ideas on what to give them to paint? They've been working with H2O's, pastels and pencil. I plan on arriving far enough ahead to get a glimpse of previous work, but I'll still need an idea. They all will be working from one thing, like a still life, from what the person described.

I should have asked what the course description was. I'll have to ask at the front desk...

So, any ideas? What would you have liked as a 6 year old in an informal, extracuricular art class?

(no subject)

Well, I wont say "never again," but I will say that I'm not ever going to do that again without a more thorough outline of what to do, what to say and how to rein in the chaos.

That said, it wasn't a complete disaster. It wasn't a success, either.

Bah. I've never wanted to be a teacher. Never.

Although... it was kind of fun trying to encourage this one girl who believes she's not good at drawing. Tiny little thing lacks confidence, that's all. Not that she's likely to choose art class over swimming ever again. lol.

I'm now exhausted. Didn't help that there wasn't child care available, although Babe did entertain the kids quite a bit. He's such a charmer. Of course, that didn't help their concentration.

Bah.
