I actually worked in a children’s play area as a summer job when I was a student, I can still make a balloon sword or balloon dog (I could possibly still do a lion, might need a refresher on that one) so am ready for entertaining children 😆 I can’t juggle though.
I refuse to entertain:D I always say, "I will talk to your grade 4s but they are getting a crash course in professional illustration workflow" (the grade 4s love it).
But where possible I try to get mixed ages — it balances energy levels, and I can call on the kids when I need young knees (e.g. to pose as a bird for comparative anatomy) and the adults when I need cheerfully "bad" (not my word) examples of art to make the kids more comfortable sharing theirs.
Thank you Helen. It was very interesting and relieving at the same time! I'd love to do things like this plan you shared, but not entertaining. 😁
Besides, what a fun session! The book looks really lovely too. I have to find it!😊😍
