Art Lessons: March 30 - Apr 3, 2020 Drawing VIOLET & STEAM WEEK!

It’s STEAM Week! ( STEAM is an approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking)

The first optional lesson is a guided drawing (not a STEAM lesson) of my buddy, Violet. Everyone can do that one! There are also two optional grade-level STEAM ideas for you this week. Feel free to do both activities even if you are in a different grade level. Post your work in the comments or send them to my email (kamyee_L@ics.ac.th). I would LOVE to see it :)
