Art class for 4 and 5 year olds

Today, I was given the opportunity to help assist an art class for 4 to 5 year old students in one of the buliding that belongs to the School of the Art Institute on Columbus Drive. These children turned out to be a very smart and creative group of students. They drew in their sketchbooks first, then they had storytime, and later, they had snacktime. Afterwards, the students were given a small lecture about a certain artist and then they painted color wheels and each drew on a big sheet of paper until it was time to go home. It was interesting viewing these little children doing their art works in this class. I have to admit that I did underestimated them a little in how much attention would they give in actually doing any art pieces in a classroom setting. However, these kids changed my mind. They like to draw alot and just let their imaginations flows. I enjoyed my day helping out the teacher and the other T.A.s with taking care and teaching these young students for the day. I might want to go back another Saturday again, some time in the future to get more experience and to continue to see how art is portrayed in the eyes of a 4-5 year old.
