The Sitka Fine Arts Camp has an elementary age session, one week of morning classes. Groups of 15 kids rotate through four classes of just under an hour. This year I got to do art with 3rd through 5th graders. One day we drew a chair – and on another, their counselor modeling!

I got ideas for exercises from various drawing books, most for colleges and art schools – and the best book ever is Doing Art Together, by Muriel Silberstein-Storfer with Mablen Jones.
