Below is my post from 3/13/2020
Grades K-2 and 4-5 have 90 minutes of art per week. Grade 3 has 45 minutes of art per week. Have your artist spend that much time working from any or all of the following 3 options. Of course, parents, you are allowed to assign them MORE ART than the allotment we have at school! The only wrong answer on any of the lessons I have provided is poor or no effort! Have your artist label their art with the name of each lesson and their name on the back before bringing it back to school with them when we return.
3 Options (More options will be added later)
