2009: Middle School at Kamehameha

I covered the middle school art classes for three weeks in fall 2009 at Kamehameha Schools Maui.

Teacher Lena Casimano took leave of absence for the birth of her grandchild, and instructed me to come up with my own lesson plans. In the 8^th grade ceramics class we practiced our hand-building by making pinch pots and frieze tiles that illustrated Hawaiian myths.  It was fantastic to work in a ceramic studio with teenagers.  The 6^th and 7^th graders practiced drawing from life, color theory, and painted their own expressive versions of famous paintings of their choice.  

Later, I also covered middle school English classes and elementary school classes.
