Expert Profile: MaryAnn F. Kohl

Expertise: Creative art for children is my specialty (not curriculums in general, sorry). I am the author of twenty books on the subject ... books filled with art projects and art ideas. I would be happy to help think up projects for kids in particular areas of interest. Again, I am an expert in ART, but not really in "Crafts", and though I know how to make art work in a homeschooling environment, I am not a homeschool specialist. I`m happy to help. MaryAnn F.

Experience in the area
author of over ten books on art ideas for kids, former elementary teacher

What do you like about this subject? Creative freedom!!

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Children who draw on a regular basis do better in math and reading than children who do not draw. Drawing in this case means simply that... drawing on plain paper.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject I like to think that art is a process, not just a final product. So I like to see kids experiment, discover, explore.

Thanks MaryAnn, We are making greeting cards. I guess I was unclear about that. We are using recycled cards, scraps of fabric, paper, paint, crayons
