Garie, I think it is wonderful that you spend so much time bringing the love of art to children.  I look at their bright little faces and can see how proud they are as they show off the things they made.  You are instilling confidence in their hearts.  And not many people realize how important that is.

Hi, Thanks,
The greatest feeling of satisfaction about teaching polymer clay arts, are their finish projects. It makes them independent and confident into creating PC arts, it also help them in their school works.
Regards,
Garie

Hi Again,

I would love to do this - I love working with younger people. Whenever you get a moment to think of how/what we can do - I would be honored to work with you in any way I could. You are a star among stars!!!!  I love the idea of guiding younger people to an understanding as to art and how each person can and does relate to it. how important colors are to each person and general appreciation of how there is beauty throughout the world - waiting to be discovered.

You bring out the best in the children ......they are looking soooo happy.

Thank you for the though..Rickie Beth

Thank YOU Rickie, I have also work with ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexia, for years, I am very happy that their conditions improve through my play classes, in fact, they are very creative children. These special kids are treated the same as other kid in my regular classes, there is no differentiation in my creative clay teaching.
I will always happy to help kids to be confident and independent, if there is any thing that we can work together, I will be happy to do so.
Here is my link to some of the special kids,

Hi Garie,

As always, I appreciate that you post these great pictures of your kids and their artwork.  I am always amazed at their creations and their imagination.  What a wonderful teacher you must be to get these kids interested to the point of doing such great art! 

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get my grandsons interested at all in creating anything...LOL.  I have bookmarked your site to show them as inspiration.  I'm sure they will love the Aquatic creatures, swords, bones, haunted house and the transporters!! 

I love the dioramas, the Hinamatsuri Dolls, hair bends and all of the other artwork I see here.  Oh yeah, the pictures frames are great too. 

I hope you continue to do what you do and to keep showing us the amazing creations of these young children.  Please tell them how much we appreciate them and their art!

Hello Linda, how are you ?
Thank You, "No matter what I do, I can't seem to get my grandsons interested at all in creating anything...LOL. ", Well, it is always difficult to teach your own kid or grandson, that's what our kids parent have been saying. Especially they are so use to us at home been parent and grandma, its also the environment. If you put a group of 6 to 8 kids together, they will play, playing is the key to teaching clay. Another thing about children, you must know their interests and communicate with them on subject of their interest, toy game,etc.

Thanks, I will convey your message to our students.
Regards,
Garie

Your kids continue to do the most awesome work!  I love it when you share your class pics!   It's really hard to pick a favorite, but I love the Cheshire Cat!  That young man did a fabulous job on the cat's smile!  I think I want to make a Hinamatsuri doll...    How young do I need to be to join your class?   :)
