What I liked

I loved the place, and the atmosphere of creativity. Doing art with kids is always fun! I liked that even though there was a weekly theme and art prompts kids were supposed to try to follow, there was still freedom for self-expression and creativity for the kids.

What I wish was different

A lot of material would get wasted - which is understandable, that happens. I think we should have taught the kids about the proper care of art materials though (always wash a paintbrush after using it or the paint will dry on it and make it unusable).

Advice

Be patient with the children. Some will be difficult and rude, and some will push your buttons just because they can and they want to. It can be hard to deal with kids when they're like this, but I found that just being patient and calm with them worked better than taking their bait and arguing back.
