Cartooning Art Project

I chose to do the first 25 minutes of "Cartooning" (for our homeschool co-op with 25 kids ages 5-12). It was the first time our group had done anything like that, and it ended up working really well.  At any given moment almost all the kids were happily engaged, which in a group that diverse I consider a big success.      

Two of the greatest things about the See the Light Art Projects is the child/parent can stop and start the lesson as needed. And the other thing is I can walk away and let the instructor do the teaching. For a homeschool mom searching for an art curriculum that is pretty much self taught, this is the perfect way to go with very little input from me. It does all I need for it to do and our children really enjoyed learning all about cartooning from its history and origin all the way up to how to create it.  

I needed something easy, something different for an evening at church with kids from 6 to 16. Since I had zero prep time (for a variety of reasons), and needed to fill an hour (I'm being honest), I thought I'd try this. We use the Bible Story DVDs with our children's ministry, so I was confident of the quality of See The Light products. It went great - even better than I could have imagined - PTL!  

I'm in charge of art for our coop. We have about 50 kids from ages 4-16.   I use ART CLASS & ART PROJECTS & BIBLE STORIES, so I knew this would be of equal quality. It is. I can tell you that 50 kids thoroughly enjoyed cartooning! I broke it into 2 lessons of about 30 minutes each. The kids could have go on and on.  

Who doesn't enjoy learning to cartoon I wondered. So - one night the whole family, including Grandma and Grandpa sat , watched, and learned cartooning, laughing , and enjoying Pat's teaching.  I heartily recommend this for a fun family evening (or day).  

It's not always easy to find an art lesson that appeals to all ages, all stages of development, including those with disabilities.  "Cartooning" does it!  To see all 10 of them engrossed with Pat Knepley's teaching and learning to do cartooning + having a Bible message - fabulous!  And you need only the MOST basic materials.
